Potent Quotables: Nugent's Big Fat Assault

"[It's] ... cultural depravation in its most vulgar and displeasing-to-look-at form. It's suicide as a lifestyle." --Ted Nugent

During an interview with celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, the notoriously opinionated singer went off on obesity in the United States.

His comment may be harsh, but to an extent true. I was once overweight and I've since changed my diet/exercise plan and I've lost 50 lbs, working on the last 10. I understand a certain percentage of obesity is caused by genetics and other health issues, but honestly a huge portion could be prevented. How many people, especially overweight people, do you personally know who eat healthy? Not very many I assume. I think both skinny and overweight people need to work on their diets and daily routines, but sitting around and name calling regardless of what side your on is pointless.

Right on Ted! Just one more example of the pussification of America; people get upset and start whining when someone says something dead on. F political correctness!

right on sister soldier.

I too am not thin and you know what... I work out too, and eat healthfully, and count calories and work two jobs and play with my child and you know what it doesn't matter.

I have been and will always be not thin. And you know what anyone with a problem including Mr. Nugent and Chef Bourdain can suck it.

It has NOTHING to do with anyone else. It has to do with me. I don't criticize you for being too thin or having bad hair or not knowing how to dress or behave or how treat other people in the world. But maybe I should... I mean that is clearly working for all of you right?

Eat shit and die... anyone who can cast the first stone.

Yeah...ok. SURE you eat right and work out. What...like once a year? You actually have to do it EVERY DAY fatass. I've lost 90 pounds in the last year...and do you know how I did it? Get ready now because this is going to floor you....I ate less and exercised every day. There is NO possible way that if you eat correctly and exercise every day that you're still a fatass. So go sell that crap to someone who'll believe it sister. Nothing stings more than the truth, and the truth is, you're fat and don't care enough to change. Quit whining at everyone else like it's our fault you're disgusting and take some responsibility for your life.

Ted's a freaking idiot. Never cared for his music, his politics and now his thoughts on Obesity. It's outspoken ignorance like him that defines the term "Ugly American" to the rest of the world. Arrogant, ignorant and doesn't care who he insults.

Do you want to be a pig? Then wolf it down die like a pig. Do you want to starve dead? Then do it! But if you buy a burger and eat only half of it, waste the rest, I want to make you a refugee in Sudan or where there is Famine. Smell it!

Ted is the man! Being fat is like smoking, its bad for you and Ted's right it's quite often a slow form of quasi suicide! And whine about genetics and thyroid problems all you want but most often its because the person simply lacks the self disipline to forego the bit of pleasure they receive in stuffing a ho-ho into their fat pie hole. BEING FAT IS NOT A DISEASE, ITS A CHOICE! And preach on brother Ted, its a displeasing-to-look-at choice! I'll be seeing you in Vegas at the House of Blues - Rock on Uncle Ted!

Obesity is NOT always a choice...
I have worked in poverty stricken areas where there is LITTLE food and the majority of people in those communities are obese. WHY? Because they can only afford to buy cheap,low quality food that is riddled
with carbs, sugar and fat. They cannot afford to buy healthy food per se and as a result, the little food they eat makes them obese. Check the stats..its true!
