My theory as to why fats are less intelligent I was inspired by this study, which proves not only the correlation between obesity and low intelligence, but the cause; it concludes that low intelligence causes obesity. Big shock, right? (heavy levels of sarcasm) I was still really excited to find a more empirical study on the matter, that proved causation rather than just correlation. And it's gotten me thinking in an abstract, not-really-scientific way. Here are my ramblings. I'm fascinated by early childhood development studies as a hobby, and I've found that intelligence is 49% genetic, and 51% based upon external stimuli; obviously the most long-term and impactful stimuli are experienced in the earlier developmental stages of human growth. Most fats are not intelligent; the above study is one of many that prove this, and it's really common sense. Only the weak-minded can succumb to such fat-logic (so 70% of the American population is mentally retarded, basically), and the educated/enlightened (I add "enlightened" because many Tubblrinas are technically "educated") know better than to either become fat or date a fatty. Thus, fatties tend to reproduce similarly mentally unfit children. These kids do not receive the genetic gift of intelligence, and so they depend heavily on experiences to shape them and educate them. So, they still have a good shot at being intelligent. HOWEVER, more common sense and an overwhelming amount of anecdotal evidence suggest (coughcoughPROVE-BEYOND-ANY-DOUBT) that fatties believe parenting to be "plopping lil' Johnny in front of Uncle Television for six hours with a Lunchables and a pack of Oreos".  Children need lots of exposure to grow up healthy: they need to be socialized to learn social skills and politesse; they need to go to parks and be let loose in the great outdoors to explore on their own and foster curiosity; they need to be an active participator in their learning, which could involve going to children's museums or zoos; they need to have parents who answer their questions while encouraging independent thinking, so that the children question the dogma and don't succumb to a hive-mind. Yet, fat parents can do none of this. They have abhorrent social skills and no manners; they don't have the physical fortitude to accompany their children anywhere, be it a park or even a backyard; and, perhaps most tragically of all, they feed children the same bullshit logic that they themselves believe, causing the cycle to repeat itself.  Sorry, this was a long rant that got nowhere... I'm not a science person. I genuinely believe that all fats should be given a year to lose weight if they want to have a baby, and then, once they become humans, their IUDs or whatever can be removed and they can pop out babies to their heart's content. If a parent becomes fat, the kid gets removed for child abuse. Anyone who protests this obviously just cares more about their weight than their children.
