Why would you get fat on purpose knowing all the health risks associated with it? If you don't have BED or is an anachan trying to recover, I don't get why someone would do that to themselves.
Women who put their health at risk just to sexually please a random idiot (not only by getting fat on purpose, but by many other means too) will always irk me. This is pathetic and incredibly dumb.
I don't like consumerism in any form and find this level of (and I'm aware how unbearable I sound right now) 1st world hubris detestable. I'm already living like royalty compared to my ancestors*, but on the back of a peasant class that exists thousands of miles away so I don't see the negative consequences. I'm not saying people should feel guilty about everything they do, but revelling in excess, especially with something as fundamental to life as food, while so many have so little, is tasteless awkwardly tone-shifting pun intended
*not to say everything is rosy for everyone, but 21st century Western living beats just about everything else ever, except in it's absolutely worst forms.
>>6330 Nayrt, but I feel the same as that anon and my answer is “almost nowhere, if at all possible.” Step one is to figure out what you can just do without. Step two is to figure out how to get the things you need without adding to consumerist traffic, such as getting things used at charity shops or at the very least making sure it’s not being shipped across the world to you.
Food is a really good way to start making a difference basically right away. One can only be so agriculturally self-sufficient with an urban apartment and no yard, but looking into stuff like Community-Supported Agriculture shares (CSAs) is an option for us metropolites, while suburbanites can grow a ton of stuff in a backyard with just a little work every week - very worth it once you start looking into how metaphorically drenched in oil and blood food from the conventional food system is (and how packed with surplus calories processed food is); I highly recommend a book called The Omnivore’s Dilemma if you’re just starting to look into both.
And I know it’s not a popular topic, but seriously look into the hidden costs to the planet of eating meat every day. There’s no such thing as “sustainable” daily meat intake, and animal factory farms cause MUCH more of global warming emissions than all energy and transportation put together. Nobody’s saying you have to be a vegan (and human history has shown us that OCCASIONAL meat, and regular animal products such as milk/eggs and thus cheese and so on, is wholly sustainable), but even cutting beef out of your diet can make an immense per-capita difference - more than switching to a hybrid or even electric car.
Tldr weird place to say it, maybe, but since we all have access to the internet it’s within all of our power consume less - there’s no real excuse for ignorance since all the research is right there on google scholar and thousands of people have gone to great lengths to get the info out there. I know you can do it!
>>6333 Im shit at finding anything online so I can't find the book you mentioned for free, now I'll have to spend money on it? not fair, it obliterates the whole point of reading the book to begin with lmao.
>>6320 Honestly, I agree with you. I'm really sick of watching American television and seeing food waste in almost every tv programme. If there isn't a "food fight" scene, there's someone getting their head plunged into a birthday cake. On youtube, you get an insight into what real people's lives look like and I'm constnatly seeing people waste water by leaving the taps on or leaving the showers on while they're not in them. They take planes everywhere when driving is possible. Literally nothing is precious to them.
I just find it frustrating that in the rest of the world, it's hammered into us that we're contributing to the destruction of the planet and climate change when rich countries are never held accountable or educated on the subject. Here, everyone recycles and composts, we're charged for water in our homes to encourage us to use less and there are constant campaigns encouraging people to cycle/walk, to avoid flying, showing us how not to waste food. Takeaways and fancy coffees are a treat for us and I wouldn't get either more than once a week but youtubers seem to get a milly, syrupy coffee every single morning and it's pretty rare I see types like Trisha ever cook a proper meal. Also I find that series that Shane does where he created Frankenstein-level fast food "cakes" and makes them practially inedible, takes one bite and then dumps the rest absolutely vile. It's not even entertaining to watch. It's clearly onnected to his eating disorder and he's trying to make his favourite fast foods look inedible once he has a craving for them but it's not only disgusting behaviour, it's also really irresponsible since it's giving his young viewers ideas. Same goes for that nasty Epic Meal Time.
>>6333 >cutting beef out of your diet can make an immense per-capita difference - more than switching to a hybrid or even electric car.
Wow. Thats a very telling little nugget of information, there. I'm vegetarian myself, but you're so well informed and I'd like you to know how much I appreciate your post. I'm going to do some more research around this subject because I entirely support the comments of both yourself and >>6320
>>6512 Many libraries allow you to hold an item from another library (it gets delivered to your local library) if that library is in a network of libraries (where I live, most are). Hopefully this is of some help.
>>6495 This is embarrassing, you are making yourself seem more ignorant by how you think America is run. Americans have to pay for their water and power, in certain states you are required to recycle, there are plenty of incentive programs for people to use bicycles (for example, in my city, it provides free bicycles a day at a time or something like that) and public transport. Hell, where I live, it was a law for a while (I think it may still be in effect, I'm not sure) that you couldn't water your garden for certain days of the week and they definitely enforced that. A lot of people don't even have gardens where I live and have concrete patios, a lot of the middle class are installing solar panels, etc. etc. etc.
Maybe stop being a retard and thinking fucking television and YouTube entertainers are in any way realistic. You're showing your ass and you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. Further more this isn't the 90s anymore, evil America and our cars (or I guess planes fucking make up your minds) aren't the ones fucking up the climate, China and India and Brazil and the rest of the up and coming developing countries are.
>>6520 >Brainwashed American thinking their country is absolutely harmless while their president doesn't even believe in climate change Okay. Nothing will make you change your mind anyway, stay in your bubble.
>>6522 >>retarded foreigner thinking a president who enjoys less than 30% approval rating represents his country in any way other than rigged election results
Honestly, given how many elections the US has helped rig, we deserve it, but don’t be an idiot about it.
>>6495 It’s really embarrassing how easily the gullible can be deceived by television, isn’t it? I bet you’re one of those people who would have thought War of the Worlds was real journalism when they heard it on the radio.
>>6512 Anon, it took me one literal second to find a full text pdf of the book (top result for “omnivore’s dilemma pdf”). You’ve tried harder with your excuses than you did with your attempt to find it.
>>6524 You didn't address anything I said, you just whined about not all Americans liking him and that the elections were rigged. He is still your president anyway, and the person who will decide the future of your country and its many actions that will fuck up with the environment
>>6543 There are a lot of problematic elements to American consumerist culture, but using YouTubers as an example of all people is what makes you retarded.
Then why not criticize where this mukbang trend originated, Korea?
Oh no, complete retards who think food fights are a real thing and wants us to agree to stupid carbon tax bullshit think we're disgusting, whatever will we do.
>>6567 As a fellow American, re-evaluate your ideas on carbon tax. It’s the only thing that has worked to get capitalist structures in line. >tfw id much rather we just have a communist revolution but in the meantime I’d like there to be a habitable planet in 20 years
Did Trisha say she's trying to get fat on purpose or did OP just use her picture? Sorry, I'm not very familiar with her but I'm curious to know anyway.
nah, she's lazy and has no self control. that's all. she started doing this mukabang things because they were a fad. and she always does whatever is trendy atm, storytimes, ASMR, mukbangs, hauls, makeup, etc. she must have thought "eating on camera and that's all? easy peasy!" and started doing a bunch of em last year. but by the end of the year she had gained TONS of weight and it fucked with her self esteem. so she went and got lipo done. now, about 8 months later, she's going on and on about how she wants to do lipo AGAIN. imo she's just lazy and underestimated how much those eating shows would fuck up her diet.
she's been chubby her entire life. she doesn't mind being fat or being called fat. the only thing that changed last year was that she started eating even worst and got depressed. so she went from chubby to actual whale. pretty much the entire situation as Mariah Mallad. and when she realized she had fucked up, she went to the doctor to fix it. and now she's back to where she was before surgery cause she's still dumb.
she says a bunch of shit on her videos, mostly lies, but that's it really. when she was younger she could pull the chubby/curvy role well IMHO. but now she's getting older and her face is all fucked up (from more surgery) and her body is all fucked up (from more surgery) and she's gaining so much weight and she's a fucking mess basically.
>>6678 I think a lot of people (like Amberlynn and Trisha) use them as an excuse to binge. I do genuinely feel sorry for both women because binge eating is a disorder and they must have unresolved problems in their lives or untreated mental illnesses.
Trisha tends to do a mukbang when there's something going on in her life that's upsetting her, it's a really easy to follow trend. I wish someone in her life like her mom or her sister would cop the fuck on and encourage her to get help, if they give a shit about her.
>>6679 I can understand though, I mean food is like instant gratification on the spot. Don't need to wait for results, like with self improvement and stuff.
I can definitely understand binge eating but it's sad that these people with obvious health problems are doing "mooookbangs" to have an excuse to binge. Not only that but making it seem normal. I know it's a fetish for some but even the thumbnails (Nik) make my stomach turn sometimes.
>>6679 >I think a lot of people (like Amberlynn and Trisha) use them as an excuse to binge.
Seems to be the most likely cause here. I feel pretty bad for Trisha. I never watched her videos and admittedly I had no idea who she was until two months ago but she doesn't seem like she is happy with herself. It obviously isn't helping her situation to be documenting her breakdowns and binges for the world to see either.
This is just dumb as hell. It's like these girls are giving up. First of all, once they inevitably regret it and want to reverse it, it's going to be so hard for them. Stretch marks and cellulite are a real problem. Second, it's just gross gluttony and it seems to exist to be "funny" but it seems more like a cry for help. Third, it's grossly unhealthy. No one should just be eating to be eating, especially junk food.
And finally, if they don't stop, they could end up like this woman. She's just in a feeder or "gainer" community that fuels her weight problems and mental health issues and has no chance of being healthy again enabling her.
Well at least these women don't pretend, or try to hide the consequences of binge eating.
I fucking hate yellow fever whiteknights defending mukbang videos of Korean girls binge eating food. Meanwhile they're clearly throwing it up afterwards or cut the videos so as to mask them spitting out their chews in a bucket under the table. Nobody eats 20,000 calories in a sitting and have no ill health consequences.
>>8115 >mukbanging is so bad why won't these fatties think of their health :,( >it's okay if you do it and starve yourself after so you stay skinny though lol
As okay as the scores of social media and professional personalities and the girls who emulate them with eating disorders. Actually probably better, since you'll probably outlive them.
>>6309 honestly sounds better than dying of old age. my grandma had onset dementia and arthritis and other issues and I never wanna go through something like that.
>>6309 Women have been harming their bodies for the sake of money and/or approval since the dawn of time (see prostitution, surrogacy, anorexia in the 90s etc.). This isn't any different (though it's probably more fun than those other examples).
Such a waste, if you’re not working out or doing a sport , that extra food you could’ve fed hungry kids in the third world Making yourself obese is a form of mental illness . I was fat for a little bit and it felt awful in many ways. Truly felt like a sickness
