Obesity is an addiction that can easily be cured. Anarexia is usually wrist cutting-tier and is done for the endorphin rush or due to mental illness.

Probably anorexic. Obese people can survive more physical battery, they get things handed to them all the time (free scooter rides, they can even skip lines at Disney), women are far less judgmental of them, they can last longer without food, they have an acceptance movement, regular actions like sitting down are comfortable to them, they don't end up with psychiatric hospitalizations for their issues, they get TV shows made about them, people aren't afraid to talk about losing weight without getting flak for it (anorexics are often cast aside because "gaining weight is easy"), they have significantly less serious mental symptoms, obesity has historically been considered upper class, and they're all-around less depressing to look at.

ana girls are hot, fatties are just fatties.

plus anorexic chicks are cheaper to feed.

where as fatties are hungry ever minute of the day.

You can pick up anorexic girls and shove balls deep. Fat people are disgusting to even look at.

I'd rather deal with being a fatty then being a edgy fuckwad

No I wouldn't, I'd call the graveyard.

Just in the USA alone - how many people die from anorexia annually? IIRC, it's less than one hundred.

How many people die from obesity annually? Hundreds of thousands.

Case closed - we need to encourage anorexia.

>>124739

More common != more dangerous. I wouldn't be surprised if a far higher percentage of obese people got away with it than anorexics. It's not a fair comparison to use annual deaths when there are over 100 million obese people in this country and very few anorexics.

>>124743

It just said 'worse' not 'dangerous'. 100 million obese people is worse than a few thousand anorexics.

And I mean way way way worse. Like the worstest.

>>125577

As an epidemic in this country, I agree that obesity is worse. But for the individual, I would say anorexia is worse because the risk of death is higher and it's a legitimate mental disorder that is often comorbid with other issues, whereas obesity is just a lack of self control and dietary education.

> Try and prove it

< The Atlantic magazine has reported that for every additional pound of passenger lard weight, the United States uses up another 39 million gallons of fuel each year. A more frightening figure is that Americans consume at least a billion gallons more fuel every year than they would have if people were as trim as they were in 1960.

No one is saying that anorexia isn't bad but obesity is a waste of resources, time, and money on a scale that humans really haven't achieved before.

>>125639

More or less this. Obesity is fucking disgusting and I'd take an anorexic over a fat chick any day, but likewise, Anorexia is probably a worse ailment since fatties just need to stop fucking eating.

Airlines are a shit and need to be replaced anyways in most cases instead of jewing over their customers (fuck airports, the only decent one in my experience is Denver and even then the word "Decent" is used loosely), but fatties still waste a shit ton of resources.

>>125578

I even defended your ass too when they were calling to ban it. ;_;

I feel like banging an anorexic girl just so i can put an IV on her while she sleeps and see her freak out when she wakes up fatter

>>125651

That's fucked up man

>>125651

Gave me a good chuckle.

>>125654

Fag.

Imagine what would happen if you hit it's leg with a baseball bat.

obese here- I'd rather be anorexic. I've seen skellies of both genders in happy relationships with attractive partners, but I've never seen a fat person with anybody but another miserable, permanently scowling fat person. Obviously anorexia is more socially acceptable and less crippling. And if they want to be "cured" then gaining weight is much easier than losing it.

If there's a nuclear holocaust, only the people far away from major cities will survive. And you know what's in the middle of nowhere? A shitload of fat rednecks.

>Tfw if you ever got stranded in the cold wilderness, you wouldn't survive for months on your own body fat the same way a hambeast would

Obesity is vastly worse.

The fattest of the fat are killing themselves in the worst way possible, they're going to die in horrible pain as sugar turns their blood in a soup of fucking liquid razors. Diabetic Ketoacidosis is some scary fucking shit.

Obesity makes people stupid, fat clogs up their arteries and veins, reducing blood flow to the brain, because of this, they opt to take the path of least resistance, which is why fat acceptance exists, why bother exercising when you can "love your body" and changing fucking nothing else?

obesity is also an economical drain, as more money is being spent on food, money that could be put to use for other things if they weren't eating it away. Or all the money spent of scooters because they've eaten themselves into physically being unable to fucking walk, or spent on medical bills for all the pills, surgery, and broken nurse backs.

death is not a cure for obesity either, instead of nurses, it's EMTs and the fire department carrying them. Fat coffins are more expensive than thin coffins, and so are all the other funeral expenses. Dead fat people are fucking fire-hazards, and crematoriums have to be extra-careful around the super-fats lest their fucking entire building goes up in smoke thanks to a 600lb'er.

and all that fat that could be used as biodiesel or other sources of recycling, can't be collected, because the families of dead people throw shitfits on "the sanctity of the body of their loved ones" when there's hardly anything sanctimonious about eating yourself to death.

I hate being fat,but I will be rid of it.

Anorexia?

someone starving themselves to death because they're absolutely terrified of becoming the above, especially if the above is one of the beings that brought them into this world.

both cases are a very sad state of affairs.

>Obese people can survive more physical battery

>they can last longer without food

>regular actions like sitting down are comfortable to them

These are functionality-type arguments. The points made here aren't really so heavy compared to the more social points.

>they get things handed to them all the time

Pity.

>women are far less judgmental of them

Bigotry of low expectatoins

>they have an acceptance movement

One which isn't taken seriously by anyone of worth.

>they don't end up with psychiatric hospitalizations for their issues

Obesity doesn't really overlap with many severe psychological problems in the way anorexia does

>they get TV shows made about them

So it's good that they're the freaks in the freak show?

>people aren't afraid to talk about losing weight without getting flak for it (anorexics are often cast aside because "gaining weight is easy")

I don't understand your point here. It only makes sense if what you meant to type was that people are afraid to talk about losing weight because they might get flak for it. The obese are protected and the anorexics are seen as lazy.

>they have significantly less serious mental problems

In exchange for what?

>obesity has historically been considered upper class

Smoking used to be something only the upper class did. Then smoking became available to everyone and now the upper class are health-freaks meanwhile. obesity and smoking have now become the new signifiers poverty. Pale skin was valued as well. Now it's seen as a symptom of poor health and no social life. People actively get tans now.

>and they're all-around less depressing to look at

You think people prefer looking at obese people than anorexic people? Where the hell do you live?

is literally easier to get to normal weight if you're a stick than if you're a whale.
