    It all depends on ones lifestyle. I could never split a meal with my wife and still have some to take home. That wouldn't be enough fuel for my body, given that I exercise at least 5 days a week. That being said, I still tend to not clean my plate. But if someone (not saying you) leads a more sedentary lifestyle then they should absolutely not finish a restaurant meal given the portion sizes and how the food is cooked...lots of butter, fried, etc. What's worse are those who not only finish their meal (talking about the overweight people) but then have dessert. The US, on the whole, is such a gluttonous society it's disgusting.

    When you see the body shape of those who consume the whole meal, you get a pretty good idea of whether they need the whole meal.

    Acknowledging scientific reality in genetics (like climatology) vs being ridden with guilt may well be symptomatic of an ideological bifurcation.

    Curiously it is those in denial concerning the latter who refuse to accept responsibility.

    Most obese states:

    HAWAII

    MASSACHUSETTS

    CALIFORNIA

    UTAH

    FLORIDA

    CONNECTICUT

    NEW JERSEY

    NEW YORK

    RHODE ISLAND

    WASHINGTON

    NEW HAMPSHIRE

    As one might expect, there is a significant correlation with level of academic achievement - as well as other metrics such as health and wealth.

    Go to a Trump ralley and you will see mostly fat slobs with missing teeth. He has tapped into a voting base of people who used to sit out elections at the Hometown Buffet and inspired them to come out and vote. Studies have shown that on Election Day 2016, doughnut sales near polling places soared to all time highs.

    No one said that you had to like the empirical data.

    One can find almost anything to blame on others for instance here is a study that shows liberals are smarter than conservatives and conservatives are greedier that liberals:

    "Conservatism and cognitive ability are negatively correlated. The evidence is based on 1254community college students and 1600 foreign students seeking entry to United States'universities. At the individual level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with SAT, Vocabulary, and Analogy test scores. At the national level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with measures of education (e.g., gross enrollment at primary, secondary,and tertiary levels) and performance on mathematics and reading assessments from the PISA
    (Programme for International Student Assessment) project. They also correlate with
    components of the Failed States Index and several other measures of economic and political development of nations. Conservatism scores have higher correlations with economic and political measures than estimated IQ scores."

    So why don't we stop trying to troll others and divide this country to reinforce our own false sense of superiority and get on with making America a better place? After all conservatives are in charge and so far have done a lousy job of uniting the United States.

    I was going to go to a Democrat rally but there were like 50 people there.

    4 of them were Rosie O'Donnell.

    Liberal victimhood. It simply cannot be their fault. They're such good folk, no? It must be external. If it wasn't, victimhood couldn't be achieved....

    How many stones do you suppose she weighs? What country are you posting from and who do you work for. We Amurcans don't measure our weight in stones champ.

    Well, what does it say for the "responsibility" of conservatives if they realize that being obese is their own fault, yet they still do nothing about it?

    Seems the only downside is that you might be offended by it? Fat shaming lefties... bullies in SJW costumes.. Sometimes you just have to laugh...

    I know a lot of folks who, while perhaps not happy that they are fat, aren't the least little bit ashamed of it either. In a world where starving wasn't so far away, or long ago, this seems to be perhaps what success looks like...

    A long drawn out dodge and attempt to obfuscate the OP which is about Democrats lack of personal responsibility in all things imcludinc their health.

    The OP is not about who's fat it's about who takes personal responsibility for their fatness and who looks for a scapegoat
