We shouldn't try to shame anyone into quitting a bad habit because they hate themselves for it. Just like we shouldn't make children get good grades by telling them they're worthless and they'll fail at life if they don't. That's not the right way to encourage people.

Granted, the opposite of this (overuse of the positive) is also as harmful.  You have to land at a point where it would be balanced.  It's a bit of a pain to land and keep society there without it falling into one extreme or the other, though.

There's a really beautiful double-standard here, though. Why is obesity and related behavior (overeating, choosing unhealthful food, eating more than your metabolism needs/can handle) something which is perfectly normal and out of an individual's hands while nicotine addiction, drug use from mild and largely non-addictive stuff to hard drugs, alcohol consumption, &c. are terrible things that make people evil by association?

Because, y'know, I've got a fucking great metabolism. I can eat whatever I want without gaining an ounce. But I don't, because it's really bad for the body and will still kill you down the line even if there aren't visible signs. If you get fat easily, that's just one more incentive to have some goddamn self control. Society comes down on chronic alcoholics, smoking addicts, drug addicts, &c. for choosing to destroy their bodies, so why not overeating? It's certainly easier or as easy to break free of than any of the others, considering that it's just habitual rather than a chemical addiction.

Or to put it another way, how would you feel if alcoholics started campaigning in the same way, insisting that they aren't hurting themselves and encouraging other people to drink themselves shitfaced as often as possible, to never drink water or milk or juice when booze is available?

All those other things effect people besides the user? Drinking can make you more dangerous to others and smoking causes other people nearby to ingest nicotine whether they want to or not.

If I'm buckled in for an hour-or-more plane flight and I've got some lardass next to me reeking of sweat with their rolls slowly engulfing my arm rest, I'd say I'm pretty goddamn affected, thank you very much. :P
Not to mention the cases people have already described, with the drain on medical funding and what-not trying to cater to the health problems caused by obesity. Or various indirect affects, like situations where someone's lack of fitness could put others at risk.

Basically, unless you're Jack Black you should try to lose some weight.

I heard about people selling solar powered clothes dryers years ago.  Does that count?
I would totally use that. I hate hanging up laundry with a passion.

Earlier today a series of odd thought processes led me to wonder if there were any anthropomorphic truck girls, like there are shipgirls and OS girls and the like.

About of minute of Google searching after I get home tells me that there are not.

You didn't look hard enough. And for what R34 doesn't cover, R34b has your back.

The closest things I can find are characters from that Cars movie. Which isn't all that close at all. I was hoping for something like Peterbilt-chan :P

So apparently yes, despite a complete decoupling of gender and sexuality (as in the latter doesn't exist).

An average burger meal has 2000 calories.
The fuck are you getting your burgers? Seriously, I want to go there. Even McDonald's is lower-cal than that. ~500 calories to the Big Mac, ~380 to the medium order of french fries, ~300 for a medium soda, you're still a good ways short. I mean, it's still pretty unhealthy, but damn. I wanna visit this 2000 calorie average place.
1180 to a burger meal, since you didn't do the math here, Majik.
Also, the 2000 kcal figure is for an average woman; average male value is bigger, plus there's factors such as height or physical activity.

1400 kcal is more than enough unless you're an athlete.

1400 kcal
... 1.4 million calories? That sounds like a lot.
