Mato, you're a rock star!
I've battled it most of my life, too. My research as of late has shown me that while a calorie may be a calorie may be a calorie, what they do to your body & brain can be wildly different. Sugar & carbs can lead to wild cravings in lots of people, leaving even the toughest guy nearly powerless to control what seems to be an unshakable hunger. In other people, sugar & carbs might be no big deal.
It takes a lot of strength & courage to find out what works for your own body, & to commit to making the changes necessary to bring things under control. A lot of the time, the changes needed result in a diet that can be hard to work into daily routines and/or social situations.
Maybe the guy in the video feels good for shaming. Dunno that it's particularly helpful, though.

His rant doesn't bother me; to each his own. But his main objection is lack of self-discipline in other people. I'm betting some area of his own life shows a lack of self-discipline. It's easy for him, with a trim body and six-pack abs, to complain about people who are overweight, but the mere fact that he is doing this with his shirt off is evidence enough for me to know he has a problem with humility, and a lack of humility will lead to excesses of one kind or another. Very likely, one weakness he has is in the area of personal relationships. But then, as I said, to each his own.

Thanks Folically Challenged. It is a life style change for sure. His video didnt upset me it is just a way for him to show how cool he is. Trust me Im pretty bullet proof when it comes to this stuff.
Eveyone has something in there life that needs to change its just different things for different people. Just got to buckle down and make it happen.

I have to work four nights this week, do you think anyone will be upset that I will be eating a T-bone steak with chips and gravy whilst I am at work...I will also hit the bain-marie half dozen times as well.
Yes I know that most in this world get a single meal each day, but I guess I am lucky in that respect as I get more.
I have got to tell you...guilt is a hard sell when that T-bone with chips and gravy cost myself and my fellow employees less than $5.00.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I think we can all agree that living and eating healthy is a good thing for everyone whether fat or skinny.

i'm 6'1" and 210-ish and when i get into the lifting mode, i can bench my weight. if i chose to get back into it, i could run 6 miles in about an hour after a few months build up. i am considered obese. this bothered me somewhat until i realized that my COCK weighs almost 20 pounds so i now feel better.
