Lynn McAfee is "famous" in the same way that the really large lady
in that video is "fit."

They are the same person, fat basher.

For those of you just joining us here's the video we're talking about.

I am clearly a moron.

I believe that much had been established some time ago.

I watched that video again and you are clearly
right BBW.

You're also being very dense if you can't see that BBW is trolling. This has
been posted a number of times over now by the same people from the same
group, obviously looking for the same reaction that they so obviously
want!!! Somehow, this then gives them justification for being FF cos the
rest of society is so mean toward them.

When I was 320 I was afraid physical activities could lead to
serious injuries. One fall from a bike could have broken several
bones, and God knows what else.

"Fat and fit?" Maybe, fat and strong, for the moment. However,
the odds are stacked against you for things like diabetes and
other health problems.

I guess, to make my case, I should research the life expectancy
of Sumo wrestlers.

That would be interesting to hear about.

[Risk factors for mortality and mortality rate of sumo wrestlers]

[Article in Japanese]

Hoshi A, Inaba Y.

Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, Juntendo
University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.

We compared the mortality rate of sumo wrestlers with that of the
contemporaneous Japanese male population, and inferred the usefulness
of an index for predicting longevity in sumo wrestlers. The
standardized mortality ratios (SMR) for sumo wrestlers were very high
in each period, and also high for ages from 35 to 74. Cox's
proportional hazards model analysis revealed that the variables in
"nyuumaku" entry year and BMI were statistically significant (p
0.05) factors in mortality. In the survival curves, the lower BMI
group had good life expectancy compared with the higher BMI group. In
conclusion, the higher rate of mortality in sumo wrestlers seems to be
due to the markedly higher rate of mortality from 35 to 74 years old.
In sumo wrestlers, also, this study provides evidence that the higher
overweight groups have substantially higher risks for mortality.

This is a study that was funded by the diet industry and the data was
twisted for the desired outcome. Sumo wrestlers, being fat and fit,
have a very high life expectancy.

I'm going to answer this as though it is not a troll post.

There is hardly any diet industry in Japan - few of them need it.
Asians tend to have a very strong societal bias against fat, and tend
to eat less, and especially less sugar and fat. Since sumo wrestlers
are considered athletes, it'd be like the diet industry psying for
studies to show that power lifters have a shorter life expenctancy the
more body fat they have. BTW, I believe that is true (anyone from MFW
know more about that?).

I'd suspect that a 40 BMI sumo wrestler would have a better life
expectancy than a BMI 40 couch potato, but that's not what they were
studying.

I realize that every time that there is a cross post to
soc.support.fat-acceptance that someone is trolling. I usually try
and stay out of the fray, but this particular topic really hit a
nerve. I am related to more than my share of people that weigh 300+
lbs., and so it is somewhat heartbreaking to me to see Lynn McAfee and
her ilk portrayed as some sort of fitness goal. Her message would be
perfectly appropriate for someone that is so unfit that they can't get
exercise standing up, but the *real* goal shouldn't be the squalid
half-life that you get when you can barely walk around town. The real
goal should be to be actually fit.

I know I am almost certainly being trolled, but I can't help but think
that the topic is worth talking about anyhow. I know that the whole
subject makes me look idealistic and naive, but to a certain extent
that's who I am .

Besides, I like writing about this stuff, and it definitely helps
motivate me to step up my own fitness efforts. To a certain extent it
could probably be argued that I am trolling BBW.

Congratulations. You can maintain your balance on an inherently
unstable platform, and perform enough physical activity to not fall
over. Just like a toddler.

Claimg being able to rid e abik for a few miles as being a sign of
health and fitness shows how distorted your world view is - such an
acheivement is akin to scratching a scab and claim to be an othopeadic
surgeon.

Ditto. And I'm delighted that I never did have the "willpower"
to stay on a diet for long; I'd probably be even fatter today if I did.

I see fat people walking all the time and they are not out of breath or in a
scooter.

Your standard of fitness is really low. Riding your bike two miles is
nothing unless it's all up a steep hill. I jump on my bike and do
twenty mile rides several times a year, and I'm not even all that
tired when I'm done, and I'm in not in great shape.

Walking without loosing your breath just means you don't need medical
treatment.

I see fat people walking all the time and they are not out of breath or in a
scooter. I think the media and the helthcare system want the world to
believe being fat is a handicap and it isn't. Some extra weight doesn't hurt
at all as long as you are mobile and able to do what you want. Enough of the
negativity.

Depends on age. If you are overweight and 85 years old and not out of
breath and able to ride a bike 2 miles, that might be OK to be
overweight, but if you are 25, you should be able to ride 50 miles or
more at a good pace. Otherwise you are struggling and when you do get
older it will catch up with you. Denial is part of being overweight
for lots of folks. dkw
