    The problem with the poem is that it is hard to see the humorous in things that get thrown in your face everyday. I have had people scream insults after me on the street because of my weight. And it seam that many think it is ok to make fun of overweight people because they think we are just weak willed. And it do make me angry, it is not ok to insult someone in a wheelchair that they can not walk or make sun of a blind person because they can not see. But for many it is ok to say that fat people should not breed, that we are ugly, weak, take up space, are to ugly to be let outside our homes and other such things. How do you think people would react if I told a smoker that was dying of lung cancer that he he, good thing to, you are a waste of space anyway and brought this on yourself. Why don't you die faster so you stop breathing my air? Would that be ok? No I would not think so, but it is ok to say the same to fat people. Truth is over weight is a disease, and it can be a serious one, it can kill you.

    And yes the basics of loosing weight is eat less calories than you burn so eat less and move about more. But it is not that easy, there are underlaying causes. Do you think anyone would get as fat as me, I weight 130 kg that is about 286 pounds, do you think anyone would suffer the scorn of others on the street, have to suffer the humiliation of hoping no one will control my ticket at the buss because the mandatory seat belt do not fit, would anyone want to have to go to special stores for big people to buy clothes, have their bodies hurt if they walk for ten minutes, to know you are unhealthy and are damaging yourself. Would you suffer this if it was just as easy as stop eating?

    With me it is depression others might have other mental problems for the overweight, others have physical problems, it is not as easy as eat less and move more. Overweight is a real illness, and while I do try to fight it, it is extremely hard, and yes that poem hurt me, for even if it was written as a joke, it is still hurtful when the things said in it are things people on the street and on the Internet say to me not joking. When I am often made to feel that I do not deserve to live because I am fat, then such a poem becomes allot less fun.
    Have you ever looked into food allergies? Obesity can be caused by food allergies, even if you don't over eat. They can also cause food cravings. I just read that the foods you crave are usually the ones you have an allergy or sensitivity to. I lost forty pounds by cutting out gluten and dairy which I have an allergy to. It's hard, but you feel a hell of a lot better.

    As far as the drugs go, I think they make you more suseptible to delusions and entities who will toy with you. The references made to the Native Americans and others, those people have a highly spiritual society as well as elders to help them. We in the west are about as unspiritual as a place can get as a society. Things are different for us. For the two recovered addicts, that is hard to do. Most people are lost once drugs get ahold of them, I applaud you.

    If you're trolling, zero out of ten.

    If not - don't get weed for schizophrenia or depression, it can exacerbate the effects of the former, and in the case of the latter you can form a horrible psychological dependancy.
