I believe it. Maybe only 1 or 2 out of 10 people I see in Walmart are not overweight.

[I believe it. Maybe only 1 or 2 out of 10 people I see in Walmart are not overweight.]

I personally have never seen so many huge people in my entire life, including kids.

When I was young, the fat kid was the exception. Most of us were thin.

The other day, I saw an Hispanic woman who could just barely walk into the store entrance ahead of me. The fat was in huge globules weighing at least 15-20 lbs. hanging off her calves and almost dragging on the floor. The gut fat was hanging over her waist at least 8-10” into her lap.

She had a permanent airway installed into her neck with a cap on it for what I figure was a breathing assist when she laid down in bed to sleep.

This was truly a person in the process of committing suicide by food. Her shopping cart was stacked with garbage and junk food to overflowing when I later saw her on the checkout line.

I'll second that.

Four out of 10 seems low to me.

Having spent most of my life overweight, I feel more sadness for them than judgment.

I took off most of my weight by being careful about the ingredients in the food I was consuming, not through dieting.

When I look at what most people are putting in their Walmart carts, it truly saddens me.
