Why are the fat twins, proud that they're fat?

[LikeABoatOnWater]

Honestly, society is going down the drain. BB should not be promoting their lifestyle choices.

SO, i like the twins, leave them alone

[RodHull]

Well to be fair there are worse things in life to be proud of. But they are probably insecure and combat it by being outwardly 'proud'

The problem is that are portraying the fact they eat so much as comedic. All these kids watching will think that its okay to be fat and will quite possibly die young.

They're repulsive.

I'm not too sure they are 'proud' to be fat..

Happy with their size possibly. Able to poke fun at themselves..but proud?

Kids young enough to be so heavily influenced like that shouldn't be watching Big Brother where there have been far worse things on display.

I have no problem with people being fat, but don't promote it to other people.

Imagine if next year someone came on the show with AIDs and pretty much everything he did related to how cool it is that he has the disease. And BTW its not that ridiculous of an analogy considering the amount of people who deliberately contract the disease each year.

Sugar and inactivity cause obesity. Obesity causes diabetes. Diabetes causes blindness.

Yeah I guess I could be reading it wrong, I just get the impression that they love that they are fat and wouldn't have it any other way.

Did you just compare a flabby young boy to someone with AIDs bragging about it?

Are you for real? :crazy:

[Withano]

lifestyle choices.

Being fat isn't always a life style choice, perhaps the twins are just making the best of themselves in a humourous way.

[Jack_]

Oh yeah talking of the '******' I'm so glad they aired that :D I was really shocked when she said it LOL I was like wait...that wasn't censored like it usually is.

Good stuff, hope they keep it up. This ain't no kids show as it had turned into at one point

[GypsyGoth]

They are big boned.

[Marsh.]

I doubt they "love" or are "proud" of their size, they were just displaying their love of food. We all have vices, theirs is food.

[rionablue]

They arent gona be fat for long with the food rations. I think they will emerge fromt he house a shadow of their former selves. From the way they were talking bout their mammys roast chicken it looks like their mammy is feeding them well lol

You're comparing Aids with being fat?

Yeah that was silly of me, they are clearly not comparable. One you can lead a full life with, the other, if serious, will kill you before your 40.

Hopefully for them, but Ive never seen anyone go into that house and lose weight.

[ThisIsNickkk]

Wow... I don't like the twins, but they're overweight, so what?

Over half the bloody population is overweight these days. Does that mean people carrying a bit of timber on them should be banished from the TV?

Stop being ridiculous. If they want to be overweight then so be it, if they are happy with their "lifestyle choice" then who are you to question it? Run along and stop being silly...

[wendywillow]

this thread is a joke, right?

[Fish_Fingers]

. And BTW its not that ridiculous of an analogy considering the amount of people who deliberately contract the disease each year.

How many people deliberately contract the disease each year? If you can, please show some evidence to support this - links to studies etc. Or, if it's something that you've just made up, let us know that too:wink:

lol this topic always comes up when we have an overweight housemate(s)...

Interesting stuff. I didn't know about that, but I'm still a little skeptical about the overall numbers, and what might be driving such people. And to me, it is in poor taste to compare such people with the overweight. However, following the overweight around with a tuba is acceptable.

I am overweight too OP and I agree with you. I am going to try and lose the weight. It isn't easy.

I'm getting really sick of these fattist threads.

the twins aren't proud to be fat, they're fat and and trying not to be negative and moany about it which if they were, I'm sure you'd be complaining.

There are people who like being fat, are proud to be fat and want to be fatter.

Also, of you're worried about overweight people on TV and children wanting to be fat then surely you'd be better trying to ban all the smokers from BB, as its arguably worse for you and unlike obesity kills those around you.

In summary, if it really bothers you so much don't watch.

Being overweight should be something people are ashamed of. Wolfie has also started the whole 'I am doing it for fat girls' crap that Josie Gibson crap. I hate the way fat people often make out that slim people are horrid, dull and shallow when in fact we just want to be healthy and refuse to apologise for maintaining a good BMI.

In addition I get p*ssed off when fat people lose weight and everyone congratulates them. How about congratulating people on remaining slim??

Hope BB doesn't cave into twins demand for food.

People should be ashamed to be fat? Well how fat do you have to be to be ashamed? 2lbs overweight? 30lbs overweight? What?

If people are fat, who cares? I do agree that not such a big deal should be made of people losing weight. On the other hand, there shouldn't be such a big deal if someone gains weight.

People ask for "normal" people in the house. Being oversight is considered "normal" now. You'd be complaining if it was all skinny models.

Unless you have underlying medical/ mental issues for weight gain there is simply no excuse for obesity. Ultimately how fat is fat, if you wonder over ones BMI. It's not rocket science, move around more, eat less and eat healthier.

The twins, Sophie and Wolfie are amongst the youngest in the house and the fattest. Their parents should be ashamed imho. Gluttony and slothe are just wrong. Jackie and Jemima are the elders and value fitness and health. What is this young generation coming to? If I were BB, if the twins whinged in DR about having to eat healthy veggie fare I'd tell them if they want to get meat then they have to exercise. Lazy pair of layabouts. Grrrr.

thats a very unfair generalization. Most overweight people will never need any such surgery and few need any more help than anyone else. Smokers and drinkers are much more responsible for clogging up the NHS.

its obviously not very good for you and yes it isnt too difficult to understand how to lose weight. I myself lost over 6 stone in the past year or so. But if people don't want to lose weight why should they have to? Everyone knows the risks.

Good post. Obviously if people are grossly overweight and medically at risk, then that's a different story, but people who are quite fit and active but carrying more weight don't deserve people jumping on their case.

I think people should be more ashamed of being rude and stupid. That seems quite acceptable, sadly.

Agreed, the twins may be overweight but they're working and are hardly leading a less than normal life. Why should they be ridiculed if they're doing the same as everyone else but just look different?

Because some people find them an easy target. And after all, everyone on the Internet is perfectly beautiful and overweight people are the last easy target. You can't be ageist, you can't be sexist... but you can criticise people if they're not the weight you think they should be.
