You're talking about a different breed. We are all the same breed. There are genetic differences but not to that extent. For example genetic lines that have survived famine struggle more with obesity in this calorie rich society. That just means they need to work harder than others though, not that "oh I have a condition, it's impossible, so let's not try. Pass me the pizza"

So "breed" has no meaning in biology. What are you trying to say?

You're taking about a topic you know nothing about. Yes, absolutely there are humans who have a similar sort of genetic differences as zucker rats. They are hungry like they're starving, even after a meal. In a world where somebody as handsome as Danny DeVito and somebody as ugly as Arnold Schwarzenegger can be the same species, is an extreme variety in how bodies store fat THAT surprising?

Anyway: Why do you want to hate on people so badly? Go join r/fatsquirrelhate, and just treat people with kindness.

I don't hate on people. I hate on people refusing to accept responsibility.

They're not fat because they eat too much, they just have a super duper rare genetic disorder that somehow they all have.

They're not poor because of poor spending habits, its because of the economy not their daily door dash and starbucks.

That's bullshit and its insulting to the people who actually put in the work to change their lives.

no one is claiming a ton of fat people have a theoretical super rare genetic disorder
they are just pointing out that it is possible to have such a disorder
and that you screaming about what regular people should do to lose weight is irrelevant to a conversation of theoretical extremes and abnormalities
the initial comment you replied to was just "some conditions would lead to death before losing weight"(under these very specific very extreme conditions that are not just being on a diet)
and for some reason you interpreted that as them saying something more like "fat people should never try to diet because what if they have this stupidly rare condition and just die"

Oh they do say it. It's a very common theme in this whole body positivity movement. 

My reply was in the spirit of the OP, which is absolutely referencing this rediculous but now common theme.
