LOS ANGELES — Rana Parker tells pudgy police they have the right to remain chubby, but it can and will be used against them on the streets of Los Angeles.
The dietitian lays down the law for recruits, veterans and top brass, letting them know that eating right can help them do a better job and could even save their lives.

We even offered an idea of not making fat-boy uniforms but that got shot down too. They ran our butts off in our academy and then had no follow up routine to maintain so 1/3 of guys ballooned and looked like crap in their uniforms. Psychologists have theories that hardened criminals are less likely to resist or assault in shape officers but the higher ups were afraid of the potential lawsuits for discrimination.

Shes probly a PORKER
A fat officer does not inspire respect....from anyone.
where’s Clancy Wiggum?
"Hahahah ahh uhh.. sheeesh!"
Well our police forces all over America are becoming more militarized. Install height and weight standards similar to the military. Problem solved. Want to be a cop, hit the gym butterball!
Interesting. Few, if any, foot posts in LA. The officers are tied to their cars.
In the Coen brother’s movie “Raising Arizona” the character played by Tex Cobb tells the wealthy guy who has had his child kidnapped, “The only thing a cop can find is a donut shop.”
As a compulsive overeater I can say for certain that none of the seriously overweight cops will pay attention to the dietian in the long run.
A lack of dietary information is not at the center of the problem.
Think AA.
I give them respect because of the gun and the backup.
Actually, in the pic she is rail-thin. Genetics probably. Or eating disorder.
You should respect them because they’ve got a tough job for not a lot of pay and are serving the public’s interest.
You're right.
Any way to make dunkin donuts off limits?
fewer donuts?
“I AM half the man you are...”
““I AM half the man you are...””
lol...great flick...now you Wings get off FReerepublic and get back on that StairMaster!
Get them out of their Black&Whites and walking the streets...it’s more effective policing and keeps ‘em in better shape.
From what I’ve seen in the rest of the country, I’d say departments in California, including LAPD, have the most physically fit of any state. Not to mention, the best trained.
Is that respect or fear?
Hey dude....
Speak for your own bad self!
I lost my 53 (five-three!) L-B's last year...
(Thank you nutrisystem & my Mongoose mountain bike!)
Only 18 or so to go...
To create an aging specimen of near perfect physical perfection!
MIB: It is a great movie...!
Dropped forty pounds since December. Cut down on Beer and cut out the garbage food (i.e., potato chips). I tried some chips recently (after 4 months) and they tasted disgusting!
“I lost my 53 (five-three!) L-B’s last year...(Thank you nutrisystem & my Mongoose mountain bike!)”
That is excellent! Congrats. I used to be a fanatical runner, then the back went bad so I switched to a Nordic Track. Even that was hard on my back. I’m currently a couch potato but would love to start riding a bike...just have to get off my a$$ and do it!
