Andrew gets people's take on the fat acceptance movement and whether society should accept overweight people the way they are and forget any notion of whether it's healthy, a factor of genetics or lifestyle, etc.
"The fat acceptance movement, also known as fat pride, fat empowerment, and fat activism, is a social movement which seeks to eliminate the social stigma of obesity from social attitudes by pointing out the obstacles which are faced by fat people to those who are less fat. Areas of contention include the aesthetic, legal, and medical approaches to fat people." - wikipedia

Hey Andrew, I've been a fan of your videos since 2016-17. Keep it going, I hope you find your footing and land in success once again.
Nice video
Hello Andrew,
Just wanted to let you know that you've always managed to make me laugh and smile on my darkest of times.
You might not know me in person and you might not even see this comment but I just wanted to let you know.
You're a great guy and I just wanted to thank you for always being there for me.
Thank you so much,
Alex
dude just didnt play "baby got back" by the musican of choice : dr jordan peterson.. people will remember
“Healthy at any size” is the ultimate lie to one’s self. The level of denial this country is in about obesity is wild, lol.
It's been like that since forever
The level of denial this country is in about a lot of things is wild
A bit of nuance could go a long way.
Yes being morbidly obese i never healthy. That being said you can be overweight and healthy (just look at defensive football players for example) just as you can be normal weight with an extremely unhealthy diet.
There is also an issue with doctors blaming health issues on weight instead of actually examining their patients, which can result in health issues being undiagnosed and untreated.
In the end, people should exercise and move regularly as well as eat healthy and not focus so much on weight.
its so crazy how delusional americans are
No, it hasn’t been that way forever. Look at pictures of people from the 70s compared to now. You just grew up in a fat world and you don’t know any better.
The blonde girl halfway through says you can be healthy at any size, but in the same breath also says that if you gain 100 pounds you won't be around as long... So she just admitted that you are less healthy at a larger size.
exactly. bunch of hypocrites.
Bimbo doesn’t know wtf she’s saying 🤦♂️
classic npc behaviour
Literally an npc
Jesus Christ chill people it’s not that deep lol
10:03 hahaha damn i didnt expect andrew to give it to him straight like that
seriously 😂
😂😂😂😂
"the real life every day, we can live we can eat we can"
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
😂
*THIS IS THE PROBLEM:* Listen to her response first at 5:16 "Do you think people can be healthy at any size"? She says "I do".
THEN listen to the last thing she said when he asked her what she'd do if her husband gained 50 lbs 5:30 ". . . BUT health-wise I want you to be around a long time too".
She clearly knows being overweight/obese is NOT healthy, but she originally claimed it was, for the camera.
Andrew (sneakily) got her to admit the truth. Well done Andrew. We all know being fat is NOT HEALTHY. I can't believe this is even a debate lmao.
Good breakdown. People are not willing to speak the truth anymore in fear of persecution. It's the preliminary step to absolute control by the state. ALWAYS SPEAK TRUTH
@@KnowMotivation 100% agreed
Who give af about being healthy, we all gotta die. Plus you can be healthy and still get shot and die, so we got bigger issues than being fat given kids die more from guns than anything.
*sips drink*
noticed the same thing, too
Those 3 guys at 8:45 stole the whole show 😂😂😂
As an obese dude myself, I’m slowly trying to lose weight and better myself.
Obesity is NOT healthy, no matter how you want to look at it.
If we’re talking “looks” wise, sure, it’s understandable to be okay with that. But it’s in no way healthy.
Your mentality is healthy
Proud of you! ❤
Right. Or if you choose to risk the poor health and are ok with it then yeah it's a free country so that's "ok". But the problem arises when people try to convince others that being overweight poses no health risks
I used to be 297, and went down to 154 as my lightest. Being obese caused a lot of health problems, mental health declined to the lowest. Depressed all the time, eating bullshit day in and day out. It’s tough staying healthy too, but it’s worth it to live longer, be happier and love myself more than I ever have.
size doesn't matter *that* much in health. obviously if you have a lot of fat around your heart and stuff clogging your veins that's an issue, but im also fat and have a lower blood pressure than most people that aren't even close to my size. focus on how your body feels, not a number on a scale. if you can move around freely and be fit at 250 and you can't lose more without going extreme, be happy at that level. if you can lose more then you should, but don't focus on that number. listen to your body.
Id imagine that 99% of people who were overweight or obese and lost their weight would adamantly say no.
I lost about 70 lbs, dropping from morbidly obese into the normal range. You feel a lot better and self-image benefits are astronomical. At the very least, one less thing to be depressed about. I can't speak for everyone, but most people have the same capability. Genetics seem blown out of proportion as an excuse these days.
@@5th_progenator_reesecobar758 what really urks me is people willingly falling victim to their genetics. If you clearly have some sort of genetic issue that hardens the process of losing weight but they still try regardless? Mad respect.
I went from 6'0" 230lbs to 165lbs and my life changed dramatically. Been overweight for my entire childhood and teen years because of a cortisone treatment. I decided to get in shape at the age of 27 and my life has completely 180'd.
Size acceptance is a meme. Being overweight is not healthy both physically and mentally and whoever tells you it is is either coping or has never dealt with the social and physical consequences of being fat.
@@sr.365 I like statement of one doctor: "genetics is like a gun but you are the one who pulls trigger."
I was obese and lost 70lbs through diet and exercise. I think a lot of people try too hard to get quick results and lose motivation. It needs to be a sustained lifestyle change, not a crash diet.
8:53 Dude grabbed his hip the way he reacted killed me 😂
Dude was wildin’ for doing that, OG was finna throw hands 💀😂
"It's a real life every second everytime" -wise words
that guy was hjilarious
“It’s a real life everything, every day, every time. We can live, we can eat….every time, every day”
Those last interviewees would be great for any serious life advice or guidance. Such profound responses.
Can’t tell if you’re being for real or joking because I’m pretty 3 out of 3 were homeless and ol boyo in the middle was higher than a kite…
2:42 legendary handshake
Andrew classics
reminded me of good old days :)
LOL that was so funny so good
8:12 andrew trying to match their energy is hilarious
3:23 This guy nailed it spot on. Made some great points
I was thinking the same. He doesn’t have the words for everything lol but he has the right info.
Even the connection between food and mental health he made is currently studied by scientists. The food we ingest can increase or decress stress. Foods affects our ability to focus, weather you procrastinate or not and so on.
@@mihaitaghitu this is such a huge deal that not everyone remembers. Diet can of course effect your long term health but it also changes so many things you experience every day. Energy and mood are GREATLY effected by it and so many people that say they are depressed might just need to change their diet and maybe go outside since being in nature has great anti-depressive effects too. Obviously this doesn’t work for all depression but I believe it would help many who tried it.
5:46 "I've noticed that WE'VE gained a lot of weight..." LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah it's kinda funny but it makes sense because she feels so close to her partner, like they are one and she'd be trying to break it gently to him.
@@OptimusPrimeribs true haha. still was a funny one, especially at 5:52 she said she wants her husband to stay around for a long term with her health wise and before she said: "you can be healthy at any size" 🤔
The lady at 5:20 is fully aware that she's lying, but she doesn't care, because that's the PC thing to do. She says she agrees that you can be healthy at any size, but later accidentally says she would be concerned for her partner's health if they became obese. It's a shame people are cancelled or forced to spew blatant lies. Obesity kills, and it's harmful to the whole environment just like smoking is.
She is on copium
Yup, that's a result of a society with an obesity epidemic.
it's the modern day religion, you'll go to hell (social media cancelled) if you sin (say being fat is unhealthy)...so keep in check
I thought the same
Noticed that too
MY FATHER USE TO SAY, " MOST PEOPLE DIG THEIR GRAVES WITH A FORK"😊
That seems illogical. At least use a spoon. It’s more efficient
Seems very hard to do cause forks can't carry much dirt, try using a shovel
@@Mai_TS--_-- WHAT THAT MEANS PEOPLE EAT TOO MUCH FOOD MAKES THEM FAT,OVERWEIGHT, OBESE, UNHEALTHY
@@RandomBogey SPOON OR FORK PEOPLE EAT TO MUCH WILL MAKE YOU FAT AND A EARLY GRAVE⚰
Support LAHWF til the day I die. Happy to see ya falling back to your roots so to say with the question/answer theme. Love you bro... wishing you nothing but success.
Surely his roots are being the DADDY of 'social experiments'
Same
Answer to this whole scenario: How many healthy 300lb 80 year old's do you see walking around?
If someone I cared for suddenly gained weight my first concern would be their mental health. In my experience the two often walk hand in hand
this is so true
Of course only the Black man was able to tell the truth with no filter 😂
Half the stuff he said made no sense.
Good on him. White people are so obsessed with being nice now it's absolutely bizarre.
@@jamesgem1809 You must have bad comprehension skills.
Do you mean the black man at 5:58?
He’s smart af. I bet he’s not racist at all. Never playing the victim card. This guy gets it. Real dude
I have two family members with thyroid problems, and they like to blame their thyroid issues for being overweight, yet they have NEVER gone on a diet and have cut out their junk food intake completely to see if their thyroid issues actually have an effect on their weight.
I feel like people like to hide behind "genetics".
You don't even have to exercise. Just eat healthy and you will lose a consideable amount of weight.
I have a thyroid problem, badly, and I dropped from 315 lbs to 238 and still going. “I have a thyroid problem” is a outright denial in order to cope. It’s easier to accept their weight as undeniable fact instead of something they have done to themselves that will take large, sustained effort to fix. They should ask their doctor if a diet would improve their thyroid health, but will just claim they tried and it didn’t work like you said. Try doesn’t equal did, what they need is someone to hold them accountable and the self-reflection for sustained motivation. A lot of people only get one of those things, many have neither.
If you wanna know how I did it, I didn’t have a personal trainer or anything. Your statement about exercise allowed to be an afterthought is true. I just cut out the foods I knew were bad (ice cream, chocolate pretzels, fried foods) and the weight flew off, even with little to no exercise. I still ate plenty of great food I already enjoyed, still ate out, just not the stuff that was killing me. The only person that ever stopped me was myself.
Fats always find another reason to not lose weight. I hear it from my mom all the time 🙄
8:52 lmaoooo, then Andrew looks towards the camera, so perfect.
I think the distinction needs to be made between "body positivity" and "fat acceptance". Body Positivity is a good thing for society. For example, people should not feel terrible about things like being a bit bony or chubby, having blemishes or stretch marks, or things they can't control like their face, chest, privates, etc. Fat acceptance, however, is not a good thing. Glamorizing obesity, when it is straight up killing people at an alarming rate, is not okay. It's fine being a bit overweight, but once you cross into obesity territory, no that is not healthy no matter what you tell yourself.
This is it right here
Do you feel like people can be healthy at any size? "I do" If your husband gained 50/100 pounds would it be a cause for concern? "Health wise I want you to be around for a long time" Okay lady
Eat a 1800 calorie a day diet of low carb whole foods for 6 months straight, then eat 3000 calories a day of processed foods for 6 months straight and then tell us the difference of how you felt.
Fuck that.
5'7 man who was ridiculously overweight his entire childhood and at heaviest i weighed 237 pounds, No. I was brought up with food as a comfort. I was lazy, slobbish, and ate whenever i felt like it. When i turned 18 i did a lot of unhealthy shit but dropped to about 170 pounds. I was malnourished, dehydrated, and tired all the time. Finally now im a steady 194, powerlifting, feeling great every single morning. Basically what im getting at is that we should not accept people who reach an incredibly unhealthy weight in either direction. Ridiculously fat/skinny and you run severe health and mental issues down the road. Take care of yourself, watch what you eat. Its alright to reward yourself every now and then but dont let it get over the limit. Everything in moderation, even moderation.
Amen!
Amen
Amen
I'm from a country and culture where food is central to our social interactions and a comfort. We are not obese and generally not very overweight and have very high life expectancies. Food is great, food is life and a comfort. The poison many Americans produce and eat is even worse than the unhealthy habits around that food.
@VinnytotheK it was mostly out of dehydration. Again, I lost A LOT OF WEIGHT through very unhealthy manners. It was effective, but severely unhealthy
Great video Andrew happy to see you making content like this again. Keep going! You can be back on top again!
Glad to have you back Andrew. wishing you the best
Andrew..hilarious and constructive as always giving everybody an awesome time, great stuff
“I don’t know if you know what we’re talking about” LMAO otay otay
5:17 "Alex, do you feel like people can be healthy at any size?"
"I do"
also alex "no but I wouldn't be shy in saying something. We've gained a lot of weight.. health wise I want you to be around for a long time."
psh, so funny how she doesn't see she's a hypocrite.
LAHWF you were a big inspiration to me to start making videos. In fact you even gave me a LAHWF wristband in a parking lot in Provo. This is a great video and it made me even happier to see that it’s sponsored. Keep it up!
Oh wow, I love some of your rings and videos. Usually not really excited about jewelry, but you’ve done some crazy stuff.
This interviews are great to expose our reality. Not the reality about fat acceptance, but the reality about how the majority of people are incredibly insecure about having a politically incorrect opinion, while I think almost every person knows the truth and doesn't want to be fat of see their loved ones gaining too much weight. We are full of BS.
thanks to woke cancel culture. professors and teachers lose their jobs because they talk about only 2 biological sexes existing. Well done, left-wing progressive social justice fundamentalism
I'll never forget 7th grade taking the BMI test and being told I'm "moribly obese" bc I'm 6'4, 240 (maybe looked a lil chubby) lmfao. After HS, I got down to 190 and looked super unhealthy, and had zero energy. While I would never encourage someone gaining weight, it really really depends on the person to what your "default weight" is.
6'4, 240 is 29.2 BMI, which is overweight but not even obese, let alone morbidly obese. You would need to weigh 330 to be considered morbidly obese.
@@blablabla1000able I know what I was told, things change, this was 10 years ago. It made me feel horrible
@@ExpertAssass1n Sub 30 has never been morbidly obese. This shit hasn't changed in decades. So someone was wrong there.
@Senpai Torpid DOW my teacher was obese too, maybe it was insecurities. However, I swear on everything, I was told that.
I am 5’9 and 110 lbs. I have lots of energy and exercise daily and eat a lot. Many people would say I should gain weight. I have been trying to eat more recently to “bulk” for weight lifting but haven’t seen very good results.
feel like there’s a lot of people under the misconception that people are being encouraged to be overweight, when in reality they just want to be happy, which isn’t a bad thing. it’s always the people that aren’t overweight constantly telling overweight people to lose weight, as if it’s evil to be fat or something. like why do you care so much about how much someone else weighs lmao. so much of the outrage is driven by people just not minding their own business
the truth is, no matter how much social pressure or cultural change happens, humans will in general still desire healthy body composition in a partner...telling people that size doesn't matter won't change who they're attracted to...and at the end of the day, that's what drives humans behaviour.
right, how dare the the healthy people try to improve the unhealthy peoples health!
@@LukaLegend77 again, don’t understand why you care so much about someone else’s health. assuming they’re cool with it, you’re just mad for no reason
@@julianrandall8215 trying to help means theyre mad? you sound insecure. We are a society as a whole and obesity rising has affects on society as a whole especially with big pharma and retirement
Because it's a massive drain on our healthcare system and economy. We could have a universal healthcare plan if people actually took their health seriously instead of treating their bodies like a carnival sideshow. It's teaching bad habits to kids who will be more likely to also be fat and unhealthy and it looks terrible, which matters. If someone didn't bathe for a week someone would say something. But if another persons gut is hanging down their pants then it's "not nice" to remind them their arteries are clogging up and they're poisoning their bodies. It's really weird that has to even be said. Soon we'll think nothing of someone who's blackout drunk by 10 AM. They're healthy at any blood alcohol level!
Andrew this was great!!! amazing work my man, keep it up!!!
You're the best Andrew!! Love your videos!
“How would you voice it if they gained 100 pounds”
*Slides them an anual gym pass.
good work andrew, love these types of videos
Hey Andrew,
Good to see you back 😊
You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs from day one and I mean your first ever pranks 😂. You are the best, will always be there for you!
Greetings from Germany ❤
Good stuff Andrew !
Love your content man!
love these chill vids.
"I don't think you know what we're taking about" 😂😂😂
You've been killing it lately mang! (Not that you don't always kill it)!
"This is real life every day, every time. We can live, we can eat, this is all real life".
you're mentally 13 yo... dude was strung out. probs still sitting on the street sidewalk on something.
@@ByeBaybe He's mentally 13... because he quoted a crackhead. Got it.
congrats on the sponsor! hopefully more of this
the awkward fist bump attempt /handshake fail is a throw back to early LAHWf hahahaha
Keep up the grind bro.
You’re a real dawg. Keep going bro!
Welcome back Andrew
Make a video on skinny acceptance 🥲
i just come to these vids even if i dont have the time to watch just to like ur vids, to keep the algorithm going, keep going at it buddy
09:46 guy on left's tshirt says "anytime anywhere" lol I see where his friend got his catch phrase
Why is it so hard for so many people to accept A) It's wrong to make fun of or discriminate against fat people, and B) it's wrong to perpetuate the lie that being fat is healthy both for the individual and society as a whole.
The last part was hilarious 😂😂😂
“Know what I mean?”
Came from sunnyV2 checkin out the content. Shouts out sunny
That last bit was hilarious.
Hope your doing good man I watch you when I was younger like I watch you maybe 2015 if i remember correct hope it channel grow keep the good work up ❤
Notification gang! Let’s gooooo!
That was the craziest handshake attempt I’ve ever seen!
i just went from 250 to 200 using just a peloton so this video is gonna hit different
I haven’t even watched but I’m going to guess that a lot of young people have been conditioned to say it’s perfectly okay to be morbidly obese.
You're 100% correct. Just look at the younger people walking around, half of them are going off genetics and the other half are slobs and eat what they want and don't care!
yep, gotta keep it pc. you could hurt someones feelings
Rooting for your comeback in 2023!
I love the actual awkward moment at 2:41 Andrew did really not intend that meme hand shaking it happend naturally hahaha
Someone made a meme out of that? lol
Last three were hilarious 😂
3:23 Guy nailed it one, it's genetics and lifestyle, so one rule don't fit everybody. If you got bad genetics you might have to work harder to stay healthy. But it is still worth the effort. The older guy was right too, if you can't walk far without getting short of breath you can't possibly be healthy, happy maybe, but not healthy!
OMG he snuck in an awkward handshake at 2:43 lmaoooo brings me back to the old lahwf days! (:
Lose ur Hope. The vibe is already gone. The times changed. People react normal to cringy things. Mostly. It isnt that funny anymore. Well in Andrews case at least.
5:52 she said it would be a concern because health wise she wants him to be around for a long time, implying that if he’s overweight he’ll be around for less time (which is true) but also said you can be healthy at any weight
Here's the accurate answer: you could probably be healthy across several markers of health if your body composition is higher in body fat %. Conversely, you could be within a "healthy" range of body fat % and have health issues. However, research suggests there is a relationship between health problems the further your bodyfat % deviates from a healthy range (in both the positive and negative direction). It's a touchy subject these days, but that's the truth.
pretty straight forward....lol
Most popular youtube channels these days are biased in one way or the other when it comes to this format. Thanks for keeping it real brother. You got some mad conversational skills
nice video, more stuff coming up?? minute 02:43 weird handshake !!! haha
Something it's taken me a long time to learn is that people generally go through cycles, food is a universal ccomfort (that's why there's a category of food called comfort food) and often you can find those who are struggling with things going on in their lives will generally just eat a little bit more than they should and take a little less time to work on themselves as they're mentally not focused on their appearance.
2:44 So the awkward handshake is more of a genetic with you! 😂😂
That handshake miss 😂 2:44
It feels so good to be healthy and strong. To know that I'm capable of far more than the minimums of everyday life. There's so many people who've never experienced that, and it sucks. I want everyone to. Once you know, you know and there's no forgetting it.
My understanding of the size acceptance movement is that they want fat people to not be seen as less than for merely being fat. Unfortunately that often gets misconstrued into "being fat is morally good, preferable, healthy". It really just comes down to societal beauty standards and currently being fat is seen as unattractive/less than by enough people for a movement like this to exist
yeah as long as we convince people they are victims we can get them to vote for democrats. fat people are victims too!
That’s exactly it, fat people have been seen as less than human for a long time, that’s where fat acceptance spawns from
Lmaoooo your face when the 3 guys started talking about the economy 😂
8:52 🤣😂 AYOOO OG pissed
I love you Andrew ❤
2:44 I love this handshake 😍🤣
I dont think people can be healthy at any size, but i also feel like we should just be nicer to people in general, i saw Lizzo was thinking of quitting music because of the hate she gets for her size and that made me sad.
Yes to be kind goes along way, not fake kind... And try offer advice when it's hinted at, or asked?
Awesome intro haha
It makes no sense at all. I was overweight. I have lost a lot of weight since then, but the medical problems have remained and will stay with me for the rest of my life, even though I am now almost at a normal weight.
It’s the same concept with ex smokers, many still have health complications despite quitting..it’s permanent damage
my grandma smoked for 65-70 years and is fine at 92 except eyesight lol
we think weight is a main reason because people talk so much about it. Its rarely the main reason. Like when my knee started to hurt i immediately thought it was because i gained some weight but it wasnt.
love u andrew
2:43 oh no not again, PAIN
Awkward chess handshake moment bro....
2:42 oof man, that handshake remind me of awkward chess handshake.
Most of these people are either lying or completely delusional. If a friend of mine suddenly gains 100 pounds that is very much a concern. If people really think this way then no wonder our society is going to hell.
The thing about an emergent truth is that it is true regardless of what anyone thinks or feels about it. Being a lazy bum and overweight is unhealthy. That is a universal fact.
Society has become so strange. People are scared to say the truth, aka being overweight isn't healthy, out of fear of offending people.
nah you cant say someone is unhealthy unless you know the blood and doctors results.
keep it up I hope u get success
I love these
It doesn’t matter if it’s unhealthy to be fat. Shame doesn’t work…so let’s stop shaming people.
I love this content
When we consider most heart attack patients are generally carrying excess weight, it’s a pretty clear answer
The 3 amigos were lit up.
Being overweight is on average not as healthy as being slim, but the part of fat acceptance that I get behind is that no one deserves to be dehumanized because of their size. Treat everyone with the same default level of respect basically
I’ve always been thin. Always struggled to gain weight. I guess I don’t eat as much as others are eating. I deliver groceries for a living which is a lot of cardio burning calories and I may be burning more than I put in. But I can’t imagine being in a largely overweight body. Breaking chairs. Struggling to find nice clothes. Taking up two or more seats on a plane. All the humiliation. The inability to hike or do activities. You’re pretty much confined to a lazy boy at a certain point with Netflix or games as the only thing you can do for fun. Screw that. We need to keep an eye on our health. If we lose control, we lose a life of experiences. People who lose weight are always so much happier when they are no longer a prisoner in their own bodies! I watched those weight loss shows growing up and could see it and the positive effects being healthy has as opposed to just being fat and accepting it. I hope everyone struggling with their weight gets to their peak health whether they eat too much or too little. It’s hard but don’t we want to put the work in to be the best version of ourselves?
its better to be thin than fat I'd say
An interesting tidbit is the relevance of the gut microbiome. The particular ecosystem of the gut can make a massive difference on what size you are, among many other things, to the point that receiving a fecal transplant from an obese person can make a slim recipient develop obesity. In a situation like this the persons original gut bacteria were possibly consuming a large amount of their consumed calories or I imagine more likely the new gut bacteria induced cravings in the recipient for their preferred nutrient types (for example sugars found in junk foods) thus proliferating the new gut bacteria further and exacerbating the process.
