if you know what is good and bad!?

I guess everyone is just stupid and you're the smartest person in the world. We should worship you...speaking of a waste of life...

OK, first try not to be so judgemental. Don't assume that overweight people are that way JUST because they eat too much or don't exercise enough. Heredity plays a HUGE role here. If all your family members are a good weight and have no weight-related health issues, then good for you. You probably won't, either.

Here's are 2 examples:

Everyone in my husband's family is overweight to some degree -- except for my husband. His brother is 400+ lbs! His brother was big at birth, as a child, and as an adult. He's never been tested by doctors as to why this is. My husband was a skinny kid and is now at a good weight. He's 6 feet tall and about 175 lbs. While his brother is dieting, exercising at least an hour a day, and losing weight, my husband eats junk food and never exercises other than his usual daily activity.

I have a coworker that is soooo thin -- she's about 5'3" and weighs less than 100 lbs. I was with her for traning out of town for the last 3 days. She eats like a horse!!! I can't believe the amount of food she puts in her body -- it doesn't seem possible. I have to watch what I eat and exercise to maintain a healthy weight (just lost a bunch, thank you). Some people have to work at it and others don't. It's not always just stuffing your face with unhealthy foods and not moving your butt that makes the difference.

METABOLISM

I understand that you feel that doctors and nurses should set an example of health, but it's not that simple. You're thinking of it in terms like this -- I wouldn't hire a hairstylist whose own hair is damaged and falling out. It's not that cut and dry (no pun intended) for weight and health.

The only people that I would truly say are a waste of life are the ones who take others' lives or destroy them (molesters, rapists, etc.). Saying that a doctor or nurse is a waste of life JUST because they are overweight while they are SAVING lives every day is not right. I believe that you really don't mean that and are upset about something and just venting. At least, I'd like to believe that.

Boy that was a silly question. Does everyone always do whats right or perfect for them? do you drink? Do you smoke? Do you go out in the sun without sunblock? Have you ever had unsafe sex? Do you always wash your hands after using the bathroom?

My point is maybe they DO know what is best for them but maybe they have a thyroid problem that is making them overweight or maybe emotional problems or maybe they like the fuller look or whatever......plain and simple we do not always do the perfect thing whether it be diet or otherwise. You must be a child, this was a very childish sounding question.

They ARE not a waste of life you moron, they help to save lives everyday! What have you done? God forbid you ever over eat and get a little chunky or someone will think you are a waste of life!!

Congratulations! You've won the idiot question of the day!!!

What do you win? NOTHING!

Not everyone can be perfect like you.
