He's fat until proven otherwise! I doubt the restaurant owner would have called him fat if he was a monster size football player with 8% body fat. Further, if you are a linebacker that doesn't mean you're not fat...many are big, strong AND FAT! Fat is fat, regardless of you're profession. Just because you're a football player, does not mean the fat is healthy! If you're fat, you're fat...stopping making excuses and get working out and eating right. Ryan,

Now you have the kids that will come in regardless of whether or not you are there. then there are a few who were kind of interested and I would get them hooked, then you have the kids that never step foot in the fitness centre. So I did a trial, and brought in guitar hero for a week. the next week I brought in Dance Dance Revolution. over 100 kids I had never seen before came in during those 2 weeks. I got the go ahead from my supervisor to purchase a used play station and DDR with a couple of additional no violent games. the non active games have to be played while spinning, and the DDR is very active ( good for agility too). It gets kids interested and eventually they try other stuff. this is where you want to hook them. Also when I tach first aid to the grade 10 students I spend a lot of time on the cardiovascular unit.

I take it as, if someone insult me or if I felt as an insult, I work double hard to be what I want to be. I swear that's how I lost 13kg in 10months.My brothers and their wife were making fun of me during our 2006 ending New Year party. I told myself, I will make it with pain I went through to loose all that. So sometimes it's good to feel insult. I take it my way. It's difficult to take insult but don't we take it as a challenge?

If the guy was at an all you can eat buffet and he was moaning about getting overcharged for eating too much, lets face it he wasnt eating salad! So even without seeing a picture of him, i think that we are safe to say that he is not a body builder but infact MORBIDLY OBESE. I watched a program on the Discovery Channel sometime over Christmas, and it showed people in Texas, one man in particular was a similar weight and he also was proudly stating that he had been refused entry to a few all you can eat buffet diners. (since when has eating 3 prime ribs been something to bragg about) It also showed an obese mother drive her son 50 ft (yes i said 50ft) so he didnt have to walkto the school but, what chance has this kid got! What the heck is going on there! Until then i had never heard something so ridiculous. We need to starting waking up for the sake of our children. Keep doing what you are doing Ryan, i do not want sugar coating. Kelly Ryan, i totally agree with you.

We are reading articles on a regular basis about all the health problems ex-pro athletes are having. Part of this is substance abuse, some of it is the pounding their bodies take and some of it is weight related conditions (heart attacks, diabetes, stroke). So as long as the athlete stays in shape they are able to metabolize oxygen better than average, but don't kid yourself and think they are immune from trouble when they get out of "playing" shape. Don't kid yourself that a low bodyfat means it is OK to be heavy. Just because a person is “in shape” doesn’t mean that their heart doesn’t have to work harder to pump fluids through all that MASS.

We can't woryy about everyone and their eating habits. The buffet owner is wrong in asking the man to pay more. You expect your big guys to come in when the "All You Can Eat" sign is out. This isn't the first time nor the last time this will happen. Let the guy eat what he wants. We can’t woryy about everyone and their eating habits.

I do not believe in discrimating against anyone, but enough is enough. We have created a culture where eating enormous amounts of food is not only accepted but expected. We are not doing enough to help people beat the obesity crisis we are facing. The worst part is the effect it is having on our children. It makes me sad and sick to hear that by 2050, obesity will be the number one killer for that generation. When I was growing up, there were very few (maybe one or two) heavy kids in school, now, at least one third of the kids are overweight. I applaud shows like the biggest loser for bringing awareness but we need to do more. We are no longer afraid to call out people who smoke and have taken away their freedom to do so in several public places, we have stopped commercials promoting the sale of cigarettes and we have started the process of charging them more money for insurance if they do smoke. I think all of that is good, so why can't we start doing the same sort of thing to address the obesity issue. Supersizing should be banned, commercials promoting overeating and bad eating should be banned, and you can't tell me that obesity is not putting a strain on our healthcare system. If you are obese than you should have to pay more for healthcare insurance too. I'm sure it all comes down to dollars as keeping us fat is a huge money maker for our economy. I could go on and on and on but I will spare you. SO, yes I agree with you Ryan that the media missed the point and we need to do more to help these people.
