Because of ignorance, we often attribute to good genes—and therefore good luck—fruits of things such as exercise, reading, meditation, and fasting.

The fact that they might still be alive in 5, 25, or even 50 years’ time is not enough to motivate fools to look after their bodies.

Not making fun of fat people is good for their self-esteem but bad for their health.

He who makes fun of a short and fat man’s weight is much less cruel than he who makes fun of his height.

More often than not, expecting to lose weight without first losing the diet that made the weight loss necessary is like expecting a pig to be spotless after hosing it down while it was still rolling in mud.

Some people would fall in or out of love with you if you lose or gain a few kilos.
