I don't know how someone could disagree as if it were perfectly acceptable to allow your children to become this unhealthy.  Sweden has some of the strictest child protective laws.

Why Poverty Leads to Obesity and Life-Long Problems

Obesity Reviews

Abstract

Although the prevalence of obesity in Sweden still is low in an international perspective, the development during the last decades is alarming in adults, adolescents and children alike. The prevalence of obesity [body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg m-2] in adults has doubled during the last two decades and is now approximately 10% in both men and women, according to estimates based on self-reported BMI from repeated random samples of the population. However, prevalence estimates based on measured BMI from the WHO MONICA study indicate that the self-reported data result in underestimates. In military conscripts, the prevalence of obesity (BMI > 30 kg m-2) almost quadrupled to 3.2% from 1971 to 1995, while the overweight fraction (BMI > 25 kg m-2) more than doubled to 16.3%. The development in younger age groups seems to be similar; the prevalence of overweight [International Obesity Task Force (IOTF)/Cole] in children aged 10 years in Gothenburg has doubled to 18% (2.9% obese) during the last decade, and similar figures have been reported in other studies. However, most reports on childhood overweight stem from the larger metropolitan areas, and hence may be underestimates because of the urban-rural influence on obesity-status. Recent data from non-urban areas in the northern part of Sweden estimate the prevalence of overweight (BMI > 20 kg m-2) in 10-year-olds to above 30%. In the most comprehensive study in children, including both rural and urban areas, BMI was measured among all children aged 10 years (n = 5517; 92.7% of the population) in the county of Ostergotland, and the prevalence of overweight (IOTF/Cole) was 22% in both boys and girls, of which 4% and 5% were obese respectively.

Last week the nation was shocked by news that the parents of an 11-year-old boy had been arrested on suspicion of neglect and child cruelty after allowing his weight to balloon to 15st. According to the NHS, the healthy weight range for his age and height, 5ft 1in, is from 6st 14lb to 9st 7lb.

Speaking on This Morning today, Tam Fry from the National Obesity Forum said that the onus is on parents to keep a child healthy, and that it was right to arrest the parents for abuse in such an extreme case.

‘I do think arresting the parents was right, though it is always difficult to say without knowing the details of a case,' said Mr Fry.

The vernacular here is always interesting.  With neologisms like slut-shaming, why bother keeping a dictionary or thesaurus "handy".  :cool2:

Not everyone needs a romantic relationship with hand holding and candle lights.  Gay guys have casual sex all the time, why not have casual sex with a closeted or experimental person.  More affluent areas tend to have more attractive people and more closeted men than big cities.  Wealthier men are more into grooming like manscaping and having manicures, which blurs the line between metrosexual and gay.  I cannot stand art fags or raging queens.

Can you say sexual identity crisis.

| These people are going to be cash-rich 19-year-olds and cash-poor 30-year-olds… If you're making 22 grand a year and not paying for college, you can earn enough disposable income to have an apartment and a car. But it tops out there. Job security is not good, and you end up in the lower middle class and working poor. |

I know it certainly isn't doing the UK any favors.  The pound is down $1.55.  I think the Euro is a failed concept, which was designed to help poorer nations like Spain, Greece and France.  The pound was around $1.70 before the Eurozone.  The Euro is worth less (or maybe worthless) than the Cayman Island Dollar KYD $1.31 a previous colony of Great Britain.  EUR is $1.22 down from $1.35.

They are not flamboyant.  They probably cannot have as much sex as they would like, which is better for you.  They will not kiss and tell.  :rotfl:

So you are friends with both the husband and the wife.  Have you actually turned him down?  There is definitely an allure to the closet or to those who may just want to experiment as you say.

Honduras is the world's most violent country with a homicide rate of 90.4 per 100,000 people.  That's 18 times the crime rate in the U.S.

@bryanbear:

I may be fat but I can go on a diet and get skinny you can undo stupid and this post and person are way stupid in my book!

"you can undo stupid" sounds pretty stupid "in my book".

Obesity is a horribly serious epidemic.  It increases the cost of health insurance for everyone else, it promotes gluttony and sets a poor precedent for children.  The American First Lady is currently on a crusade to end obesity in the States.

The alternative is age spot and wrinkles, and chubby since that's what it appears that you like.  Maybe you are make fun because you are from with terrible plastic surgeons or can't afford it.  I would hate to have anything done in some places.

The piece of paper is a symbol.  It means you have been schooled.  Since you are so smart, medical school will be a breeze and you will get that piece of paper.  I have a piece of paper that says I have taken an immunology course work i.e., a transcript.  To prevent the spread of AIDS/HIV the Swedish government passed legislation that made it difficult for bars to exist outside of hotels and requires the purchase of food with any alcoholic beverage.  As a result, the bars are cleaner and they are not cruisy dens of inequity like in New York City and other big cities.  Violent crime is quite low, even in big cities like Stockholm.  The topic was about obesity and stupidity, if you are not fat then you have less to worry about.

Why should it matter who I am attracted to?  Propinquity is the propensity to date or have relationships with people who live near you.  Cities that are not huge like London or Los Angeles tend towards having a single race in them.  Thus, you are more likely to date your neighbor than someon who lives 30 km away you, increasing your odds of dating your own races.  Minorities tend to live in bigger cities.  People tend to cluster with their own kind.  Unless you live in a big city like Los Angeles or New York or London, you are less likely to have more diversity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propinquity

In social psychology, propinquity (from Latin propinquitas, "nearness") is one of the main factors leading to interpersonal attraction. It refers to the physical or psychological proximity between people. Propinquity can mean physical proximity, a kinship between people, or a similarity in nature between things ("like-attracts-like"). Two people living on the same floor of a building, for example, have a higher propinquity than those living on different floors, just as two people with similar political beliefs possess a higher propinquity than those whose beliefs strongly differ. Propinquity is also one of the factors, set out by Jeremy Bentham, used to measure the amount of (utilitarian) pleasure in a method known as felicific calculus.
