<description>&lt;p&gt;According to another article, obesity as a result of metabolic, endocrine or idiopathic processes total less than 5% of all obese people. Not 40% as stated above.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;P.S. For those who hijacked the thread, I offer you this (from the American Family Physician medical journal).

 Classification of Obesity

Obesity can be classified as primary or secondary. Primary obesity is the result of caloric intake that exceeds the body&apos;s metabolic rate under normal conditions. Secondary obesity is usually the result of an underlying medical condition that decreases the body&apos;s metabolic rate. Although secondary causes of obesity, such as hypothyroidism, hypogonadism and hypercortisolism, are important diagnostic considerations, the vast majority of obese patients have idiopathic primary obesity.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;if you look closely, there is an autograph over the right boob. this means she has worn this top to other games and has ball players touch it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;No one has yet explained to me what genetic predisposition or medical condition is forcing her to wear those shoes!!

Or that hideous top.  I mean it&apos;s blue but that&apos;s it&apos;s only redeeming feature (and yes, of course it draws attention to her boobs, but frankly hooters that huge are damned hard to disguise).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;The ability to comment on articles, blogs and flickr photos makes Mal-haters think they have some sort of power to change the world. As if wars will stop and famine will cease if we only say nice things about each other.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I find it very inspiring how easily Malingering&apos;s detractors are drawn off-sides.  Call it what you will, whether insulting or distasteful you Mal-haters just keep coming back time and time again.  At some point you have to ask yourself, who has the real problem here?  Social commentary comes in many forms and while I have to say I find some of Malingering&apos;s photos painful and her commentary occasionally brutal, I know what I&apos;m doing when I surf there even if I agree or disagree.  You however are saying, &quot;smell this! Ooh!  It stinks!  Smell it again! Yuck!  Keep smelling this, it stinks!&quot;  I find this behavior rather psychotic.  If it stinks, GO AWAY!

It&apos;s no less psychotic than my getting up to root for the Ranger&apos;s every other day.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Okay, this is coming from me - a fat chick with big hooters and a navel ring, who often wears capris and high(ish) heeled sandals in the summer time:

She looks trashy.  The fat isn&apos;t even the issue.  Actually, if she would put her shirt on, and wear some kind of shoe a little less fmp-like, she&apos;d look just fine.  However, like it is, she looks like she should be standing on a corner, not in the middle of a ball field.  Sure, it&apos;s fun to look a little trashy sometimes, but lets keep it out of public view, mkay?

Mal&apos;s just calling it like it is.  If you run around like this in public, you gotta have a thick enough skin to take the ridicule it&apos;s bound to bring.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;To Go Matt (aka yppy20/roger):

Wow, I&apos;m impressed. I blocked you on Flickr, I removed you from my blog, and now you&apos;ve found me here. I get the point. You disagree with what I do. How many ways are you going to say it?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;You know, I also read the initial post and thought it was a commentary on the silly idea of wearing high heels to walk on turf - turf which will have to be repaired because the heels puncture it, and WHITE heels which will more than likely be ruined because of dirt and/or grass stains. 

Some of the folks who are reading it as an anti fatty diatribe desperately need a hobby. 

Really. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Matt for making some good arguments and standing up for people, somebody needs to do it. But the girl that writes these things will never back down, she&apos;s convinced herself she can do no wrong. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I just re-read your post. I mis-read it the first time. I was wondering how you could find statistics on the percentage of people who were fat because of medical conditions vs. those who were fat because they are gorging themselves.

Now stop picking on the fat people and start picking on the stupid ones who respond to posts before reading them carefully.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Regardless of where you got your dubious statistics, 40% of people is a large percentage of them to be catching crap for the other 60% who have only themselves to blame. 

OK, I apologize to everyone else for the hijacking. Humph. That lady. You would think they would have someone posted at the field entrances to check people&apos;s shoes. Any woman who has been to a wedding in a park knows that&apos;s a good way to twist an ankle.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Supercramp, give me a friggin&apos; break. First, read Phil&apos;s post.

Thank you for the listing of all the diseases and sicknesses that might cause someone to be fat. I assume that the prevalence of these conditions is higher in the U.S. than anywhere because.........oh, because we&apos;re the unhealthiest &quot;Western&quot; country in the world. 

Yes, some people are fat because they can&apos;t help it and it is indeed unfortunate but the 60% of Americans who are obese or overweight are that way because they can&apos;t stop gorging on food.

All sorts of people, regardless of their backgrounds have certain bad hands dealt to them. It&apos;s whether they accept it and try to transcend that or they use it as an instrument for self-pity and no action.

By the way, I do stand up in the bus, almost always. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;The majority of obese people do not have medical conditions, the ones with REAL medical problems are few and far between. I do feel for people that have a medical condition that make them fat. But let us not kid ourselves, most people are fat because of one reason: They eat too much and do not exercise enough. I am tired of the over weight population trying to blame everyone and everything for their problems. There will never be a magic pill and surgery has become so dangerous many health insurance company&apos;s will not cover it.
This picture is a pretty good representation of American girth. She is not morbidly obese but she has a bit too much to show. You can even see that her second row of tits are starting to grow. 
I am a self proclaimed chubby chaser, I love my women round and feel that women should have curves. And that there is nothing wrong with her showing it off, but do not go out in public like this and not exspect people to point and look.
But that is just how I feel, if you disagree that is your problem; not mine.
God I love a good bitch so early.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I find the whole idea of wearing heels to a game hilarious.  Just the thing for hiking across the parking lot from your car.  Still, she&apos;d only be ruining her own feet.  Here she could be wrecking a future game if she actually makes it to the playing part of the field.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I guess it got hijacked, but I thought the post was about the lady&apos;s dumb-ass shoes and the vandalism-grade damage they inflict on the field.

(The outfit is pretty ridiculous, too, in my view, but what do I know, I&apos;m a fogey.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Nobody is tripping on William&apos;s comments?

I NEVER get to put my elbow on the airplane rest because some man always assumes it&apos;s his right to own the elbow rest. And to take up half of my row with his freakishly long legs that he splays out sideways because there is no leg room. Airplane seats are getting smaller. Let&apos;s hassle the tall people! Let&apos;s make them get operations to shorten their legs to fit in airplane rows.

I have never seen fat people riding in bigger cars. Where did that come from? I usually see gym-obsessed soccer moms with dogs in them. Let&apos;s get rid of children and dogs! And groceries! What do you drive?

Public transport? I never see people sitting comfortably next to each other. Maybe they need to make benches istead of those weird plastic ass-cups to keep anyone from being comfortable (or got forbid, lying down).

Yes, it is horrific to have people eating burgers complaining that they can&apos;t lose weight. But remember when you smoked? Before you quit? No one could tell you when it was time to stop. You had to be ready. They have issues.

There is also some heredity at play. People can work within the high or low end of their physical capability, and should try to stay as low as they can healthfully. But some women&apos;s lowest achievable weight is just 150. Period. They can work out every day and live on salads, but that&apos;s the hand they were dealt.

Plus, many medical conditions and medications make you puff up (Remember Jerry Lewis?). Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics can make you gain 50 pounds. Diabetes, insulin, and its medications can alter your weight drastically. Without you changing a thing.

People with spinal problems, fibromyalgia, nerve damage and a hundred other horrible diseases you probably don&apos;t give a fuck about are unable to exercise, which also piles on the weight. 

The weight gained by the meds, illnesses, disabilities etc. make it harder and more painful to move, so then it becomes a vicious cycle.

So give these people a break. If you&apos;re so perfect, then you&apos;re healthy enough to stand on the bus. If you are nice to the person next to you on the plane one of you can lean the chair back and the other forward, and voila! Elbow space. Most of our pollution is caused by big business. Go crawl up their ass for awhile. And if people complain about their weight, walk away. 

  &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;So, according to mattarmstrong&apos;s brand of social engineering we shouldn&apos;t take photos of certain categories of people, or talk about them unless we share his opinions, and sarcasm isn&apos;t a valid sense of humor. If anything, Malingering should be flattered for someone to think she has such a huge influence on society.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;A few things.

First you said: 
&gt;The comments in the peanut gallery are a window into the nasty body dysmorphia of our image-obsessed city.

Then you said:
&gt;Mal&apos;s column on LAist doesn&apos;t &quot;comment&quot; on this dysmorphic social condition. It doesn&apos;t seek to illuminate or change our biases.

So am I illuminating and exposing biases or not?

Then you linked to my blog and said:

The woman in the photo was kinda &quot;bothered&quot; by her sudden celebrity too. What a shocker! You make fun of people and sometimes they get upset.

You have that all wrong. Sudden celebrity? She was talking about photos of herself that she posted on her own photostream. Maybe you should read the rest of the post.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I think the real question is:

Matt, why does it upset you so much that you feel the need to return here every day to defend yourself? Is my blog the only one on the web that upsets you this much, or do is this a habit of yours?

I&apos;m not going to explain myself, I&apos;m too tired. Here&apos;s my profile page. That&apos;s enough.

<description>&lt;p&gt;I won&apos;t leave them the hell alone because their being fat affects my life. How, you ask?

1. When I&apos;m in an airplane and I have to sit next to someone who should have indeed payed for the whole row and I don&apos;t have anywhere to rest my elbow on the whole way to Paris (or London, or Vegas) because, although the fat person&apos;s elbow isn&apos;t on it, they can&apos;t pull it far enough away for me to slip in there.

2. When I&apos;m on a bus or metro train and there is one seat open and it&apos;s next to a fat person and although they&apos;re not taking up the whole seat, they&apos;re taking up just enough that if I were to sit on the edge next to him/her, it&apos;d feel like a trip to prison rather than a relaxing ride on the public transport.

3. When I&apos;m living here and I have to deal with the exhaust fumes and enviornmental damage that is caused by a fat person&apos;s need for an enormous Suburban or Expedition or Excursion to not only fit them but fit their whole family who is probably also fat because you know damn well they can&apos;t fit in a Civic.

4. Finally, having to see and hear them complain about how hard it is to lose weight while they&apos;re gorging on some cheeseburgers, Fritos, and Diet Cokes - it just pisses me off.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;um matt did you seriously say that mal doesn&apos;t ridicule the breast-implant &quot;dysmorphism&quot; (or whatever the hell you were talking about?)  there&apos;s an laist article that states otherwise.

anyway these pix are just a look around.  also she can&apos;t control what others say either.  free country, buddy.

and no one is coming to her defense.  you&apos;re just annoying so everyone wants a slap at you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Caroline:

That Mal deliberately set out to provoke anger, and that she rendered her subject faceless in the process are not arguments in her favor.

William: 

I don&apos;t have any problem with calling people &quot;fat.&quot; But your particular brand of social engineering is already pretty well-established and it ain&apos;t working. There&apos;s no evidence that fat people are likely to become thin due to social &quot;stigmatization&quot; and &quot;making them feel like shit.&quot; So why don&apos;t you just leave them the hell alone? &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;So....fat people are called fat. I know, it&apos;s really mean but seriously, so what? Maybe it&apos;s about time somebody said something other than some euphemistic bullshit that seeks to ameliorate an obviously unhealthy way of living. Just as we&apos;ve done with smokers, when the facts weren&apos;t enough, we just made them feel like shit and stigmatized their habit. As a former smoker, I don&apos;t condone that but if that&apos;s what will cause weak-willed people to stop eating everything fucking thing that they come across, then so be it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;This experiment wasn&apos;t nearly as successful as I&apos;d hoped. I will have to work on the troll bait. Or maybe Friday night is a bad trolling night.

The only person I successfully pissed off was someone who wrote to me in private, so that didn&apos;t even work.&quot;

That was Mal&apos;s comment on the first picture you referenced.  Clearly she knows that she brings out a lot of angry criticism... she was doing that one on purpose just to raise people&apos;s ire.  You&apos;ll notice that she eliminated the face from the woman in that picture as well...

<description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry Caroline, but that&apos;s not a very persuasive defense. Yes Mal&apos;s photos are taken in public, but nobody asked to be the &quot;object&quot; of her predatory gaze. I&apos;m glad that your obese mother wears clothes that &quot;flatter&quot; her figure, but the &quot;fashion&quot; advice that Mal and her jeering fans offer is really a sideshow. The main event can be found all over her photostream...

Perhaps you missed this one (thoughtfully titled &quot;What will kill her first?&quot;)...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/malingering/385213906/

(Yeah I know Mal claims that it was all a big &quot;joke.&quot; But I&apos;m sure all that meta, self-referentiality was lost on the fat girl she&apos;s ridiculing.)

Is this more fashion advice?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/malingering/197747798/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/malingering/125140597/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/malingering/255606518/

Throughout the photostream there&apos;s a curious mixture of fetishistic voyeurism (just how close can her 4x optical zoom get to an unsuspecting asscrack?) and dubious moral panic. You know-- faux concern for the &quot;obesity&quot; problem, the sexualization of little girls, etc. But anyone who is paying attention can see that the point is to mock and ridicule people. 

The body image fascists own a lot of real estate in Hollywood. That&apos;s one reason why we have so many eating-disordered, plastic-surgery disasters walking the streets. Mal&apos;s column on LAist doesn&apos;t &quot;comment&quot; on this dysmorphic social condition. It doesn&apos;t seek to illuminate or change our biases. Instead, it is yet another symptom. Mal&apos;s captions and her many self-defenses sound like the ultimate overbearing mother who tells you (always out of &quot;concern&quot;) that your dress makes you look fat. Or that those shoes make you look like a slut. Do we really need someone to do this professionally? Can&apos;t LAist leave this bit of poisonous social programming to the rest of the Hollywood image factory?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Lots of people are doing a pretty good job of defending Mal here (herself included) but let me just point out one more thing.

She doesn&apos;t make a habit of making fun of people&apos;s bodies - as you seem to suggest.  But rather how they choose to *dress* those bodies.  My mother has struggled with obesity for many years now, but you&apos;ll never find her in one of Mal&apos;s photostreams because she knows what does and does not flatter her body type and dresses herself accordingly.  It&apos;s the clothes.  You may not have a choice about your body type, but you do have a choice about what you wear.  Anyone who has watched Stacy and Clinton turn a misguided fashion victim into a stunner on &quot;What Not To Wear&quot; knows the power clothing has on your image.

The people who end up in Mal&apos;s pictures dress for attention - you can&apos;t say that they don&apos;t.  Showing a lot of skin or making prominent clothing choices (whether obese or anorexic or anywhere in between) is asking people to look at you.  Which we all do.  Don&apos;t blame the lens for something the object has total control over.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;No fat people here: http://www.laist.com/2007/04/26/ugg_enough.php

Couldn&apos;t call her flabby if I tried:

No mention of body habitus in this one:

<description>&lt;p&gt;Mal sez:

&quot;I have almost 12,000 photos on my Flickr stream. The majority of them are not of fat, flab, or asses. Those are just the ones that seem to upset you. I&apos;m not sure what is upsetting you so much; one woman&apos;s silly photos seem to bother you quite a bit.&quot;

Exactly. I&apos;m not bothered by the vast majority of the photos in your Flickr stream. I&apos;m only bothered by the ones you&apos;re justifiably infamous for. Come on, Mal. You know the ones-- the photos where you train your camera on the perceived physical faults of unsuspecting Angelenos. You know, ones like this doozy that you titled &quot;If all that were allowed to disperse into the appropriate areas, it would look okay...&quot;

http://www.therealmalingering.com/2007/04/12/allow-me-to-rant-for-a-minute-here/

The woman in the photo was kinda &quot;bothered&quot; by her sudden celebrity too. What a shocker! You make fun of people and sometimes they get upset.

Hell, you even make it easy to find the really &quot;funny&quot; pictures of fat people. Here&apos;s a whole set tagged with the keyword &quot;obese.&quot;

http://www.flickr.com/photos/malingering/tags/obese/

And I love the little boxes we can superimpose onto your images, putting our uhhh...commentary.. directly onto the lucky person&apos;s body.

You claim that the &quot;point&quot; of your photos is to offer us a window into the LA obsession with &quot;perfect&quot; bodies. But your images, captions and cheering section are the gold standard of this very fixation. You&apos;re not a social critic. (Unless calling women skanks and teasing fat people can be counted as social criticism.)

As it happens, Bettye Travis just died. I encourage you to read her obit. You might find the story about how she became an activist enlightening. You see, some creeps at Disneyland were taking photos of her body, treating her like a carnival freak. Sound familiar? Well Travis decided to turn her own camera on the voyeurs, sending them away ashamed. And it began a lifelong career fighting against the kind of meanspiritedness that you&apos;ve made your trademark.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Wearing these shoes with a dress or slacks = not slutty.  Wearing these shoes with crop pants, tight uniboob making top, and stamping around the field does lend the shoes a sort of attention seeking device, hence why they seem slutty TO ME.  Matt, I assume she seems demure to you.

Signed, 
Deven, fat and flabby&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&gt; That&apos;s what jerks always say when people don&apos;t laugh at their &quot;jokes&quot;.

And that&apos;s what jerks say when they are humor impaired, they call the people whose wit they don&apos;t understand &quot;jerks&quot;.

It&apos;s all a matter of perspective.

<description>&lt;p&gt;That&apos;s a pretty disingenuous defense, Mal. If you didn&apos;t mean to imply that she was a slut, you would have called them &quot;high heels&quot; instead of &quot;hooker shoes.&quot; And &quot;don&apos;t get me started on the navel ring&quot; seems like a pretty obvious reference to her belly. 

You claim that you simply photograph what you see. True, I guess. But what you *choose* to see, what you frame, focus on, and shoot is always very revealing. Besides fashion &quot;mistakes,&quot; your pictures are inordinately obsessed with fat and flabby bodies. 

And, in an oddly puritanical manner, you also comment on the fashions that you deem to be too sexually expressive. It&apos;s an odd aesthetic which grants you the permission to surreptitiously zoom in on a fat girl&apos;s ass crack, snap a photo and upload for your peanut gallery to chuckle over, while also inveighing against the loose moral character of young women in short skirts. 

And whatever your captions or photos don&apos;t say is left to be filled in by your legion of fans. The comments in the peanut gallery are a window into the nasty body dysmorphia of our image-obsessed city. Sad to see that some people haven&apos;t outgrown the playground.

Anyways, I&apos;m sure I need to &quot;get a sense of humor.&quot; That&apos;s what jerks always say when people don&apos;t laugh at their &quot;jokes.&quot;

<description>&lt;p&gt;Matt,

You sure sound a lot like Daniel.  Are you SURE your name is Matt?

In case you missed it, the field is for playing baseball on.  Not for walking around on in society shoes.  The groundskeeper would probably like to punt her entitled butt across the plate a few times.  I know I would if she ruined MY new turf.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Matt, you are reading into things and then mistakenly attributing these opinions to me. I called the shoes &quot;hooker shoes.&quot; I accept full responsibility for any emotional damage suffered by the shoes themselves. However, I did not make any assumptions about the woman in the photograph, other than her disregard for the outfield. I did not make any of the following statements (you did).

The woman is slutty.
The shoes make her look like a whore.
She is hideously fat.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;why is it ironic that Mal calls em like she sees em on a site that covers LA (where both of the items you mention take place)?

Also, are you calling UCLA students who run in their underwear sluts, matt? Cuz we never did.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Right, Mal. The shoes make her look like a whore. I got it. Jeering at fat people is not your only schtick. (Though some of your fans in the peanut gallery aren&apos;t too shy.)

You also like to point out how slutty some women are too. Ironic that you&apos;re sharing space on LAist what with its regular porn industry updates and UCLA undie run photoessays!

<description>&lt;p&gt;Forget about the fucking field!

How about the mental and optical damage this causes anyone who looks at her?!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Additionally, the heels can sink in 3&quot;-4&quot; while the cleats are only about half an inch long.  So while the formula applies, the depth of penetration is totally different thus the statement about the &quot;230 pound outfielder&quot; in cleats is a moot argument.

<description>&lt;p&gt;okay, okay

pressure=force/area
therefore
pressure=mass*acceleration/area

The woman in the photo above (let&apos;s call her Judy) isn&apos;t much smaller than 200lbs. The surface area of heel of her shoe is significantly smaller than the sole of an average player&apos;s cleats. Therefore using the above formula, one could derive that the woman has no business wearing those shoes on a baseball field because it isn&apos;t her job nor are people paying her 5 million a year to be fucking with their lawn and running around for no other reason than to wear tacky shoes.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey, look everyone! &quot;Judy&quot; is now the moral compass, not to mention the next Nobel prize winner in physics, for LAist!

Put a sock in it.  If you don&apos;t like what you&apos;re reading here, go to the Popular Mechanics website or something.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Sad to see the piling on angry mentality in here.  Real ballsy Tony, calling a stranger a &quot;ho&quot;.  But I&apos;m glad to see Malignant find a home for her sad flickr hate.  And you, Nerd, are the one that needs a physics lesson.  If you think that chick standing there puts more damage than a 6&apos;5&quot; 230 lb. outfielder running full speed on the turf, you are an idiot.   It&apos;s called f=m*a; go look it up.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Um, remember back to your high school physics class... It&apos;s not the spikes themselves but the weight distribution. All of the weight on one tiny spike is what does the damage. This is what makes ice skating possible. Go look it up.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
