Why are there no overweight or obese people in Star Trek?

And I've seen your cock pal! At least I've GOT Deep Space Nine! You look like you can't even get it into warpdrive!

 

thats not what your sister said when i plugged her warbird with my vulcan salute!

 

Have you seen my sister! She looks like a Romulan ravaged by mongoloidism! Only a sick fuck like you would go after my sister!

 

When we're doing Fran tomorrow and you're on your 80th rep on cleans/presses, you better watch out my little Burmese whipping boy! I'm gonna Vulcan neck-pinch you into next week. And I'm gonna wait until you're in the racked position so you drop that shit on your toe right in front of that guy you're too shy to ask out.

 

she is an ugly bag of mostly water

but her prime directive excites my tachyon particle!

 

Yeah, so does DeForest Kelly.

 

Infraction for spamming.

 

Infraction for spamming. I'd suggest that you take your gameplaying elsewhere.

 

^ Yeah nerds, stop spamming and focus on obese people in trek. sheesh

Sorry Misfit Toy, they just get carried away. I don't know why I try. #sigh#

 

When humans first started exploring space there were lots of flesh eating space monsters to deal with. The fat ones were too sluggish to outrun the terrifying beasts and were thus captured and eaten more easily then their physically fit companions. This resulted in their being culled from the population early on, leading to a fat-free Federation. Natural selection in action. Darwin would have been proud.

 

Those guys have had me in tears laughing!

 

Enough already. The next person that makes a spam post in this thread will receive a warning. Either post something on topic or stay out of this thread.

 

Depends on which series. Those baggy velour shirts in “The Cage” and “Where No Man Has Gone Before” could hide a multitude of sins.

 

In the case of Dr Piper, not so much.

 

Weird thread.

Let's be honest, the majority would rather look at fit, healthy-looking people acting in their favourite show than someone who is morbidly obese. Hollywood is ruled by the largest piece of the pie they can get, and (somewhat ironically) that's not fat people.

Hey. Anyone think this is the appropriate forum for that?

 

Nope!!

 

which episode was this?

 

If they can make synthehol that tastes like alcohol but has none of its effects, I see no reason why they can't make a chocolate sundae that tastes like a chocolate sundae and has none of its basic fatty structure; instead giving the ship's counselor her daily intake of nutrients.

Seriously, Deanna eats nothing but chocolate and she doesn't seem to have a care in the world about it. Have you heard her once say "It's going to go straight to my thighs!"?

Considering the level of technology to make food out of different combinations of neutral elements, I don't find this hard to believe.
I read in one of my tech magazines there is a study going on right now to find the balance between nutrient pellets and a food coating that gives more nutrition than fat intake without the user noticing any taste difference. I forget what tech magazine it was, I'll see if I can find it.

 

The first and second Star Trek pilots, made in 1964 and 1965, respectively. (Do I really have to tell anyone that?)

 

Phasers also have a 'fatzap' mode.
