Conservatives are thin. Libs are fat.

No I didn’t read the article or the comments. Having said that what struck me most was how fat women used to be revered from Rubenesque to the South Pacific, where the fatter the better. It was indicative of wealth.
Now, being fat isn’t great, but being fat certainly didn’t start with American culture.
Conservatives are thin. Libs are fat.
Fatness is a symbol of non-whiteness and poverty?
First there’s plenty of fat white people. Second, you’re not as poor as you think if you can afford to buy enough food to make yourself obese. You’re just wasting your income on excess food instead of wealth generation.
Diet is pretty easy. Plenty of clean water, raw veggies, raw fruits, a few almonds, lean cuts of meat, salmon, tuna and sardines. Drop the grains. Add to this sufficient sleep and exercise. There. It did not cost you a penny, and you can now eat like you are rich.
Anymore that’s pretty much what you get when you read papers like Pravda on the Pacific.
I can remember reading the paper when I was a kid. They didn’t treat adults like simpletons back then.
“No, fatness is a symbol of low or no self-esteem, no motivation, and no self-control.”
Good god, the more I read FR on these topics the more I wonder what happened to the idea that conservatives were _less_ likely to adopt psychobabble bullsh*t.
“...the women are fatter and there are at least 10 fold more...”
~~~~~~~~~~~
No Way! You actually counted their folds? How’d you get away with that?
Excuse me? How can "overweight" and "obese" be "wholly imaginary and highly exaggerated, respectively" ?
My sampling of demographics around Atlanta would seem to support this. In our office, which ranges from execs to entry level, I don’t need one hand to count the in shape black women out of a population of about 120 total people. Seriously, it is 4. Number of black women total is about 30.
I agree.
It is the L.A. Times so it must fill it's daily PC agenda quota to ease their guilty minds
Help!My eyes have been poisoned.
“Interesting that more women than men run races these days.”
1. The men encourage this because it gets the little woman out of the house and out of the shopping malls for a saturday or a sunday,
2. Sports games can be viewed in peace.
3. The kids don’t get harped on to clean their rooms.
4. That afternoon couch nap can be completely enjoyed without that guilt inducing nagging or her exxagerated sighing being directed you way!
being directed your way
Poor individuals are less likely to work for companies with fitness facilities, and there is no discretionary income to join health clubs
Uh-oh. Do I smell a plug for some government programs/mandates?
Does your doctor know about this? This sounds like a death wish!
So in Maine, one of the whitest states in the Union, all those tubby white broads I see at the market are really black?
First minimize carb intake, breakfast bagel, lunch cheeseburger, dinner foot long sub. Diet soda.
My regimen is to get up at 4:15 go to work, leave at 2, play 9 holes of golf, 10 minutes at night on rowing machine.
Not taxing by any means.
If you want to feel and look great you can.
Or you can rebel (like a teenager) against what you feel is political correctness (it isn't) by smoking and over eating.
Conservatism is about choices and personal responsibility.
BUMP
Thanks for the “diet” tip Rev. Luther.
