Eventually you too will get fat and/or have health problems and you just might find yourself in a predicament where even you cannot afford the cost of medications seeing how ridiculous the costs are ballooning.

This is not true, i have survived 20 yeras of everquest without gaining weight and can survive another 40 years of life without it either.

I know its hard to believe that a member of the community isnt fat, but look at sektors, he weighs 400lbs but from the outside, it looks like he'd only weigh about 155 (If you catch my drift)

But seriously if even a hard core loser like him can shed weight. Anyone can.

Americans are busy. We work more hours per week than any other worker among the advanced western democracies. So a lot of times they have to eat out (until they have a very organized home life and can pack their own food). The vast majority of that food is in a race to the bottom to taste good.

What's the best way to make things taste good? Well putting a bunch of butter on the veggies will help. Maybe a ton of sugar and MSG in the sauce will get critics raving. Some kind of heavy carb on the side is usually the options like sour dough bread or a big ass russet potato (nice and buttery too). That is -- if your not just having french fries like everyone else does these days.

Everyone is doing it. Too many young people and ectomorphs get away with this -- and the rest just get fat or are construction workers that do lots of heavy physical work (even then some get fat). So they have no visible reason not to order the fries until their doctor insists they are dying.

Fries are fucking delicious. They are potatos fried in oil with salt -- amazing. All you need is stuff with sugar to dip them in like ketchup and complete that primal desire to seek fat, salt, sugar, in a solidly filling potato. It keeps coming back because there is no nutrition or fiber in them.

People are too weak and stupid to say no to that. Right now there is probably some guy planing to get fries having read that. Maybe fries should be illegal. Just during lunchtime. Bars can sell them or something.

Don't get me started on how fucked up donuts are. Are we really going basically state-sponsor donuts by providing them next to the cofee at every damn government office in America? These damn things kill -- they are the worst of the worst health-wise and they probably put your workforce in a food coma before 5.

But you do care. You even said if they were someone you loved or as you put it, "liked" you'd even loan them money to help them with their medical costs.

that was a hypothetical answer to a hypothetical question you gave me about a family member being fat.

Im talkn strangers. I could care less if a stranger is sick.

I also wouldnt lend them money.

but if they were my family that is a different story.

However, even they dont get a pass just because. They might be better off dead IMO.

I think it's easy to write such things like this, especially if you never had a loved one in such a position, or you yourself have always been fortunate enough to not be in such a bind.

Over time chances are such trials may come your way, I hope you fair well if you have to face such situations regarding medical expenses, health crisis, etc.

I realize you use hyperbole at times to make your points, but a lot of what you write is not very realistic concerning other people.

I think you apply your own personal experiences to how you think things are or should be in your own mind, when that's simply not understanding the world around you. This gives the appearance you lack empathy, but I feel this is not the case. I think you just lack experience and the wisdom that comes with such experiences.
