Normally Id tear into any non American for making a statement like that but in this case Chuck is sadly right. Too many Americans are way to &%$#ing fat.

If Prince Chuck dumped Cammy, he'd lose about 140 pounds pretty darn quick! (I'm too polite to say "140 pounds of ugly fat").

Do you know where that photo was taken? In England or abroad?

And we Americans promise not to have big ears and say stupid things.

Being over weight may be a problem in the US, but it doesn't seem to be the cause of childhood diabetes.

I'm fat; but I'd never cheat on a spouse.

THAT kind of pig, I'll never be.

Whether it is true or not, for someone next in line to the throne [long live the queen!], that was undiplomatic.

Say what you want but America is fat as hell.

Here in Nashville, I'd wager a third of the lower to lower middle class women are obese....not fat...obese.

No kidding. When I was in high school in the early 70s....maybe 1 in 50 girls were truly fat fat.

Nowadays, high school girls are much heavier overall....maybe 30% heavier....cup sizes are up correspondingly two.

father of 4 here including two average sized high school girls who are considered rail thin by their peers but would have been normal in my day.

“Research suggests that walking or cycling for just half an hour a day can have a significant improvement on our state of health.”

Reasearch suggests the royal family are inbred dimwits.

Ive heard it said that the growth hormones in beef could have a hand in kids being larger than they were in the 60's and earlier. Who knows? Could be something to it.

Dear Prince Charles,

I may be fat, but you're ugly; I can diet.

Sincerely,

Me

You are right, wardaddy.
We didn't have a weight problem back then.

This area is known to stress fitness and nutrition.
But, folks are very big out here, especially the young'uns.
That's to be expected when they eat Toaster Struedel for breakfast,
McDonald's/Taco Bell for lunch (in school, no less), and KFC for supper.

I remember when "fast food" came out of a machine. ;o)

I bet your darling girls are built like you.
Between you and the lovely mrs. wardaddy, your boys have fantastic genes.

Not only that, we got a lot more excercise back then too. I cant remember how many bicycle tires I wore out and had to change. If I wanted money I cut grass, raked leaves, and had a paper route. Most kids I knew did the same. Sadly, those days are long gone.

"Not only that, we got a lot more excercise back then too."


We surely did!
We were outside as much as possible.
And, we didn't have to be told, either.
It was fun!

The chores weren't fun, but they instilled
a work ethic, and we were rewarded for it.

Also, we had gym class in school.
That was one hour a day where you HAD to exercise.
But, that was fun, too, for most kids.
Sadly, a lot of schools have cut way back on gym,
or dropped it completely.
