Ever watch "Court TV"? Look at the bailiff, the court reporter and everyone else involved. Fat as can be. So are most govt. employees.

I am astounded as to how people can allow themselves to get so fat.

Life is tough here in America! Just ask any Commie DemocRAT or one of their toadies in the MSM. They’ll tell ya! Americans may be fat but they all “go to bed hungry EVERY NIGHT” and it’s the Republicans’ fault.

more than 34 percent of Americans are obese, compared to 32.7 percent who are overweight. It said just under 6 percent are "extremely" obese.

These are just round figures.

It’s not nice to have fun at the expanse of the overweight. ;]

These pics in this thread are better than any form of birth control out there.

So the real fat is taking over the regular fat? I saw some article where the leftist reporter was wringing her hands over the possiblity that a looming recession would make obesity worse. Still too counterintuitive for me - just put down the fork and be done with it.
