Being gamey a riskyger swerve Daniel Gutierrez English 1430, Fall 2010, Section 02 Professor A. Hepner October 14th, 2010 Daniel Gutierrez A. Hepner ENG 1300-01 October 14th, 2010 Being Fat a Big Issue Being plump out is one of the biggest issues lately. Our lodge has cr preyed a stereotype of how tidy sum should appear and it is non scarcely a fat boy/girl. People who are fat have suffered every day for how they look and many times our society ignores fat massess feelings.Obese mountain have been suffering stamp and discrimination for be fat, even though roughlytimes it is a disease or compulsive consume (eating disorder) that makes them fat, there are also some irresponsible cases of eating unhealthily and it not working out. Obese population today tend to be discriminated for being fat in our society. Overweight people are not different to us they are people homogeneous you and me, for that reason we should not judge them. They are naval division of our society and they deserve respect and understanding. Ms.Claudia Gomez said, It is hard for us when I take the bus and everybody looking us like if we are different or if we are funny, they dont see how painful it is. In addition, there are some studies to show that depression can be responsible for grueling especially in women (Overweight and Depression). Moreover, some obese people have eating disorder like compulsive overeating. irresponsible overeating is an addiction to food in big quantities. People suffering compulsive overeating utilize to eat to hide their emotions, to avoid what they feel inside or their life problems.As Susie Orbach said in her es express, Fat as a Feminist Issue, Women suffering from the problem of compulsive eating endure double fretfulness feeling out of step with the rest of society, and believing that it is all their accept fault. (201) Overweight people have a disease which means people having extra body weight from muscle, bone and fat (What are Overw eight and Obesity). There are some options to lose weight such as surgery, diets by a nutritionist, exercise and some medicines. According to Medline Plus one of the common options for very obese people is the Gastric by Pass Surgery.After this surgery the patients will not be capable of eating like they ate before. This is an alternative to lose weight faster but also the patients have to follow a diet and do exercise (Gastric rotate Surgery). Furthermore, obese people have not been practicing healthy habits. The more or less common unhealthy habits among overweight people are they do not do exercise, they eat in addition frequently, usually eat more than one time at the same meal, they stay a behavior from lightest activities (like wasting disease the stairs or walk a little), and they eat when they are not truly hungry (Frisch).Likewise, overweight people might be more responsible. Everybody knows what we can do or what we cant. If I know that Im gaining weight, I also know t hat I have to take care of what I eat and do exercise. But many obese people know that they are fat and they politic eat unhealthy food and also they do not do exercise. I think this is incident because we like to blame the circumstances (depression, divorce, childhood, etc). But at the same time they also know that being overweight may not be their fault but they are responsible to remain so, because what we do is our choice.Even though there are many advertisements that encourage us to eat unhealthy, nobody is forcing us to eat that food. Also you are the only one who can make the simple decision of taking the face lifting or go up stairs. Being obese or overweight is an irresponsible act that makes people sick and this affects everybody because this is a public health problem that should not be. In his essay, What You Eat Is Your Business, Radley Balko maintains that, the best way to alleviate the obesity public health crisis is to remove obesity from the realm of public healt h (157). As he said, here some people would probably say that people should be responsible with their own health because we are the only ones who make the choice of living healthy or not. On the early(a) hand, some fat people are proud of how they are. Mr. Alvarado who is weighting around 310 pounds describes himself as a big man and he said, I dont feel bad because Im fat, I am happy how I am, a big man. Im comfortable with my weight, I am healthy and I dont want to change because the society says that people should be thin. In my opinion, over the years and following the bad habits that he has, I am not sure if he is going to be healthy. He maybe is proud of how he is but if he does not climb up to eat healthy and do exercise, he is going to see the consequences in a few years. In conclusion, being obese or overweight is an issue but it is also a disease. Although, it is unhealthy and unsightly, the hardest is some of them feel like they cannot fit in our society. In my opinion, we should not judge them we should help them to make the chasten decision to have a healthy life and also we have to change the stereotype that the society has showed us.Also, I used to think all obese people were unhappy to be fat. But my late(a) researches show me that some obese people simply do not care what people say about them and they are happy how they are.
