Yes, I agree that obesity is being glorified, but not all obese people are alike. There are many who have suffered from physical, mental, and sexual abuse as CHILDREN that drives them (and me included) to food. We don't know what is going on inside of a person's mind and we don't know what kind of trauma they have suffered. Calling them gross, fat slobs is uncharitable. Not all fat/obese people want to be that way. We don't know how they are struggling to get their weight under control. The media is constantly advertising one diet after another or this pill or that shot. With so much being thrown at at us, how can anyone choose what is right for them? The food companies are constantly pushing their heavily manufactured foods on everyone. Poor communities don't even have good grocery stores in their area with fresh food so that they can choose the healthier items. We are all sinners. Some of us are struggling with the sin of gluttony everyday and others are struggling with other vices trying to break free from the chains that bind them. May God grant us the graces we need to break free from our sinful ways and heal our hearts and minds.

I'm a fat guy trying to lose weight because it's unhealthy! Live in reality people!

Highly recommend everyone learn and practice The Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent fasting as explained on The Dr Berg Channel. Healthy eating gives a healthy body, using less money for medical needs, leaving more money for charity.

Broad statements, most people don’t want to be overweight it’s a struggle for them.I would rather see it from a view of understanding and compassion.

I used to be a paramedic. We have to move mobid large people. Many EMT's and Paramedics have had to leave the service because of injuries of lifting these heavy people.

Wasn't St. Thomas Aquinas overweight. Also St. Anthony was a little chubby. Michael Angelo didn't seem to mind. Modesty is important in everyone. Those women don't have to walk half naked down the runway. I agree that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and is not healthy to be overweight. This is a struggle for some of us. In my opinion it is not Christian like for someone to refer to a person as gross. I don't think Bishop Sheen would have describe a person as gross. People that are overweight are not hurting anyone else. The reason I became a premium member is because I was happy that you exposed corruption and indoctrination. There is a way of saying things without being rude. Obviously you have never had a weight problem. I don't think heavy people choose to be that way. Pavarotti was overweight but he was gifted with a beautiful voice. There is truth to this but your demeanor bothered me.

We were made for fasting. Fasting is not a fad. Fasting is a necessary discipline for the health of your body. When we fast, our bodies repair themselves, and get rid of toxins and free radicals. We are not made to constantly feast.

[bridgetpollock]

My response is "That is sad. God help them.'

[joset]

The epidemic of obesity in our country and even around the world and many other countries particularly Western countries is just another sign of the breakdown of discipline and morals in our society since we are called to be good stewards of our bodies and everything God gives us🙏

Oh Michael, I don't know where to start with this. I will start where I agree with you in this. Obesity is tremendously unattractive and unhealthy. It should never be promoted as normal or desirable. Characterizing the obese as lacking any will power or self discipline takes a few steps too far. Few people have perfect self discipline, if you do, you are to be cobgratulated. Most of us have unequal self discipline. We can be moderate in some parts of our life and not in others. My weaknesses in this arena are food and finances. Imagine having to discipline yourself everyday for most of your life from something you need to survive. You can't quit food. It was and is a life long battle. The longer the battle lasts the harder it becomes. Will power alone can only get you so far especially with something like this. A fight thzt lasts for years requires God, medical intervention and support of family and friends. Name calling achieves nothing. Trust me, obese people already call themselves those names with every glance in the mirror. I have won my way part of the way but have yet to win the war. Michael add a dose of compassion to your condemnation. God bless you.

I told a bishop who was gaining weight:

Your Grace,

((Looking at his waist) You are supposed to make Holy, not Newtonian, Mass!

11:01 Thank you Michael, it was so appreciative to hear that there biblical reference on how we should be taking care of our physical bodies, as well as our spirit and our mind as well.

[sheelajoseph]

Behind every obese person there is an enabler who provides the food for the food addict, sadly obesity is a serious problem in the U.s.a.

[DominicMazoch]

Once I was at a store. Coming out, there was a para transit mini bus. It was lifting a customer on a motorized scooter. The combined mass (Newtonian) was so great, the lift was straining, and the bus was leaning to one side. It was beginning to look like the scene where Fred ordered the bison ribs, and the Flintstone mobile flipped in it's side

I don’t care what MV says or anyone else: some overweight women are beautiful. Many men like to look at them. I’m one of them. I’m married to one.
In Samoa, overweight women are considered attractive. It’s a cultural thing.
Is Tabria Majors ugly?

GOD BLESSED MICHAEL VORIS
DESDE ESPAÑA. AMÉN AND GRACIAS !!?!

[Lo_V]

The latest Victoria Secret models are very disgusting ...

[monty-id]

We called it the morning after blues because you were ashamed of what you did.

[tlmiraglia]

I like CM & most of the work Mike Voris and the Staff do. BUT, I think Mike has lost his compass & needs help to get himself back on course in True Church Militant fashion.
