How rude. Have you looked in the mirror lately?

Oh, for crying out loud, loosen up a little bit.

Thank you! Why is it that ageism, sexism, racism and religious bigotry are all bad, but insulting the obese is just fine?

Have we now . . .

joined the liberals . . . and

resurrected gluttony from one of the 7 deadly sins

into a cause celebre?

God have mercy.

I don’t have a great deal of room to talk at 6’ 1” and 190lbs . . .

But one of my shocks on returning to the USA after 15 years was the vast increase in very obese people struggling to get all their bulk to perch on chairs at the all-you-can-eat buffets since they wouldn’t begin to fit in the booths.

At some point, there’s little excuse for the excesses we have become addicted to . . . the excesses we have become.

And defending brazen self-indulgent sin is not an answer.

NZ is not a huge country. I don’t cheer all their socialized hogwash. But this boundary is a sensible one.

I wonder how many of the carping ones on this thread are how many collective pounds over weight.
