FATphobia & CoVid 19

COVID-19 Will Fatphobia Cause Eugenics?


Well, yeah ...

The last time I had a heavy cold, it was the year 2017. I don't think I have felt as bad for a long time. And much of the symptoms were exacerbated by being very overweight. There is a good likelihood that I will fall sick this year with similar symptoms. But, the fact that I have tried to lose weight for the last few months will likely see that the symptoms I get from any potential cold will not be severe.

I seriously doubt that any excess weight actually assists any virus... most such don't like heat, and fat is guaranteed to make a hotter environment... viruses prefer a warm and moist environment but are severely restricted in their temperature range - which is why I raised doubt that cold clear surfaces would support Corona longer than porous and relatively warm surfaces...

There is a lot of disinformation going around about this bug...

I'd advise a very hot bath if you feel rough, lie there for half an hour or so - and then hit the bed with an extra layer of blanket... drink hot lemon water prepared from fresh lemons and add honey at lukewarm since honey is a natural anti-biotic, but don't boil it since that kills the Vitamin C, and wrap up warm until symptoms abate.

I'd suggest that many of those who died, being older, simply did not remember these basic rules.

Forget about any vaccine - that would take years to produce and viruses are notoriously hard to vaccinate against.

Fairly common experience that the more excess weight I have, the more likely I will suffer through a cold or influenza. It does not make a difference about whether I catch the virus or not. But, excess weight does make a difference whether I get over the virus quickly and without much suffering.

I would go through a fat phase and catch a cold. Usually, I would lose up to 10kg and feel very poorly until the recovery phase. My cardiovascular system would be much better off to get over a cold inside a few days if I was fit.

Being FAT is not a total non-healthy factor.
Many peoples around the world near the Polar Regions and the Polynesians found FAT a benefit to their survival.
Polar peoples or living among high altitude mountain ranges had FAT as an insulation from the cold and a reserve when times of food scarcity or severe weather to hunt.
The Polynesians used it to sustain their vastly long distances to 'find' Islands by the ripples of the waves bouncing off them like rain drops.
When Sailors from the Whaling era's found themselves adrift in life-boats for want of Whales sinking their ships... like the factual Moby Dick - the 80ft white Sperm whale that smashed the Whaling Vessel 'Essex' and the crews were left in life boats for a record 93 days - where cannibalism upon the dead was stripped to the bone. The Negroes would die first from hunger because they lack body fat, then the Caucasians (unless they have the Neanderthal gene) and finally Polynesians. Wether some got too hungry and sped up the food processing line by murdering another crew member days before he is due to die naturally?

Body Builders who showcase for Mr Universe titles have nearly 0% of body fat for performance.
Get them to do a job like Removaling though and they will 'puff out' in a few hours for lack of 'oil' (FAT) to burn, let alone not being able to put the weight up and down like reps, for want of lifting the weight continuously until it gets to the truck.

FAT is good for you, if you have the knowledge to understand how much you actually need.
The double-edge of the sword is that Fat can also hinder. A FAT person in a very hot part of the world would find it tough going to some degree, even when supported by financial comforting.

But we are programmed to see the negative by the Media, like a failure to see the benefit and the knowledge that comes with it. That's why they call him the FAT ORANGE MAN - to racially and physically degrade him.

Excessive FAT that becomes a hinderance rather than a help can be to blame for many things. It's just the 'routine' a person puts on themselves to excessively consume and be inactive as a defiance to the fact that they have to run by a social 'routine' inflicted upon them. Just one of many reasons as to why FAT can be to blame.

So step into this with BOTH sides of the FAT.
Draining the Crust of all that lubricating OIL that makes the Plates move around the world smoother and with less grinding and quaking, just to poison the atmosphere with a lyposuction.

Polynesian people get fat because they have a poor diet. There are videos out there that state that after WW2 ended, the GIs left cans of supplies behind that the locals started eating. The supplies became part of their diet in some way, in addition to their traditional diets. Over time, fast food was introduced to the South Pacific and obesity rates among Polynesians just skyrocketed.

You could cite the need to store a lot of fat to be able to do long journeys over the Pacific. But, I do not know of any obese marathon runners.

And how many fat Scandanavians do you know? I lived in a student accommodation, years ago. We had Swedish and German girls living in the units nearby. Their sunbaking on their back lawns, that I somehow noticed, meant that I saw that they had no signs of winter fat.

The Polynesians are susceptible to obesity due to 800+ years of conditioning to 'store' fat for the long voyages between islands from Asia. A Big Mac & Coca Cola kinda accelerate that conditioning. A case of not knowing when to stop.

They don't have fast food. They have the same thing, made slowly, without the taste, and a few hours later than when they were supposed to have it ready.

Mutton flaps for example are popular in Tonga. It is cheaper than KFC. It's basically breast - the low quality end of ribs, very fatty. Usually fried with taro root, which is a bit like potato, but without the flavour or texture. Fish is a traditional food, but you are lucky to see anything approaching 1 foot long within swimming distance of the island.

KFC is a status symbol, but they mostly can't get it. People fill their carry-on luggage with it when flying home.

I always thought Polynesians were naturally a large build...they like looking like that it may be sexy to them...

we have no right to judge any other group..and call them FAT...look at the way they play football they outclass everyone they are big strong and fast..

They're probably big due more to warfare than sailing.
