If my Biology lessons stuck the thyroid is a shit filter in the body. So it stands to reason that in an increasingly polluted/chemically driven world the thyroid will get overloaded or trashed, ergo more obesity.
Further. I did read a report that suggested a link between thyroid problems & long term pill usage.
That's nice except obesity started rapidly across the west, predominantly in the Southern USA, not in the most polluted areas of the world like the Indian subcontinent, LA, Detroit etc. You don't seem to understand the simple concept that obesity is caused by diet, and other hormonal issues are symptoms of this, not causes.

How the fuck would you know? Beyond joking last night we've never even spoken and we've never met. For the fucking record I've lost 25 lbs and the weight is still coming off at a steady pace. My eating habits are fine and healthy, in fact I consume very little junk food. And YES I do have thyroid problems for which I'm on medication, I just don't use it as an excuse. Unless you are a doctor please don't spout out crap you have no clue on.
I know because nearly all fat people are the same. Your problem is ignorance/stupidity, as your post demonstrates. You don't know the first thing about food and jump to all sorts of obscure medical conclusions that conveniently happen to alleviate you of responsibility. Eating properly doesn't mean avoiding junk food, it means consuming equal or fewer calories than you expend and keeping to a suitable ratio of macronutrients pre-determined by our evolution. I eat junk food, and I drink cola regularly, and yet I'm shredded. You think that's genetics? No it's because I know exactly how much I eat. You can either believe what makes you feel better or what actually works.
This thread is kinda sad. It's essentially a bunch of overweight people discussing possible reasons why their weight isn't their fault, and one normal person explaining dietary responsibility. Go figure.
What is sad here is your complete and utter ignorance of medical facts. You are aware that not all people are born the same way (apart from the obvious 2 sexes), a thyroid disfunction is nothing you get from diet, it's genetic. In case your metabolism shuts down, you can calorie count all you like, Einstein, it will be nothing else but a useless exercise.
You keep on eating junk food and kidding yourself that you're healthier than somebody who might have a bit more padding but who otherwise lives healthy, you might be shredded (only got your word for it) but you're still filling up your system with saturated fats and sugars, so your arteries are possibly a lot harder and clogged up than the arteries of a person who's genetic disposition is to be bigger and not "shredded" (you should really be more careful around office tools, you know), so who do you think will have a heart attack?
You logic is so incredibly stupid and bare all facts, what's next? You're going to tell people who are overweight to take up smack because it slims them down?
But what would I know, my BMI tends to be around 20 with very little fluctuation, I must be looking for excuses according to you.
Enjoy your junk food, I can hear your arteries clogging from here, hope you have a good health insurance, the surgery ain't cheap...
