so basically he has a book to promote and said something a bit contentious. k.

-is fat; doesn't particularly care that much; would probably lose weight if I could afford to go on a specific diet/join a gym; will probably lose a bit anyway with uni budgets -

To me..being really underweight is just as disgusting as being really overweight. But being a walking skeleton is more accepted by society.

Me too Charlie. The thought of eating a fat person, puts me right off my grub too.

Could not agree more Vicky.. I'd say it was far more concerning and far more of a problem - for all concerned, but mostly for the individual - anorexia can kill very quickly. Obesity can take years for the same outcome.

I don't think it is actually, I think its just you can cover up a skeleton with clothes but its harder to disguise fat. If you lined people up naked I think people would generally be equally disgusted at the overweight and underweight person.

If a really really overweight person is sitting near me in a restaurant I can't eat properly. All I get is thought of being like that when I am older. But they have to be really fat.

I did say to me. Its not an opinion I expect to be shared. Being ridiculously skinny is seen as fine to most. I dont see why.

[Jords]

I love really fat people they make me feel better.

This is talking about overweight, not fat that someone perfectly fine is self-conscious about.

Same. If I'm around loads of fat people I feel good. I get so self-consious around other youths in say a shopping centre though.

Too true, both are bad for the health. Being underweight can lead to anorexia, where the body eats it's own muscle then as the body needs food, and the heart is a muscle which is very worrying for underweight anorexic people then. Fat people know they're fat, anorexic people cannot see that they are underweight a lot of the time.

Also anxiety, depression, needing love/attention, as well as certain illnesses or parents who push some children to over eat from an early age because they themselves do the same, different rates of metabolism, can all be a factor in being overweight, and I should think some probably even need counselling to feel better about themselves and an incentive to lose weight.

All those things need to be considered, so Frank Skinner is just being a heartless idiot in my opinion, picking out something he knows will get him attention. There are ways and means of getting a message across better than he has. Who made him the advocate for it all anyway? when he looks like shyte with his body.

Just my own honest opinion.

and it's always down to the sheer volume of food on that show. It's scary the amount of food that some of them eat

[Vicky.]

That said, my personal preferance in blokes...is skinny. Not really skinny like bones sticking out though, but gangly looking types

I once slept with a guy who was a tiny bit overweight(a bit being maybe a stone or so, with clothes on you couldnt even tell he was overweight tbh) and it quite repulsed me. A bit hypocritical...because Im not exactly perfect myself, buy hey-ho

The Book has many Attacks
thats his style.


All he said was we (meaning comdey people) should be able to Joke about Fat People
It helps them understand they need to get slimmer.


Its a Fair Comment
in this PC time.

He cant have been technically over weight if you couldn't see it through clothes just a little too tubby for your liking.

Oh Christ, that's just crazy, there was another one I watched and this guy was eating 3 full dinner plates of food for his dinner everyday, it was ridiculous

Well I kow I comfort eat a lot and dont really exercise a great deal bar karate. But IMO to say that the solution is to make fun of them is disgusting.

Example. "Naturally" people aren't supposed to be gay, single, anorexic or have plastic surgery. But should we take the piss out of them until THEY change.

I don't have a problem with fatty jokes. But it shouldnt be so that we learn.

IMO it's no better than that MP who said fat people like James cordon and Dawn French could not be allowed on tv as it normalises obesity.

He wasnt technically overweight really. Just...carrying a little excess baggy stomach

Thats when I realised skinny guys were my thing. It really put me off, even though there wasnt really anything wrong with him
