Last year, Reuters reported that the annual medical costs of obesity
were double earlier estimates, clocking in at $190 billion for the U.S.
And the Mayo Clinic found that obese workers cost employers
exponentially more as their weights go up: For those between a BMI of 30
and 35, each person uses up $1,850 more per year in medical costs,
while those with a BMI of 35 to 40 cost an additional $3,086. For those
with a BMI of 40 and above, the annual added cost is $5,530, according to the estimates.
As you can plainly see if everyone was a thinling the medical industry would be a shadow of what it is today. Thankfully patriotic American gluttons are keeping members of the medical industry rich and as any true Republican knows, the rich know what's best for us.

US Drops to Number 2: Mexico Is Now Officially the World's Fattest Country
Fat Mexican Guy Celebrating Mexico's Number One Rank As The World's Fattest Country |
It's not as bad as it sounds. The US held the honor for a very long time but now the data is saying that Mexico is the world's fattest country but that could be decieving. Here's how I got there.
Diet? We don't need no stinking diet! |
When I, Fat Bastard, first read the number I was disheartened to say the least but when I thought about it and talked to the Chef he talked me down and pointed out how immigration has skewed the numbers so while technically Mexico is the fattest country on earth, the numbers are in a sense artificial. Still, we are officially number two but there is a way to regain our prestegious number one position. EAT and EAT like you mean it!

A Cure For Bulimia
Fat girls in waiting are gluttons in denial. |
Typically the BULLimic will present to the shrink by saying, "When I get sad I cut myself." The shrink will try to or pretend to give a flying fuck and attempt to get to the "deep seeded" reason why this wannabe glutton attention seeking girl eats junk food, vomits it out and then cuts herself.
BULLimics have a lot of negative self-talk like when they say, "When I get sad I cut myself". As most of our readers know, fat girl gluttons are mentally healthier than the general population. You won't find a fat girl starving and puking or feeling guilty about pigging out. Sure they may eat when they get sad but the feeling of sadness will not last long with a fat girl because she will do the right thing and eat. We all get sad sometimes but when we do, most of us, especially us fatlings do something to get cheered up like surf porn, watch the Food Network or EAT. That is a prescription for good mental health.
The curative self talk of fat girl gluttons is just what the doctor would order for BULLimics. When the BULLimic think or says, "When I get sad I cut myself." all she needs to do is continue in to a healthy thought by saying, "When I get sad I cut myself.... a great big giant fucking piece of chocolate cake."
Big Bellied Fat Girl Eating Chocolate |
Proud FA can tell you that BBWs respond favorably to chocolate. It makes them happy and horny. Before Proud lays the dick to one he feeds them plenty of chocolate. He claims that chocolate is a powerful aphrodisiac and numerous studies back his assertion. Carrot cake, spice cake or angel food cake simply won't do. It has to be chocolate cake. Again, chocolate has been shown conclusively to cure depression.
Your teeth will wear out before you can get fat on these "foods." This is the kind of "food" that FOOD eats! |
Bulimics are merely fat girls in waiting. They puke and cut because they want to be gluttons but don't want to be fat. The only time I want to puke is when I see Kate Harding's dog face and the only thing worth cutting is a big mouthful of steak or a healthy smelly fart.
That's right all you BULLimics. Eat and fart like the proud fatlings you are. Let the fat girl out and EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT
Real womyn have curves and weigh 200+ pounds and they need real food! |
Thinlings have their boring food pyramid and the rest of us who are fatlings have an exciting food pyramid.
FEED YOUR BELLY GOD! |
GM Continues to Kick Ass
GM aka General Motors aka Government Owners continues to KICK ASS! The trash on the right was praying for GM to fail just to make Obama look bad. The fact is, while traitor vulture capitalist Mitt Romney was wanting the US car makers to go down the tube,the auto bailout the Bush administration already had the auto bailout in the works. Obama merely expanded it. The righties Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are not only stupid and wrong, they are also anti-Amercan subversive corporatists.
I can here my fatlings oinking now, "Thats all well and good Fat Bastard but where's the fat angle" and to that I respond, "The fat friendly Chevy Tahoe and the fat friedly Cadillac Escalade" And for the medium sized oinkers they have the impressive Cadillac CTS and the award winning Chevy Impala. For the thinlings they have the Chevy Volt, the world's best selling plug in hybrid.
GM's Future Is So Bright
For master investor Warren Buffett, cars are in and groceries are out.
The chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has sharply boosted his stake in General Motors, while cutting stakes in packaged food companies Kraft and Mondelez.
As of June 30, Berkshire had 40 million shares of the auto maker, according to a filing on Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That's up 60 percent from the stake Berkshire reported March 31.
Buffett is buying GM shares as the U.S. government is winding down its position in the automaker that resulted from the tax-payer bailout of GM in 2009. The government took a 61 percent majority stake in the company with about 500 million shares. At the end of 2012, the Treasury announced that it would begin exiting its position and hopefully be done with GM ownership by the beginning of 2014.
The United Auto Worker's healthcare trust is also a significant stakeholder, having swapped what GM owed it before the bankruptcy for shares in the company.
The Treasury reported last month that it has received net proceeds of about $877 million in July from its GM sell-off, which follows a sale of about $2 billion in June.
After Berkshire Hathaway, the next leading institutional shareholders are Vanguard Group with 35.6 million shares and State Street with 30.2 million shares.
The federal government now holds 136 million shares, a little more than a quarter of the 500 million share stake it took after the 2009 bankruptcy, in return for a $49.5 billion bailout.
Investor interest in GM has risen in recent months. Why? Reviews of GM's vehicles in the last two years by analysts and the media have been almost entirely terrific--Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Cruze, Sonic, Impala and Silverado. The company is no longer burdened by dysfunctional brands like Pontiac and Saturn. It no longer is plowing cash into oppressive healthcare liabilities. And its China business is very strong -- much stronger than Ford's.
GM is benefiting from many third-party endorsements. J.D. Power and Associates in June said GM was the top-ranked automaker on its Initial Quality Survey for the first time ever. Last month, Consumer Reports magazine declared the Chevrolet Impala the market's best sedan.
GM shares have lagged the bull market that started in early 2009. But it recently hit a 52-week high of $37.71 after hitting a low of $19 in mid 2012. Some analysts have out a price target of $45 on GM shares.
Analysts and institutional investors like Buffett who watch GM have been generally positive about the lean operation that chairman and CEO Dan Akerson has run.
"Frankly, it's been a tough four years coming out the financial crisis we were in and a little bit of validation here and there is OK. But we've got a lot of work to do, and we've got to keep our heads down here and keep it going," GM President Mark Reuss told reporters this week at the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance.
If there is one area that GM is still struggling with it's the company's European operation. The Opel and Vauxhall brands are weak players and Europe has only this week officially emerged from economic recession, according to economic statistics reported by the European Union. That indicates that maybe Europe has hit bottom and is poised to start a climb back.
Buffett appears to be betting that the worst is behind GM, and following his long-standing advice of buying low and holding long when it comes to stocks.

What’s Your Fattitude Score? Take the Fattitude Test
To be a true fatling you need a high FQ (Fattitude Quotient). With help from CG Brady and a few of my gluttonous friends I, Fat Bastard designed a fattitude test or FQ test. Unlike IQ which pretty much remains static your fattitude quotient or FQ can rise and fall throughout your life.
Weight loss guru CG Brady proclaims, “Lose the fattitude lose the fat.” Who wants that?! Other than having weight loss surgery or being in a Nazi death camp the only way to lose weight is to lose the fattitude. We at Bigger Fatter Politics want you to – KNOW YOUR FATTITUDE! At the end of this test we will show you ways to increase your fattitude. Having an accurate measurement of your fattitude is more important than having an accurate measurement of your fat. In the case of the gainer a sober inventory of your essential fattitudes is crucial in making the gains you desire and in the case of the loser aka dieter indentifying and reducing your fattitudes is crucial for weight loss.
The Fattitude Test
This test has a series of statements that will measure your fattitude quotient. Simply respond to the staetments and tally your score. The higher your score the more fattitude you have. On a scale of 1 – 5 rate how true these statements are regarding your fattitudes. 0 = Totally False, 1 = Mostly False, 2 = Slightly True. 3 = Mostly True, 4 = Totally True, 5 = True with whipped cream and a cherry on top.
Answer as honestly as you can.
1. Food is love.
2. I’d rather sit than move.
3. If there were only one channel I could receive on my TV it would be the food network.
4. Flavor means much more to me than nutrition.
5. Food is better than sex.
6. I prize tasty food above good healthy.
7. I prize food above my family.
8. Society should accommodate the special needs of fat people.
9. It is impossible to be too fat.
10. I steal food.
11. I will circle a parking lot in order to save a few steps.
12. I will use a fatty scooter at Walmart even though I don’t really need one.
13. I am or am becoming to fat to wipe my butt but I don’t care.
14. I don’t feel guilty about getting free medical care because of my obesity.
15. Fat people are now the new Niggers.
Tally your score!
What your score means.
0 – 10 = Little to no fattitude. Move to Sparta and worship MeMe Roth.
10 – 20 = A shadow of fattitude. You will eat tasty food as long as it is healthy. You still pick health and social responsibility over food but you will have a slice of birthday cake.
20 – 30 = A loud whisper of fattitude. You did pig out once on Thanksgiving but went straight to the gym on Friday but went for pizza after that. Most of your eating is mindful but you will feast now and again.
30 – 40 = Moderate fattitude. You often have seconds and desert. You say that you rarely eat fast food but that is not true. You still cook often but you avoid rabbit food.
40 – 50 = Major fattitude. You go to fast food restaurants and while you eat salads you add lots of cheese and dressing. You have few meals at the dinner table and rarely use a knife fork or spoon.
50 – 60 = Uber fattitude. You have pig outs with friends regularly and you waddle. Your C-PAP machine is your best buddy.
60 – 70 = Mega fattitude. You have often polished off an entire bag of Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies. Food is your God. You really know how to throw your weight around and you do it well. Everytime you take a dump it’s a tripple flusher.
70 – 75 = Ultimate fattitude. You know that vegetables are what food eats. You proudly strut or wheel your fat self around. You are large and in charge. You make Kate Harding look like a fat hater and the patients at the Brookhaven Obesity Clinic look like runts. You have reached the Belly Boy class of obesity and fattitude and you deserve a hearty BOOM SHAKKA LAKKA and a couple of pies.
How to Increase Your Fattitude

2. Watch shows about food. Food shows are like porn for fat people. Seeing food and people eating while making yummy sounds increases your desire for food just as watching porn increases your desire for sex.
3. Hang out with fat people and eat with them. This is fun and you will discover new foods and new fat freinds. While it is good to eat alone it’s better to eat with other fatlings. Fattitude is contagious.
4. Use a power chair whether you need it or not. Not only will riding in a power chair or scooter save calories it will increase your sloth. Remember, live smart not hard.
5. Know that you are entitled and get all the freebies that you can. Learning how to milk the system even before you become too fat to work will give you the skills you will need to navigate the social service maze.
Follow these five steps and before you know it you will have supersized your fattitude.
