I just got over a cold two years ago and I'm still 10 pounds under weight for a 56 year old man. No matter what I do, I can't gain weight. Always been that way since a child.

I've never understood fat people. They eat 200 pounds of food a day and drink diet Coke.

The missus makes up for my svelt, slender physique. Fortunately, for me, she's able to keep her weight mostly North.

LOL

The ultimate 'I'm not responsible' excuse.

"I was riding the bus next to this fat guy who was coughing and the next thing you know, I came down with being fat.

I would bet that you don't eat a lot of sugar and refined foods.

If this isn't a joke it's pure unadulterated BS.

Hysterical !

I have been blessed with genes that allow me to eat anything I please and not gain weight and I always feel bad for folks that are not as lucky.

That said,I doubt very much that the increase in obesity today is anything more than poor eating habits and minimal exercise. Where was this adenovirus 50 years ago?

I'm thankful not to worry about weight either. 

Well, way back when, there was no Play Stations and computers.  People and kids got out more.  Everyone sits on their butts too much now.

Somebody's coming down with a severe case of fat-ass.

To some it is an heir-borne illness.
