Talk:Obesity

To do

Add Chris's comments about weight ("about 200 pounds"), his exercise (Guitar Hero, standing up), Chris being defensive about his weight (in IRC, he got really defense and in an e-mail with Evan [I think] he's like "I AM NOT FAT!!!!!!!!!!!") and so forth. --Champthom 04:20, 31 May 2009 (CEST)

• I added a lot of stuff, but I suck with editing wiki format so a lot of things don't have links. I fsomeone wants to help out, go for it.--Howsyourham 17:01, 19 July 2009 (CEST)
• Now that the Chris and Health article is up, I propose that we merge this and that article together, seing as this falls under health.

• I'm tempted to do that, though I'm leaning towards calling this "Chris and his weight" since that's a pretty indepth topic himself that comes up a lot (that is, "Chris is fat lol"). Thoughts? --Champthom 16:35, 3 September 2009 (CEST)

• It's definitely an important topic, seeing as how it has not only been brought up so many times, but how adamantly Chris has reacted to it. It's beyond just not bathing regularly, this is a real part of his mindset and I think it warrants it's own page. Why don't we just move the two sections from Health and add them to this page, then include a link? We already are talking about exercise, I don't think nutrition would be that much of a leap. --LizardPie 16:48, 3 September 2009 (CEST)

• When I made this article I made it because there seems to be a lot of fat people in Chris' life, including himself. But then again this is quite common in the US. So I support it being moved to "Chris and Obesity" or "Chris and His Weight", but not merged with the Health article.--Goatselover 23:20, 23 September 2009 (CEST)

merge this bitch--Wintermute 18:39, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Rename

I'm thinking about renaming this "Chris's weight." Thoughts? --Champthom 01:17, 28 October 2009 (CET)

• If we're going for a more objective title, that would be better. Obesity should still re-direct to it, though; if for no other reason than that this particular page is linked to extensively and trying to find them all would be a bitch. --LizardPie 01:24, 28 October 2009 (CET)
  • How about renaming it "Buddha Belly" considering that's his CWC-ism for his obesity. --Goatselover 00:36, 15 November 2009 (CET)
    • Honestly, I think pretty much all of this could be added to Chris and Health. Maybe we could label that section Buddha belly, or at least mention that on the page or something?--That Man 19:37, 1 December 2009 (CET)

Merge

There's a lot of good stuff here, but it overlaps with Chris and Health. Could it be condensed into a subsection of his weight and diet?--Megaman! 08:19, 5 December 2009 (CET)

• I agree with this. The "Chris and..." series is a much better place for this and some other overlapping articles. I vote we merge.--Fuckingstupid 23:47, 7 December 2009 (CET)
• I also agree with the merge. Griffintown 17:03, 13 December 2009 (CET)
• Same. Shiny 20:04, 13 December 2009 (CET)
• I agree! It'd make a lot more sense IMHO. --Morganna 17:24, 3 January 2010 (CET)
• Yeah I agree, but we have to becareful not to Fuck up the Health article. But there IS a large ammount of good info on here.--Pikimon 18:14, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
• I don't know. His obesity has been playing a lot into his life lately, from Kacey's father calling him fat to which he's embarrassed to admit it and uses a euphemism to try and not outright refer to himself as fat, to denying it and claiming he used to be fat (i.e. Sammy and addressing Asperchu).--Goatselover 23:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
• To me it seems that a lot of the actual health related aspects could be added to Chris and Health in a merge, but I also agree with the above comment in the rename section regarding the CWCism 'Buddha belly' I say we do a bit of both of those. We'll have a section for his obesity in Chris and Health and another seperate page for the CWCism Buddha belly. Kind of like how there are articles for 'Chris and Race' alongside the page for the CWCism 'Niggos' --Edward 02:01, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
• I say let this stand, but maybe trim some of the fat (heh heh) from Chris and health — anything on that page should just be a summary of the concepts that are covered in more detail here. Apostrophe 23:21, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
• I say we merge this bitch--Wintermute 07:42, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
• I vote for placing an overview of his obesity, particularly the health ramifications, on the Health page, with a link to Obesity. So I second (or rather third) Apostrophe and Edward--NoVu 12:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
• I agree wholly to merge this sucker, that way, everything about Obesity can be covered in Chris and Health, and his excuses not to exercise as well. --UJ1A1985 03:54, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
• I like having this separate. Chris and health is massive as it is.--Beat 03:58, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
• I'm also going agree with everyone on having them separate. If his hair gets it's own article despite not being as major of a subject as his obesity then I don't see why this should be merged.--Goatselover 15:31, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Way to determine his weight

Why not ask him his waist size? I mean he's probably too stupid to realize that its meant to get his actual weight. Shawths

• Because he might not know, or might measure inaccurately? Apostrophe 16:57, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
  • He'll most likely lie and say that he's a size 4 or something. --BreadGod 16:58, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
    • You really think we can't lead him on?Shawths
    • We could tell him that a number in a certain range (one likely to be close to his size) is the sign of a strong, healthy man. - Liquid! 11:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
      • Brilliant. We could tell him that the sign of a healthy man is a waistline between 40 and 50. --BreadGod 17:21, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
