Holy Cow! You're As Big As One



Want to see something truly disturbing? Look at this
map which charts obesity in the US over the past 22 years.

I shudder to think (great expression) of how bad it will be in another 22 years. And before any of you obese defenders of the fatties attack me, consider that your eating and exercise habits are the problem, not my reaction. I don't want to see my health care costs continue to grow in proportion to your waistlines. I don't want to have to squeeze into an airplane seat next to someone who's body is twice the natural size of a healthy person and have your fat pushing against me.

Exercise, take a walk, eat less, eat healthier food, take the fucking stairs, park at the other side of the mall parking lot, don't go to the all-you-can-eat buffet, don't get the 64 ounce soda, don't get the triple-fucking-heart-attack-whopper, get a dog, join a gym, do SOMETHING! You'll feel better, look better, and live better.

LOL - Saw your post at POPs and had to visit.

I live in GA, and have also lived in FL and NJ. I just recently returned from a great NE tour, including NYC, Boston/Cape Cod, Providence, Manchester, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine and more. I can personally testify that the chart you reference is absolutely dead on accurate.

Which presents another problem with living in the south, for me anyway. I am repulsed by ignorant, xenophobic, NeoCon, table-dancing, breast implant obsessed fat chicks with three kids by three different ex-husbands. And even worse, who think they're God's gift to the poor slobs who pick them up from the local dives at 2:00am after drinking 8 Jack&Cokes.

My only serious girlfriends from the past were from Chicago, Baltimore and NYC - nice, polite, educated, well mannered northern girls. Please, Send More...
