Does a pot smoker need help?  A person who drinks alcohol?  Because they're consenting to doing themselves damage, at least to some degree.

I don't smoke pot.  Why should I not stand on pot smokers getting "help"? 

On the other hand, I do smoke, which definitely results in permanent, possibly life-ending damage.  Should I be assigned "help", if I don't want to quit?

Lots of pot smokers, drinkers, and smokers need help, that's why they check themselves into rehab and hospitals and ask their doctors for prescription medication to help them quit. You are absolutely abusing yourself, and if you were unable to buy your own cigarettes because the cancer finally caught up with you, anyone who brought you more cigarettes would be abusing you. That doesn't mean that particular variety of abuse is criminal. "Needs help" and "should be forced to get help" aren't the same.

I'm arguing the "needs" part.  Driving a motorcycle is typically entertainment, but it's far more likely to kill you or seriously fuck you up than smoking is.

Does someone need help if they drive a motorcycle?

Nah, you're right there. It just seems like things that do harm every time are less bad than things that are generally awesome, but could potentially go wrong once.

I can't even wrap my fucking head around that. I can't even produce that much food in one place in my IMAGINATION!

There are children on earth that have not a bowl of fucking rice! Why not just feed them to HER and solve the problem. She is making me sick. Not just from looking at her, but her idea that this is OK.
"I wanna be the fattest Jabba, tee hee" 

Fuck that, they should feed her to poor children.

Try not equate the calorie intake with the starving children. A couple of billion dollars would benefit them, much more than some lardasses grocery cart. She's just perfectly within her legal, moral and ethical rights to do whatever the fuck she wants, including being the ugliest land whale that ever occupied a reinforced sofa. Might not be my idea of a good night out, hell, the useless fat slug might make me feel physically sick but I'll be bolloxed if I'm going to fuck with her right to do it.

Like roger said - I condone the prosecution of ugly fat fucks, I'd have to condone those fucking weirdos that want to make things like smoking pot and doing fucked up dangerous shit illegal, I'd be condemning myself.

The male fiancee is a chef(Eman found love recently with Parker Clack, a 35-year-old chef she met on the Internet), so having a full time chef by your side certainly helps.

And no squid, beating a world record and appearing in media is WAY more important than feeding those that need food.

"Abuse" is a word with a wide variety of connotations in a big spectrum of areas, but i dont think the factor of consent is present in most of them.

Even a quick view at wikipedia can show this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuse

So if one's gonna equate all types of abuse into one category, then you are implying BDSM is just as bad as a hate-crime, parental abuse and pedophilia.

abuse (plural abuses)

    1. Improper treatment or usage; application to a wrong or bad purpose; misuse; perversion. [from 15th c]  [quotations ▼]
    2. Physical or verbal maltreatment; injury.
    3. Forcing of undesired sexual activity by one person on another
    4. An unjust, corrupt or wrongful practice or custom; offense; crime; fault.
    5. Coarse, insulting speech; abusive language.  [quotations ▼]

The transformation of the word into nowadays currently goes along with definition 4, so yeah.

I'm resting on #3.  If there's consent, there's no abuse.

But Dok! It is their RIGHT and PRIVILEGE within a nation of FREEDOM to be as fat as they can be! You see, if we dare to critizice her RIGHT to do so, then its a slippery slope to TOTALITARISM, we can ONLY argue the extreme positions of FREEDOM or TOTALITARISM, because those are our only options and thats how the world works.

It is, actually.  You're either free or you're not.  There's no middle ground; there is no "semi-free".

Yes, i do agree with that.

What i was trying to imply is that we're conditioned (or maybe more Americans, im not sure) to think within the dichotomy of "free vs. not free" whereas one could think of "healthy vs. unhealthy" or say "how does this relate to other people locally or internationally?"

Americans actually think "freedom" means "gluttony", and not just with respect to food. 

For example, there are more ipods in America than there are in Mexico.  Ergo, we are free and you live in a banana republic.

You're not really free if the aircraft carrier you drive on the freeway every day gets more than 12 miles per gallon.

Freedom means supersizing.  It means UNLIMITED DATA.  It means TIVO or CDR, so you can watch ALL the CRAP you want, all day long.  It means the Certified Pre-Owned Lexus YOU deserve.  It means owing more money on your house, cars, and credit cards than the nation of Guatamala has in their national budget.  It means listening to Talk Radio, so you know what to think for yourself.  It means 5 gallon jugs of pickles at WalMart.  It means building a big stupid Goddamn fence on the Southern border of Arizona because ILLEGALS want to TAKE OUR STUFF.

It means supporting the troops, by getting as many of them maimed or killed as possible.  It means the American Legion, the Rotarians, the Tea Party, and Ayn Rand in your Christmas stocking.

We know all about Freedom™ up here, Johnny.  We invented it.

[Freeky]

Freedom means Gluttony.  I hate and love that.

Try not equate the calorie intake with the starving children. A couple of billion dollars would benefit them, much more than some lardasses grocery cart. She's just perfectly within her legal, moral and ethical rights to do whatever the fuck she wants, including being the ugliest land whale that ever occupied a reinforced sofa. Might not be my idea of a good night out, hell, the useless fat slug might make me feel physically sick but I'll be bolloxed if I'm going to fuck with her right to do it.

Like roger said - I condone the prosecution of ugly fat fucks, I'd have to condone those fucking weirdos that want to make things like smoking pot and doing fucked up dangerous shit illegal, I'd be condemning myself.

What i really think that resonates with this whole thing -as a symbol or representative of how things work- is how one person has the privilege, monetary surplus and free time to waste on something so stupid as breaking a world record for fatness while others have no choice but to starve or survive on borderline famine.

I think this goes beyond whats legal or illegal, allowed or not allowed, its about privilege and inequality.
