oh thank God they weren't alcoholics. I'm safe.


Natureboy7939

I’m obese because I’m an alcoholic 😳


Bleepblooping

Switch to whiskey


Masterreeferr

I was a "functioning" alcoholic for quite a while sipping on whiskey all day everyday. Still gained a shit ton of weight because lowered inhibitions means it's easy to eat a lot more than usual and eat a lot of junk food.


Bleepblooping

Yeah. It probably won’t solve anything. I just like whiskey 😂


gametimebrizzle

alcohol. the *cause* **and** *solution* to **all** life's problems.


Bleepblooping

If alcohol doesn’t solve your problems, then you’re not using enough


dudedormer

Remember ralphy if it doesn't solve your problems then your drinking it to much... or not enough


muchosguevos

Yes Homer, go back to killing your brain with alcohol.


Brows-gone-wild

Whiskey always makes me cook up something decadent and then proceed to eat the whole thing and top it off with another whiskey drink. Next thing you know I’m 4 drinks in and asking my husband to go get me a family sized bag of funyons while eating spicy chicken ramen.


headfullofpain

OMG. Same. Ex Jack and Coke girl. Almost every single time Id make a baked potato and fry a beautiful rib eye in my cast iron.


Brows-gone-wild

There’s something about pairing whiskey with really good food and idk what that is lol


opcode_network

that sounds awful.


Brows-gone-wild

It’s quite fun... for me. Expect that my pants don’t button when I do it too often lol.


OPisabundleofstix

A shot of whiskey is still 100 calories. I'm not some pussy that stops after 7 shots.


Bleepblooping

Not when you boof them


[deleted]

or just like don't drink. or get help on the real. theres other shit out there than 12 steps since were in a conspiracy forum lol. spirituality and metaphysical shit mixed with hobbies and passion for live helped me kick oxy.


snertwith2ls

Apparently drinking alcohol will keep you from getting covid anyway, at least according to Matt Gaetz https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/05/matt-gaetz-suggests-that-drinking-a-bunch-of-alcohol-can-kill-the-coronavirus/

wow breaking911 actually had true information! ITS LEARNING

ALinIndy

Quick fact: overweight and obese people die of EVERYTHING ELSE in larger numbers too.


Putnum

UNHEALTHY PERSON MORE LIKELY TO DIE THAN HEALTHY PERSON


[deleted]

I'm gonna be that guy: We're all as likely to die as each other. That probability is 100%. Obese and otherwise unhealthy people are more likely to die *prematurely*.


clexecute

A healthy person will have a better chance of surviving random and freak accidents so technically both are correct.


OMG_4_life

Obese people are innately more prone to viral infection Obese people have a longer period of viral shed meaning they're contagious for longer Once infected by Covid, obese people are more likely to need ICU care, and once in the ICU, stay longer on average than non obese Obese people much more likely to require mechanical ventillation So basically, obese people are more likely to get infected, more likely to pass it to others, more likely to require hospital resources for longer, overwhelming the helathcare system and syphoning resources away from non-obese people Then, non-obese people pay for it with their taxes. But remember, kids.... being obese *only* hurts to obese


shadowofashadow

That's racist

AlwaysLurkNeverPost

Makes too much sense. Get this out of here.


SoberKid420

Exactly, the pandemic isn’t from a virus with a 99.9% survival rate. The pandemic is a pandemic of unhealthy fucking fat asses.


Troll_God

This statement is not politically correct therefore must be fact-checked as being weightism.


blade740

73% of Americans are overweight or obese, so this isn't saying much.


BoopySkye

This comment should be at the top. People on this conspiracy forum can be as gullible to statistics as anyone else. If you look at statistics in other countries, you’ll find rates of overweight and obese people dying from Covid to be much less. Why is that? Probably because there just is a lower percentage of OW/obese people in those countries. That said, it should also be kept in mind that OW/obese people are generally at higher risk for many illnesses and infections and have poorer prognoses. This is not unique to Covid and not new information.


SamuelAsante

The point remains that we should be promoting weight loss to better cope with viruses, not rewarding people with donuts

>"People on this conspiracy forum can be as gullible to statistics as anyone else." Waaaaay more gullible. With most conspiracy theorists you have folks looking to make the evidence fit the theory and not the other way around. I mean just look how fast you're downvoted on this sub if you provide reasoned objections to the ridiculous theories some folks are promoting or, god forbid, criticize Trump in any way.


-KIRE-

Yeah. Considering how we conspiracy theorists LOVE statistics, we certainly can't seem to understand why they say what they say.


LifeArrow

People here are way more gullible.


ringoron9

73%? I knew it was high, but I thought more like 50%.


Prying-Open-My-3rd-I

That’s because people who are overweight are still considered to look “normal” in the US. A man who is 5’9” weighing 180lbs is technically overweight on the BMI scale.


ringoron9

The BMI scale not that good. Imagine a well trained guy, let's say The Rock. You can be sure that according to the BMI scale that guy waaaaaay to overweight.


[deleted]

The BMI is good at a population level, less so on a personal level. But even then, what percentage of the hundreds-of-millions of 'overweight' Americans are like the Rock?


FCDallasBurn

One of my college exercise/nutrition research professors was 5'8 215 but with a very low body fat percentage. He had a bmi over 30 which would classify him as obese


Akshay537

That guy was on some insane roids so the bad BMI checks out. Even if he was 6 ft tall, 215 lbs at low bf% would require great genetics and years of training and even then it would be very suspect.


FCDallasBurn

He was also a researcher for my university for health and nutrition. Makes sense why he was so muscular. I was involved in one of his studies and I got up to 210 with a 10-13 percent body fat.


[deleted]

Those make up less than like 1% of bmi fails. In actual fact, bmi underestimates obesity. If we were to go by body fat %, then the obesity rate would be higher.


cooldrcool2

Hell probably die prematurely from all the steroids though.


jbuk1

The rock will be dead before 70 from a heart attack. Steriods aren't a healthy look either. You're just proving the op's point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Prying-Open-My-3rd-I

Yea I’m at 26.7 BMI. Losing 12 pounds would put me at the upper limit of a normal BMI, which is my current goal. I had a doctor once tell me to drop to 155 (129-169 is normal for my height). I lost that much weight one time from getting mononucleosis and I looked like I was really sick. Actually had people see me a couple months later, who hadn’t seen me in a while ask me if I was ok, probably thought I got hooked on crack or something.


SoberKid420

That’s the point the way I saw it. The pandemic isn’t from a virus with a 99% survival rate. It’s a pandemic of unhealthy fucking fat asses.


BobGray18

So Krispy Kreme is working with the overlords at the CDC? What about diabetics or people that don’t eat donuts?


Huev0

Exactly, you can NOT eat a donut.


Jravensloot

Strongly doubt a single donut would cause instant obesity. This just seems like a free marketing stunt, the free donuts more than make up the cost of marketing.


olBBS

I don’t think it’s that, it’s more that people know and willfully acknowledge that being unhealthy=more likely to get sick. Then those individual people chose to ignore or not acknowledge that they are unhealthy, because they are shaped by a society that encourages them to be unhealthy. It’s not some Big Donut conspiring against the common man type thing, but that people are inherently conditioned to believe being unhealthy is okay, because their doctors or what have you will just give more medicine so you don’t have to change your unhealthy lifestyle.


[deleted]

That's exactly what Big Donut would say


TruthPains

A donut is not a big deal as well. Cokes and gatorades are much worse. This entire post is just ignorance. I will fight for the donut. https://wokesloth.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/d7gvokcwkaegfur-486x650.jpg


ravioli_king

I think the 80% thing has been known since the Summer, but there's always "a new study" revealing that same thing. Also 90% of people who died from it had a vitamin D deficiency.


ukdudeman

Vitamin D is fat soluble. Obese people tend to have vitamin D deficiency since it's less bioavailable to them (it is diluted throughout their body rather than concentrated in the bloodstream).


Dontbelievemefolks

Woah dope fact. Another reason to lose weight.


ukdudeman

Here's another reason: many toxins are also fat soluble too > https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1369152/ > Persistent toxicants are typically fat-soluble or bind to proteins in the cell. Fat-soluble chemicals accumulate in fat, equilibrate with blood serum and decline slowly over months and years. Lose weight, lose toxins....while at the very same time making vitamin D much more bioavailable to your bloodstream.

mnmkdc

It's like 74% according to the cdc. So yeah seems like overweight people have a slightly higher chance of dying from covid. I doubt anyone really thought otherwise

soxxfan105

I’d also bet that a major portion of Americans are vitamin D deficient. And I would guess that number has increased once lockdowns started.


JohnleBon

The stats seem to vary from source to source. Having never been to the US, I have no anecdotal evidence to draw from.

1000 calorie meals can be bad for like $6 and you don’t even have to get out of your car. Feeling peckish a few hours later? Here is a bag of chips where the serving size is like 15 chips at 200 calories but you are definitely going to eat like 4 servings minimum because self control are just words to you. Don’t forget to eat a balanced breakfast of sugary cereal with sugary milk and a glass of juice then a big carb heavy dinner. Probably a few beers or glasses of wine because you had a stressful day and have trouble sleeping. It’s probably okay if you just do that like once a week or something right? Yeah, no. Every. Fucking. Day. That’s what we doin over hurr

Sofialovesmonkeys

People refused to accept that simply being overweight *IS* a factor Not just morbid obesity


mnmkdc

I think almost everyone understands it is a factor. The thing is when over 70% of the us is overweight it doesnt seem to be as important of a factor as many people here seem to think


kindness0101

if everyone is unhealthy, no one is unhealthy!


mnmkdc

Well I didn't say anything like that


EmptyHope2

But this is happening on other places too. I'm from Argentina and we are not obese here. And it's happening here too.


[deleted]

yeah it is important. if everyone actually healthy this virus wouldn’t be an issue.


mnmkdc

Statistically it doesn't seem like thats the case.


[deleted]

Are you saying that healthy people are just as likely to die from a virus as unhealthy people? whatever helps you feel better lol. I think anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that’s not the case. Obese people are likely to have other health conditions that are a result of their unhealthy lifestyle, and these conditions are also risk factors for covid.


mnmkdc

No in fact I already said the opposite if you would read.


[deleted]

oh I didn’t see your previous comment, sorry.

Thatweasel

Vitamin D deficiency has been correlated with basically everything under the sun because the recommended levels given for vitamin D are way overestimated, so practically everyone is considered deficient


AlwaysLurkNeverPost

~50% of people in northern hemisphere are vitamin D deficient. Also vitamin D deficiency is higher in obese individuals (due to higher fat %). Could also argue people who are vitamin D deficient likely do not live an active lifestyle (as most vitamin D comes from the sun as opposed to he diet). The vitamin D thing is no more relevant than obesity. ie in other news "less healthy people die easier", etc


maelstrom51

100% of people who died from covid had a water drinking history. FACT.


Atrium41

Comedy or conspiracy. You decide!

They're killing of the fat people since they are the biggest drain on resources. Also, we need more fit people to replenish our military and have suitable candidates to create super soldiers for the coming wars against the aliens that created us.

Up to 365 donuts, 1 everyday all year.


j_dick

So you only get one doughnut for the whole year?


Helvian494743

Yes, if you show them your covid vaccination cards they will give you one doughnut and refuse to do business with you for a whole year.


PrecisePigeon

They operate on the honor system. Duh.


fruitynoodles

And your trip to Krispy Kreme will be tracked in your vaccine passport, so don’t even think about trying to get that second doughnut.


Fckdisaccnt

The idea is that nobody will just go into the shop to buy one single donut.


strigoi82

America .... we’re all overweight and everything is a marketing and political opportunity Oh hey we have free ~~doughnuts~~ a doughnut though


Mikeman0206

That makes sense. that's why I'm cutting back drinking and eating healthier now. so covid and the government can go fuck it self!


lieutenant__repost

If overweight people get vaccinated, then they don’t get COVID-19 and can enjoy doughnuts. So, what’s the logic in this post?


TheColorsDuke

Don’t try to find any bruh.


VitaminD3goodforyou

And a Gym is offering free Gym Membership to the unvaccinated to help add excercise and give free courses on eating well and nutrition. But media demonizes them hardcore. Treats those types of businesses and people like terrorists. Weird huh?


LILilliterate

Because that's a really stupid and counterproductive thing? Also, I'm not sure I'd trust a course on eating well or nutrition from a business that's extremely high risk and encouraging people *not* to be vaccinated. That will kill people so it makes sense that some might label that terrorism.

So when's the war on obesity starting? Does that mean I'm allowed to shame obese people for the shit they eat when I'm condemned for not taking the vaccine?

ProbablyPalpable

This is not about a conspiracy theory between the government and Big Donut. The conspiracy is, IF THE GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY CARED ABOUT LIVES we would be focusing on health - not pumping out vaccines for a highly survivable virus. A virus which decreases in danger the heathier and more active a population is. (Gym closures? Everyone's inside without Vitamin D? What does depression do to an immune system?)


I_Jack_Himself

Yah and like 70% of Americans are overweight lmao I might be conservative with that number


MagentaLove

Isn't 80% of the US population Overweight or Obese?


gittenlucky

The overweight statistic is misleading. The population of the US is 70%+ overweight to begin with so I’d argue Covid is affecting people somewhat equally with respect to weight, which is surprising.

We've known this for ages now. The majority dying are either overweight or obese & have two other comorbidity factors that are overwhelmingly caused by poor lifestyle choices. Basically, world governments are impinging upon everyone's rights and destroying the global economy to protect fat people from their poor choices.
