More than one-third of United States adults are “obese”. Every street you walk down and every store you enter has someone who is “overweight” in it. The number of people who are becoming this way in the U.S. is increasing exponentially. Soon the number of “fat” people will outweigh the inhuman, skinny improbabilities. This is they way people should be. Why is it that it takes so much effort to be skinny, but by doing nothing we gain weight? Obesity is natural. It is a sign of wealth, beauty, and self-fulfillment. Why conform to what the patriarch-fueled media and consumer-based America idealizes as a “normal” body which is obviously unrealistic? I vote to encourage people to eat like Americans instead of eating plants like primitive cavemen.
America has always been ahead of the rest of the world. As the superpower of the world it is time we to take a stand. For too long we have been ashamed of our mark of wealth and status. As jealous countries criticize our bodily advancement, we have been creating useless programs to promote eating out dated food and doing forced physical activity. It is time for us to be proud again. Every pound we gain is a pound for freedom. The more we have, the more there is to love.
The world is mechanizing, and in a decade many physical jobs will be done by machines. Why should we as a people be deprived of screen time in order to “play” outside, doing strenuous activity we are against? We should be inside spending more time on our screens so we can learn to utilize the technology we will use for the rest of our lives.
The human race is evolving. Our weight gain protects us from diseases. According to a study by the CDC, and reported on The Journal of the American Medical Association, “overweight” people are 6% less likely to die from any cause. Who’s to say what is “healthy?” We store fat for a reason. The more energy our body has, the better off we are.
I dream of the day when every adult in the world is 300 pounds; from the Burger King line in Alabama to the smallest village in the jungles of Africa. There will be no more starvation. We will give up on torturing our bodies with painful exercise. We will all live in a utopia of guilt free pleasure, where everyone is happy of one another’s bodies.
Skinny people will become weird and ostracized after they have oppressed the plump for centuries. Their way of living is unnatural and frankly, it’s unhealthy. Why are they viewed as attractive? It is unfair. Large people shouldn’t have to work to obtain a fit body that the majority of people find attractive. The skinnies should work to change what they are attracted to because soon those “large” people will be the only options.
As the world’s population grows more obese, more people will begin to see how this is the natural way of life. No longer will people spend countless hours trying to slim the body fat they so desperately need, and instead they can turn their attention to more important things in life. Is it a coincidence that in the movie WALL•E, the space-faring humans are all obese? No, they were able to achieve space travel so quickly because they didn’t spend time worrying about being called fat in negative and derogatory ways. Simply, they were happy the way they were, and were thus able to push the envelope of scientific discovery much faster. Accepting obesity will be, as the first of many space explorers said, “one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind.”
Obesity has perks across the board, from health benefits to ways it can increase technological developments. I look forward to the day where magazines no longer glorify the skin and bones models and superstars, but instead begin to publish pictures of real people, rolls and all. I am against those who believe that because they have no fat makes them healthier individuals. I have a dream that my future children live in a nation where they will not be judged by their time to run a mile, but by the content of their character. I am pro-obesity.
