It blows my mind that there are people that would rather undergo major surgery (with all the risks it involves) than to start eating better.
yeah but chronic fatness is like a missing lifeskill, most of them lack the foresight and ability to plan to change.
My ex flatmate is going to have a heart attack by the time he's 40 probably, he'll smoke four joints, then get a blanket, go to the couch and watch movies while he stuffs himself with chocolate every single night till he passes out. He still thinks it's funny even though he gets totally exhausted walking up the 2 flights of stairs to our house. he knows he should change, but there is 0 effort there.
For some people a surgery is probably the scare they need I guess. However, it's also kind of.... taking a big piss on darwin even doing that surgery.
