Hamplanets complaining about "slow metabolism" I realized today this complaint tells you all you need to know about why they're fat.  They see being able to function normally on fewer calories (meaning less food) than regular people as a BAD thing.  This roughly translates to hamplanets simply loving food too much.   In reality, having a "slow"* metabolism should be a good thing if it doesn't affect you any other way.  You can spend less money on food and less time on eating.  But since nothing is better than eating for them, they see it as a bad thing.  It's like complaining about only needing 4 hours of sleep every night.  This should be a good thing, but if you're a lazy fuck who wants to do nothing but sleep and eat, then it's bad. *yes I know there is no such thing as a slow metabolism.
