technically, soemone with more body mass does have to eat more food to sustain their weight than a smaller person does. That's just if you want to be technical about it, but he was replying to my comment, when I was remarking on the stupidity of the idea that cars getting lower fuel economy should pay more per gallon of fuel.
I said by that reasoning, should fat people pay more for food?

I was refering to the cost of food however, not the total cost based on intake.
example, at 300lbs, you'd pay more than your wife for the same burger. just as dumb as a truck paying $5 for a gallon of fuel, and a prius paying $1 per gallon.

Skinny people are just jealous that they don't have a good woman cookin' them some food capable of stickin' to the ribs. Fat = happy.


Nice car GlassWolf!
Something about the classics, nothing else compares to them. I love a turbo 4cyl, I certainly appreciate the economy, but the sound and feel of a big V8 is a whole 'nother world.

dude, I won't flame you cause of your age and your "LOL" but I am 6'1 300lbs. I am considered fat aka obese. I don't eat more than my wife does, who is a tiny 5'6 140. I just don't exercise as much. That comment was narrow minded and untrue.

be careful what you say on here. You never know who you will offend.
