Brooke Bates - child casualty of the War on Obese People

[yrbabuena]

That poor girl may have been told or believe she is a "compulsive overeater" when she may in fact be on a starve/binge cycle caused by undereating to try to lose weight, and not realize that her binges are in fact due to unhealthy, unnatural undereating. Girls, kids, adults, if you are in this situation, try upping your food intake/calories at breakfast to at least 1/3 of the normal kcal requirements for someone your height, & same thing at lunch. See if that gets you eating normally/healthily:)

[Dannan1989]

Meme Roth spends her time pouting, shouting at fat peope and telling them that they're awful beasts.

Kelly Bliss spends her time showing people of all shapes and sizes how to exercise, including teaching classes and being active herself, and how to eat well no matter who you are.

Hmm.. I'm wonder who Im more likely to listen to when it comes to health? Not a hard choice, methinks.

[alias1928]

Did that lady in the red jacket just imply that it is natural to do weight loss surgery on kids..... oh sure I agree cause eating healthy and excercising isnt natural at all. I swear she is one of the most ignorant hypocrites in this sad world.

[kellybliss]

Hi Alias1928, This is Kelly Bliss here (the lady in the red jacket). No, I did NOT say it is natural to do weight loss surgery on kids. I said that this awful surgery is the natural RESULT of the War on Obesity. It is terrible that any child would undergo mutilation of her internal organs. You are right, eating healthy and exercising IS natural and necessary for people of all sizes. Meme overlooks the fact that when people live healthy, some will be thin, some medium, & some fat.

[soccercreeepp]

...and she's still fat

[knowyourtrends]

Dammmmnn, why are you saying you look like barbie, like i dont care about the fact that you got surgery.

Ur attitude makes you ugly, you probably have no friends.

So unless ur change ur attitude ur still Ugly..

Your pretty when you where obese, your eyes where beautiful.

Be yourself, dont try to look emo..or scene, because tbh u dont look like barbie, and btw i am not jealous at all get a new comeback.

[ernie150]

That's my girl Brooke!! See ya next time your back home!

You think im spoiled? I call it Privlaged :)

i really am a sweet girl. Only a few of you know me. And i can say that if you did know me you wouldn't be saying such rude things...

until you walk a mile in my shoes you shouldn't judge...

it's only GODS place to judge...

Thanks-

BROOKE BATES! <3

[eyesofgreen0807]

@TheCINDYBATES Brook you look so great!!!! People are so mean but you keep your head up!!!! I dont know if you remember me but I used to work at Walgreens on Gattis School my name is Laine :) You were always so sweet!!!!!!

[eyesofgreen0807]

I know Brooke and she is such a sweet girl! Some people are so mean! Everyone has to have an opinion and it is so sad.

[K74amina]

It sounds like this Brooke girl is spoiled.

[badsantarocks]

I EAT SOOOO MUCH AND CANT SEEEM TO GET FAT :(

[kellybliss]

RockabillyVegan I agree with you. When people eat mostly fruits and veggies and exercise they will feel great.  I do. And so do many of my vegan clients.

However, people with healthy lifestyles, including vegan and active, STILL COME IN ALL SIZES, INCLUDING LARGE.

It seems like you have swallowed the MYTH that every one who lives healthy will be lean.

I imagine, at one time, people fought just as hard for the myth that the earth was flat.

[RockabillyVegan]

@kellybliss I never said that you'd be lean....being vegan and exercising feels great...unless there is something wrong with you, in which case you should have a visit with the doctor.

I've never heard of/met a morbidly obese vegan....heavy yes, but not disgustingly unhealthy.

[RockabillyVegan]

go vegan and exercise, you'll feel great

[morimotodevo]

Meme is so Awesome, She is always right but all these people are so misguided, it's almost sad to hear there irrational arguments.

[kitkatty100]

this girl goes to my school and she is now called the barbie that is all she is...she would'nt do anything for it...all she does is sit at a table and gourge herself on junk food ...and one more thing live with what you have dont change it do what MeMe says excersise and eat healthy its not that hard trust me i've tried it...BTW she thinks that she is all that case she lost that weight.

[TheCINDYBATES]

I'm pretty sure you dont know me.

I may look like a barbie, But im proud of it :) and you must not know me because i don't even eat at lunch, and if i do it's not junk food. ha you must just be another jeleous girl. get a life :) - Brooke Bates!

[sexihoney111496]

I was walkin out my avid class one time and ltd her she wear 2 much make-up

[sexihoney111496]

That girl go2 my skool

[mhefhef123]

I totally agree with meme

[corimOspie]

How can this Kelly 'health coach' deny the fact that is that obesity is becoming a global (western) epidemic that is causing significant health problems due to bad upbringing and fatty / fast foods.

She's in a completely different world of her own. She wouldn't know healthy living even if it hit her in the face, obesity carries more than a couple of major health issues.

Glad I'm not one of those obese people, glad my parents brought me up right.

[hayleymar]

@corimOspie According to a new article produced by the CATO Institute, the obesity epidemic is "the epidemic that never was." And they've got plenty of statistics to support this claim. You should look it up.

[masteroffajitas]

What a fucking whore, i went to school with her.

[TheCINDYBATES]

jeleousy. im a very nice girl. thank you. Brooke Bates

[Delibirate]

Fat asses who lose weight through lipo will forever be fat.

"I is 12 years old, I is done everything I do, Lipo only solution left."

[Gendoshands]

georgia davis was the UK's fattest teen and didn't have to go through what Brooke did.

She did it the hard way.

[JoBros4life99]

[Nightowl358]

She's 13? Jesus, she looks 25.

[thegamer1236]

who cares if they ate 10,500 more calories this year than some people.

[haj890]

the red headed ladie is the biggest fucking hypocrite ive ever seen that fat bitch

[skateboard4marijuana]

stupid fatasses, get the fuck outside all of you, no one likes a fat person, no one, i hate lazy people like this fat bitch

[THESTEAMDIET]

Fat people aren't lazy

you're young

hit your 40s

then post

be carefull what you mock

[skateboard4marijuana]

im not going to allow myself to become useless, like all the fat people that are slowing down humanity

[Allensmackerman]

Sounds to me like you're willfully ignoring the fat people who actually do their jobs well or who are fit, exercise daily and eat healthy.

[skateboard4marijuana]

dude i dont even know wat ur saying im so baked i dont even care u cunt ass bitch nigger

[Allensmackerman]

Oh, sorry, were you saying something about becoming useless and slowing down humanity, you lazy, stupid pothead?

Hahaha, I love when the hypocrisy just works itself out.

[skateboard4marijuana]

ok ok, lets say pot heads are useless and all they do is smoke weed...thats still not nearly as bad as what this fatass is doing

[Allensmackerman]

She had surgery? That's supposed to be worse? Is that what you're saying?

Are-- are you in there right now? He-LLO? Earth to pothead! Are you paying attention to the argument you're attempting to put forward? Is this all too hard for your baked brain to keep up with?

Liposuction is certainly a stupid option to take, but I certainly wouldn't put it anywhere near the kind of problems drugs like your precious pot have caused.

[skateboard4marijuana]

haha are you some fatass blonde like this lady, "HeLLO?" i mean wtf, and ive probably accomplished much more in my 16 years of life that you have in yours...and what problems does marijuana itself cause again? u see im some pothead with a bad memory so i kinda sorta need ya to explain it again, pff, hahahahaha

[Allensmackerman]

Sucking dick and smoking pot don't count as accomplishments, sorry. You WERE a troll and every comment on your page was negative. Now your account is closed. That, to me, tells me to treat the quoted text with suspicion.

Goodbye, skinny white kid.

[aleterra]

I love chocolate, I love fatty food, I love pizza... God I really do! But I don't eat them, I eat vegetables, fish, whole grains and I exercise 45 mins a day, and I am in excellent shape! A person is fat because she/he wants to be fat.

[kellybliss]

Well, aleterra, if you eat healthy and exercise, good for you. You happen to be medium or small. I eat healthy foods and I teach EIGHT aerobic workouts a week, walk 2 miles a day, AND bike on top of that. I happen to be fat.

So what? People with healthy lifestyles come in a wide diversity of sizes. Just because you are medium or small does not mean everyone who is healthy will be also.

Your assumption that all healthy people are medium or small is a prejudice. I hope you recover soon.

[aleterra]

Hi kellybliss, I really don't know what you eat, but I don't know any fat person who eats healthy. In my case I don't eat anything with white flour or sugar or any refined carb, and I keep my dietary fat lower than 10% BY CALORIES. if you are really eating healthy and you are fat then you definitively suffer from a medical condition like thyroid problems, I recommend you to see a doctor.

[Allensmackerman]

"I don't know any fat person who eats healthy"

OOP, A FAT PERSON EATING A SALAD AND DRINKING WATER AT A CRISPER'S I'D BETTER LOOK AWAY REAL QUICK AND PRETEND I DIDN'T SEE THEM

Nope, never seen a fat person eat healthy.

[aleterra]

whatever, I don't care, if they want to fool themselves, go on.

[Allensmackerman]

You do that then.

[JoBros4life99]

stfu

[Allensmackerman]

Hahaha

[JoBros4life99]

what the fuck r u laughing at bitch?

[Allensmackerman]

AHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[extsieg]

Anything but exercise you lazy cow

[Saveon13]

Brooke Goes to Meh School She ish meh friend :)

[TheCINDYBATES]

Awee thank you!

-Brooke Bates!

[Charles2337]

He's a douche.

[supersmash43]

How tall is she? Damn 220 lb! At probably under feet.

[BayAreaBiker2001]

An hour of exercise a day? I rarely get less than two hours a day. I bike nearly everywhere, sometimes for great distances, and weigh 114 kg FCOL

[cvaugeois]

Why don't they just lose weight? I've had two children and obviously you see when you gain weight with age and children. Therefore as soon as you realize, why not get a gym membership and not buy junk when you go grocery shopping. I grow up in Sweden and then moved to the US, and there's only in North America that you'll find that many big fat people. This is the result of lazyness to eating well and exercising, so they just go like Oh I like myself the way I am, I hope so lazy fat person.

[PiggyPhoo]

Jesus, so rushed and stressed "journalism". They've got time for commercials and teasers for up-coming programs every two minutes, but they can't take the time to finish a train of thought?

Poor girl, though, feeling like surgery is the only way out. It's good that she's lost so much weight, but that kind of surgery seems extremely drastic and risky.

[cgrind666]

She didn't do it herself.

I'm 5'3 and 220 lbs.

[supersmash43]

that's scary. i am 5,9" and only 140 lbs. but she still weighs nowhere as much as 7,7" kenny george lol...

[Vairuyai]

the girl may have had the surgery, but shes still eating crap isnt she?

why cant her mother just give her a fucking apple and tell her to walk her bloody dog for ten minutes?

[Saveon13]

Dude Shut the fuck up she doesnt eat crap like u thing she does she is my friend Smart one and she eats very healthy so STFU

[damnnn321]

why doesnt he let them speak!

[sillyness44]

he's probably one of those men that doesn't believe that women should ever be allowed to speak or state their opinion, regardless of whether they're right or wrong. i didn't like him either. he just doesn't want to hear another side of the story, or he could be phobic of fat people.

[StephFL07]

Meme also puts these blanket judgements on everyone. She's very general about everything. Blah.

[SuperHurra]

*Likes Kick4ass Cause He's Literate*

[TarotSkye]

Meme needs to get a life. She thinks Santa is a bad example for kids because he's "obese". Give me a fecking break. She thinks she knows why all people are fat...to know that would be to know how every overweight person thinks. Being overweight is a personal issue and people are overweight for different reasons.

[TunaHelper64]

99.9% of people who are overweight are overweight because they consume more calories than they burn. See how simple that is?

[zev007]

also, 99.9% of statistics (including the one you cited) are made up on the spot.

[TunaHelper64]

You keep telling yourself that fatty I guess it makes yourself feel better. I mean it's better than just facing the fact that you're a glutunous lazy slob.

[darthrayray]

yeah that means alot comin from a guy who calls himself "tunahelper". ur prob twice his weight.

[Allensmackerman]

I'll take my health advice from a professional physician with a PH-D over a pretentious little dickhole like you any day.

[TunaHelper64]

You do that fatty and he'll tell you the same thing.

[Allensmackerman]

Wrong again, turd. My physician has told me that my blood pressure is normal and both levels of cholesterol are where they should be. I exercise, I bike and I eat healthy foods, and I'm physically fit because of it. Just because I'm overweight doesn't mean I'm not healthy. Get your head out of your ass and maybe you'd learn that.

[TunaHelper64]

That's a lie you tubby that's just not possible, I bet your fat ass is eating a twinkie right now.

[Allensmackerman]

Yeah, no, it's not a lie; you just can't admit that your view of the world might just be wrong. Actually, I've never eaten a twinkie, and I no longer eat junk food. I am making a salad for lunch.

I may be obese, but my blood pressure and my cholesterol are normal. I am active and healthy. I do this for my own health, not my weight. I am repeating all of this because you need to learn that you can be healthy at any size.

[sillyness44]

i like how you can argue your point without name-calling or personal insults such as 'fat ass' and 'you tubby'.

[Allensmackerman]

Oh, I can when I feel like it. I'm not always this nice, though.

...I did call him "turd."

[sillyness44]

that's true, you did.  aw well.

[kick4ss1337]

Mm, sorry for double post, but I agree with the blonde on the right. A healthy life style is what you should focus on, if your still overweight, but you excercise & eat healthy.. your health should be first.

[bigfootiscool]

im 12 and she was hot fat and is hot now to!

[SuperSizedSexy]

Yes but you have to look at the so-called "evidence". You have to dig and not just make assumptions. Did you know that in most of the case studies on weight and health the financial backing to do these studies have come from pharmaceutical companies - companies that make millions off of diet drugs?

[SuperSizedSexy]

Did you know that the so-called "obesity" industries, including commercial weight-loss programs, weight-loss drug purveyors and bariatric surgery centers, will likely top $315 billion in gain this year because of the wide-spread panic over the "obesity crisis".

[SuperSizedSexy]

So many people have been told such big lies for so long that of course you're going to assume that just because a woman is big that she is unhealthy. It's only natural because it's what the so-called "health industry" (who's main goal is not people's well being but to make money) has been telling everyone.

[SuperSizedSexy]

In the end most of the studies are done on bigger people with sedentary life-styles who do not eat right. It's all about eating right and being active. Thin people with the same sedentary and all junk-food diet are at risk for the same types of diseases and health problems.

[kick4ss1337]

I observed, and the junkies are the slim people.

Look at a grade school, see how the fat kids are eating Carrot sticks. Then there, the skinny kids are eating cupcakes & chocolate bars + 10202020 cans of pop.

pfft. Im 12 years old, and 160 lbs & 5'4, I understand that I'm going through puberty, but people don't understand how uncomfortable the process is. My main problem is not my eating, I have good control of that, inactivity is the main issues. Games, PC's etc

[SuperSizedSexy]

Yeah, I think that is a lot of people's issue, in this day and age there isn't a lot of mobility with everyone watching movies, playing on the PC, playing videos games, etc. It's hard to get moving sometimes but it's important. *hugs*

[SuperSizedSexy]

I really see that the lookism war is going to become more and more heated in the next few years. There is such a horrible stereotype that is just crazy - everyone thinks: Thin = healthy and Big = Unhealthy! That's nuts!

[SuperSizedSexy]

I think that it's quite unfortunate and unfair that they gave so much more talk time to that Meme woman then to the other woman.

[JapSlapFever]

I agree with the redheaded lady that one's weight does not necessarily reflect one's lifestyle. My son eats fastfood every day and gets very little exercise and yet he is about 20 pounds underweight. On the flipside, his best friend eats about one meal a day and is constantly on the go and yet he is about 30 pounds overweight. I believe genetics really does play more of a role than people realize. I don't know...

[Roxie21]

Agreed. Also, Miss Bliss looks FANTASTIC in the vid! Love the hair and makeup!

I'm sure everyone knows someone who eats like they're a blackhole and gains no weight.....yet no one thinks it would ever work in reverse?

Also, I'd like to see this "study" (unamed). Socially acceptable, my ass!

[afbarbie10]

i know brooke and im friends with her dont judge her

[TheCINDYBATES]

Thank you!
