Fat Storage in Inappropriate Locations; a Showcase Ok... so we all know the fucking disaster that is the Slaton face. But there are many examples of obscure malformations in obeasts that lead to other unexpected fat deposits. Here are some of the more disgusting/fascinating ways the human body struggles to cope with obesity, by storing the surplus fat anywhere it can make room. Let's take a look, shall we? What's worse than a double, triple, or quadruple chin? The facial blubber sling Again, when rolls don't prove to increase storage on some bodies, an unbalanced swollen mass is all that is left. The extremes of backfat are especially curious when you realize that the body has created "back boobs" in order to cope with the fat, in a balanced yet entirely backwards manner for the human body Some obese bodies store to the extreme evenly, but some bodies seem to isolate one part of the body for all fat storage, leaving entire limbs behind for later use if the surplus continues.  These obese bodies are unable to adapt to the changes and balloon out unevenly, creating mounds and lobes on what should be a smooth surface. These obeasts are unable to support the weight, and it "falls" resulting in pulling susceptible parts downwards. These are two individuals, each with a massive "excoriated panniculus" for example. Here is a combination of what happens when the body begins creating lobes of fat, which are also being dragged downwards by the mass. These look akin to unchecked tumours, but are pure, gelatinous adipose. In some extreme cases, the body becomes so desperate for storage space that the body will entirely forego bilateral symmetry which is a hallmark of all faunal earth species. Fat will simply move to one side of the body, which is an unnatural case that happens to this severe degree only in severe cases. Sometimes, an obese body can tell you quite a bit about the habits of the entity itself. A prime example is that the fat will mould itself to shape the most prevalent habitat: beds and/or sofas. In this case, you can see how the fat is pooling around the body, flattening itself and spreading outwards from the source, shaping itself to match the shape of the surface on which is spends 99% of it's time. These effects are so severe, that they are permanent even upon changing position. As we can see, obesity can morph the previously human body into exaggerated and unnatural shapes, that stress bodily mechanisms into failure. And half the time, we have no idea what we are looking at when examining the worst of the worst. It really shows how powerful and desperate nature's creations can be, never giving up on finding a way to exist in the worsening conditions of it's own existence. It is such a dishonour to the human body, when we see how much it tries to help us, how much it tries to make things work so we can continue living. The human body deserves much more respect and appreciation, and all too often the body is seen as a disposable, infinite source that, since it can cope with horrible conditions, should have to on a daily basis. And this is just the OUTSIDE of these bodies. My intent with this post is to de-normalize obesity by showcasing these preventable disfigurements, putting on a "freakshow" as it were to present the opposite of normal. Now, unlike instances of microcephaly or ectrodactyly which are understandably accidental genetic mutations, obesity is a chosen and preventable malformation that should continue to be outed as freakish and unnatural, frightening, dangerous, and something to be avoided. These bodies are not normal. They are not okay. They look horrible, because they are horrible. They look wrong, because the behaviour that created them is wrong. They look diseased and damaged, because that is exactly what is happening on the inside of these bodies. Ostracism like this is crucial for survival for many species.  In the animal kingdom as well as in primitive human societies, ostracism can lead to death due to the lack of protection benefits and access to sufficient food resources from the group. Living apart from the whole of society also means not having a mate, so being able to detect ostracism would be a highly adaptive response to ensure survival and continuation of the genetic line. s The resources of food, protection, and mates, are highly valuable and should be preserved for active, healthy, contributing members of a pack, herd, or tribe. Many animal species will cull their own populations through ostracism in order to get rid of sick, weak, or dangerous members that pose a threat to the rest of the population. Animals that have dangerous conditions that would weaken a herd if reproduced are not able to mate so that their deficiency is not passed onto vulnerable generations. Animals with severe injuries that begin to fester are chased out to prevent disease from spreading within the herd and to avoid attracting predators. Animals living in times of difficulty will reject those who would take too many resources without contributing protection or offspring, because they can not afford to give away resources that are needed for the young to grow and the strong to mate. For a while, humans became so adept at controlling environmental pressures, that they all but disappeared. While we suffer natural disasters like tsunamis, the rain no longer bothers us. We can live comfortably in -40 weather. We can grow tropical food in arctic climates. We can take down animals 10 times our size with ease. The accidental mutations we still see such as dwarfism or downs or heart murmurs or inherit deafness are now either treatable with medical science or pose no threat to the population. It seemed that we were immune to any danger that we did not create ourselves. Well, now we created a new danger, all by ourselves. We created obesity, and it is threatening our species. I don't need to tell you the dangers obesity has on society, future generations, current generations, economies, and the medical world. We need to cull our herd by ostracizing once again, protect our communities by rejecting obesity, and allow the natural course of death to take these risky bodies away from us so that we may exist. edit: spelling/grammar Eyebleach Normal bodies are still out there. Human bodies are still the most attractive bodies. Not everyone is susceptible to excuse-making. Keep yourself healthy, keep yourself human. ???
