From the Straight Dope<\/a>, by Cecil Adams, by a poster who calls himself Scylla<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Being fat means that in the words of Neal Stephenson, you are a collossal badass of evolution. Your genes have fought impossible odds for millions of years destroying, and outgunning and outbreeding billions of competitors. Your genes have wiped out 99.9% + of all the species that ever lived. Your genes have killed eaten or otherwise beaten up just about every other species on the planet. Not only that your genes have outcompeted millions of different human bloodlines that are now extinct because they just weren’t as tough as you.<\/p>\n

You’re tough because you’re smart efficient and insatiable.<\/p>\n

It’s only now, when you’ve won the evolutionary struggle that success is spoiling you, like an old prizefighter gone to seed when there’s nobody left to kill.<\/p>\n

My suggestion is to hunt down and kill a skinny person. The challenge and exercise is just what you need to throw off that post-evolutionary malaise. By the time you’re done, you’ll be strong and lean.<\/p>\n

Then you can eat the skinny person.<\/p>\n

That is The Way of evolution, and the only reason that you’re fat is because you’re denying your inner reptilian psychotic hunting and killing machine.<\/p>\n

Let that bad boy loose. You’ll be ever so much happier. Trust me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
