Quoting zeytinne

İf because of an illness  you get fat its not right to throw you out like a garbage.

 

 They don´t throw them out... They will work for the company, but on the ground, no longer in the airplane. It has a lot to do with safety in the airplane.

 Not many people get fat because of an illness.... most get fat because they eat to much.  I don´t know about other countries, but in the UK you could not get sacked because you are too fat to be in the airplane but you would be moved to other duties.  We have very strict employment laws, equality laws and discrimination laws - in fact we have a law for most things {#emotions_dlg.lol_fast}

Slightly off-topic but i find is strange how obese people generally get better treatment than people starving themselves to size 0. I don´t think anyone would object to emaciated flight attendand being fired for not being able to do their job, yet, people object to obese person suffering the same fate.

I remember the fuss a few years ago when British social services took a child who was too obese from his family. Would people do so much fuss if the family were underfeeding him? I don´t think so.

We all know it´s unhealthy to go either way and neither lifestyle should be promoted. Yet, you can see people who can hardly walk wear "Proud to be fat" t-shirts and look down on half-starved gals whose head is bigger than their hips. Well, a bit like a pot calling the kettle black

Interesting, it seems like that obese people always have an excuse to be that fat. 

In 98% of the cases if you are too fat you eat too much and exercise too little! People who are fat often suffer from very low selfestime and food is there ´only friend´. Anyway this is off topic.

Next.

Not realy, it is a fact that being too fat is like I wrote just a matter of too much eating and too little excercise. Also it is scientificly proven that if you are overweight as teenager you will always be like that as adult. But this is another story and not suitable for Turkish Classs.

Have a nice weekend,

How can flight attendants get fat when they are constantly on their feet? Dont you see them working? Constantly pushing the troleys with expensive food and drinks, later on perfumes and gadgets? Then some self-centred passengers calling them. {#emotions_dlg.unsure}  I find their work quite hard.

I don´t agree. There is a bigger chance that you will be overweight as an adult. This does not mean that this is ALWAYS the case. I know a lot of people who were overweight as a teenager who got themselves into shape after some years.

I won´t bet my head on it, but I recall reading somewhere that the number of fat cells you will have forms when you´re a toddler. Of course, later on you may control your weight by means of diet and exercise but it´ll result in the fat cells being flat, not in doing away with them. If you´re a slim toddler, the chances are you´ll be less prone to being overweight later on. So, at the end of the day, it´s the parents you can blame everything on lol

I know this person who works out every day, is a vegetarian, does not eat junk food or fatty foods, no pastries and the doctors say she is overweight.  She is 173 cm tall and weights 100 kilos.  Turns out she has a high bone mass. 

On an extra note Marylin Monroe was a size 14, by today´s standard she would be considered overweight back then it was considered voluptuous.  Today´s fashion, you have to look like a heroin addict to be the "perfect" size 0.

My friend from Venezuela has a saying, bones are for dogs I prefer meat, meaning he like a woman that is healthy and has curves than a woman that is skin and bones.
