Google Maps "Shaming" Fatties

Google Maps is removing a feature that tells people how many calories they’ll burn taking a certain route after a backlash from fatties who think everything's a personal attack on them.

Good feature if you ask me, anything getting people to think about their health and fitness a bit more is positive in my book.

Don't like it. Calories burned would vary depending on a lot of factors such as the size of the person and how brisk the walk was. Surely the amount of mini muffins would vary depending on the type of muffin and recipe used. At what point does a mini muffin become a muffin? Who died and made Google the boss of what makes a muffin mini?

Walking time varies person to person but it's still a handy feature.

I know mate, I'm just being a ****.

Could have done a range of snack foods.

I'd be happy knowing it was the median mini muffin and the median mini muffin eater's calories burned.

That works for people who want to lose weight. If you said this burns .... calories, it doesn't make much sense to many people. If you convert it into their favourite treat and say this exercise burns off a glass of wine/Mars bar/packet of crisps, then it helps motivate them both for exercise and to give up eating/drinking as much crap.

Ridiculous over-reaction.

Fatties always blaming everyone else for their lack of self control, fat freaks.

Agree completely. People are idiots.

Wonder how many of those are the quotes fromfatties who feel sick at the thought of missing out on a few cup cakes.

You seen the proportion of adults that have excess weight? People who are of "normal" BMI are the freaks.

 

[Slow joe]

I don't know why people give such a fuck what other people weigh, look like, wear, just get on with your life, if someone's fat so fuck.

Nothing unusual there then.

Nonsense

Because society is currently paying for an epidemic of obesity related diseases which has to be paid for.

Do you drink? Or smoke?

Ya fat lazy fuck

Nonsense

If something is freakish it's abnormal.

Excess weight is at about 65%. There will be a small percentage that will be underweight too, not sure what that percentage is though. I think it's safe to say that only around a third of adults in England are of normal weight.

That's the exception now, that's abnormal. Freaks.

This. Most people have absolutely no idea how many calories are in something, and they have even less idea about just how much exercise you need to burn it.

Here we go

At least they only inhale pastry when they're depressed instead of having to give themselves a clip for attention.
