As someone who struggled with their weight and worked my ass off to get fit physically and like David Goggins and his attitude towards goal setting; I will say this is defense of fat people.

1. Being fat is so easy. Imagine if instead of being addicted to cigarettes or alcohol, you were addicted to food. Now imagine how hard to get and how expensive it is to get drugs and now make it easy. In fact the cheapest, easiest and the food that will give you the best feeling, is the worst for you. All advertisements, commercials, signs are telling you to eat, eat, eat. School lunches are bought by corporations to sell things like milk and grains that cause more obesity than anything. Giving a child fruit loops should be as bad as giving them alcohol.

Do you know a lot of American food is banned in other countries? Like corn syrup?

2. Not only is it easy to get crap food in America , cities are structured in a way where it is impossible to be physically active. You are working 8-10 hours a day with a family and you damn sure can’t walk or bike to work because there are no sidewalks, bike lanes, or decent public transportation.


Unless we start attacking how corporations and businesses have destroyed our nutrition and cities there will always be fat people. Shaming them really isn’t going to do much. Like just say no to drugs
Agreed.

It didn't hit me how hard it was to keep people from being fat until I met my current girl and meeting her 9 year old daughter. At 9 years old she's already one cheeseburger away :snoop:

My girl is an exercise nut but didn't have the foresight to carry that mentality to the kids. Didn't sign her for sports growing up, let her mom overfeed her, she sneaks food/candy all hours of the night, watches eating/cooking related youtube channels, just an overall food addict.

It took me to come in and tell her that her daughter is well on the road to being obese and potentially diabetic for her to clamp down a little bit on her and now it's a hard road to get her to even have the mentality that she needs to work that weight off. She doesn't have an athletic or competitive bone in her body so she doesn't wanna do any kind of sports, etc. So she's already behind.

At the end of the day she ain't my daughter, but it gives me perspective on that. If and when I have my own kid I'll know how to steer them because I ran into this situation with my girl.

The broader issue is what he said at the end.

These days….everything is okay. And you can’t say a thing about it.

It’s a problem. And I agree. It’s just that Goggins has a way of speaking…his personality…it’s very crude.

Not gonna lie. I like hearing Goggins go off sometimes. I read his 1st book. That guy makes me want to cut out all the bullshyt. Because he’s right. We lie to ourselves a lot. It doesn’t have to be about weight. It’s about comfort.

This is a good point, they do make food over there that's illegal in other countries. It even tastes way different, and yes it is addictive. I was there last year and got addicted after eating 1 cinnabon. When I lived there I didn't bring any desserts or snacks home becuase I told myself it's gonna be outside my house to greet me.

why is it always someones elses fault? :why:

do you think movies and music should be filtered by the government as well?

im not disagreeing with you...
...but being fat is also the fault of the person.

also bad science.
people still think Diabetes is about eating too much salt

Id rather be fat than like David Goggins. Ive watched him in several interviews including this and dude had a rough upbringing, and he's still trying to fill a gap in his heart. He can be in the best shape of his life, and accomplish all his physical goals, but guess what, dude is still insufferable AF. The hypothetical fat chick in his story could be confident, find a BBW chaser to love on her, have tons of friends, have a fulfilled career, and enjoy all the foods she wants. She gets diabetes and dies at age 60. Thats a much more preferable life than David Goggins. There are plenty of morbidly obese fat folk who need some of Goggins tough love, but its obvious Goggins needs therapy and should focus on healing than pointing fingers at lazy people.

He also said he had no problem with people who actually WANT to be fat. But how many people REALLY want to be fat. \

And people are dying from diabetes everyday, and diabetes is just not a fat poeple thing. It's an all shapes and sizes thing. Peopel who work out everyday and are slim can have diabetes. Everybody has to learn their body and be careful what they eat.

I think at this point we know what it is. It’s far too many obese people especially women for you to leave that demographic so yes for the sake of money I’d force a few obese models to say we are woke and have clothes for obese women. I acknowledge it isn’t healthy and not a good look. But I want that money.

I agree with most of what Goggins says, but its not what he says or how he says it. Its who is saying it. Maybe because Im around his age, but its blatantly obvious that Goggins lives an unfulfilling existence. He frequently talks about how he is in his personal relationships and that he never turns it off. Goggins simply lacks the emotional credibility to point fingers at others regarding lifestyle. Dude needs to start a foundation and get a spokesman to speak on his behalf. In Contrast, Montell Williams (Talk Show Host) started out as a motivational speaker with a hard-ass demeanor with a military background. He was able to turn it on and off when needed. It allowed him to reach more people. Goggins is mostly preaching to the choir.

That’s actually a very fair criticism.
Goggins definitely lacks the tact that it sometimes might take for people to accept the truth he’s giving them.

I agree with that, and it’s definitely a military thing.
I’m a little harder than other women and I get that from my military uncle. The way Goggins speaks is literally the way my uncle speaks to me every time I see him. Which took some getting used to, but I have to admit it works (unless you’re more sensitive or emotionally fragile).

Sometimes you need tough love to shake you up and get you on track 🤷🏾‍♀️

Bro I live in Japan and when I went back to the states and ate some chocolate I almost fell out. :mjlol: Don’t even get me started on soft drinks. And we sell that shyt in schools.


Hell, in America, cereal, waffles and a big ass glass of orange juice is sold as a “balanced” breakfast.

Give your child 1500 calories and a weeks worth of their sugar and fiber requirements every morning and wonder why our primary school test scores are so low.
