Just wondering where the title of land whale starts at? When the someone’s 240 kilograms? Or BMI (body mass index) of 80 or 90 or above?
Not that I’m already past the line!

Why?
Personally, I think making fun of someone's weight is like publicly calling someone a retard. Not cool bro, imo.
Can a BMI of 90 ever be reached?
With all the cheap junk food and super sugary drinks being constantly shoved down Khmer's throats (literally and figuratively), this is a giant problem that requires education not ridicule. Anyone else notice Thailand's anti-obesity campaign on TV, and their sugar tax? Nanny state, or trying to keep your citizens from turning into what has happened to many in the west?

BMI is meaningless and erroneous.

Not really... people don't choose to become afflicted with mental retardation and ridicule aimed at them would be the height of dastardliness.
Whereas, piling unending pizza slices, fist-fulls of french fries and buckets of Neapolitan ice cream into your horsey gape, whilst never attempting to heft your thunderous arse of the couch for any recognizable try at exercise...seems to me to be a conscious choice...albeit a choice based on a detrimental underlying emotional issue of some magnitude.
But as a properly cultured Westerner of grace and aplomb, it would be extremely uncouth to mock someones excessive girth.
I'd do what any other self respecting person would do, wait for them to pass and do it behind their back.

Of course...pituitary, thyroid, etc. issues but I would wager that that only accounts for about 5% of morbid obesity....
whilst, taking chkwoot's flawed analogy into account, 100% of mental retardation is a 'medical condition'.

My analogy is not flawed. You just don't understand it.

Been fat. Not now.
Drink heaps of beer.
Eat one meal a day.
Lotsa protein, veg and rice or potato for carbs.
Work physically, all day every day.
THAT keeps me at 78kg, not the 100-110 I was.
Excuses, fucking excuses!
My thyroid,
My ass !
