To be fair, they have to swim. We just have to get up, open the door, pick up the food, sit back down and eat. Closing the door is optional, because ain't anyone moving from their chairs.

Yeah and it doesn't matter if you're fat or skinny a predator likely isn't going to kill and eat a human
True. They just kill for sport.
This isn't a science meme, this is a fat shaming meme wtf.
An abundance of food that we didn't coevolve with and thus isn't optimal nutrition.
Modern industrial foods have just shown up in the 3ish million years of homosapiens existence, hell, agriculture is still really new at 13,000 years.
Humans eating the coevolved foods won't have this type of reaction, i.e. animals meats and fats won't make even the most dedicated couch potato look like this guy.
Now.. eventually, in a few hundred thousand or millions of years eating current processed foods, the future humans will have adapted and be ok with it, but not today
We've already adapted via medical science and technology. There's no more evolutionary pressure to biologically adapt.
That's not true. Illness and injury still have an effect on reproduction. Someone who spends their life fighting chronic disease is going to have a worse time with sexual selection and reproduction. Plus a lot of characteristics are social in nature, with kin selection being a big part of human evolution, so those who are less able to contribute outside of their direct reproduction still detrimentally affect their genes' survival and propagation.
Yeah but bad traits are still MUCH more likely to be passed on
Natural selection doesn't apply to humans any more, we won't naturally evolve to handle it
I am tired of the got dang fatphobia on this network! Everyone should stop being mean to fat people for no reason! It is not a bad thing to be fat! Nobody's body is a good joke!
I mean if you're as fat as the man in the photo then yeah that is VERY BAD
Two people can be equally fat while only one has any negative health effects from it: raw size can't hurt you. And we don't point and laugh at the dude who has polio, or the one with one arm, so why pick on this guy?
But people really don't give a flying fuck what your opinion is. They should go to a doctor and get professional advice. I hope you're not a doctor posting shitty memes judging people weight
He literally is the outlier, as in he was the heaviest man in the world https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/worlds-most-obese-man-to-undergo-surgery-1674755
Body shaming when the food distro is in crisis is very snooze.
TIL an abundance of food produces potatoes.
