Two words: King William
Hard to argue with him. I know it's hard to hear, but take a walk in a crowded location.
Ah, yes...it's the one, the only, Tampax.
Go to any bowling alley anywhere in the country. Walk through a mall on a Saturday. Go to a pro football game. We are mostly at least twenty pounds overweight.
Charlie watches far too much "Maury," methinks. Note to the prince: not everyone looks like the sad cases on Maury and Springer. As an example, see Fox News Channel--except when interviewing Dick Morris.
I've found that if you go to a city with lots of pedestrians and public transportation, such as Washington DC or Manhattan, you see lots less obese people than, say, Dallas or Houston, where less walking and more driving is common.
I'm sure they're getting as fat as his royal head!
I'd rather use my Rascal....
Sure, we all see overweight people in a crowd. But we also see very thin people in a crowd, and lots of people in between. Some might even conclude that we're far to obsessed with thinness these days, especially watching "stars" like Calista Flockhart, numerous models, and checking out the ranks of those in treatment for bulemia and other eating disorders.
He's right
One of the first things I noticed when I moved to the suburbs is that there are no sidewalks up here
Just streets
And the way the nit wits that drive up here .. kids can't safely ride their bikes
As for the stupid bike paths that costs us millions to build??
They are nice .. but you have to drive to them because there are no side walks to walk or ride your bikes on because the roads are too dangerous to get to the bike paths
Then there are the perverts that don't get locked up like they should and parents don't let kids go on the bike paths or parks by themselves like they did in my day
LOL... it so would
uh oh...this clown thinks I care....what he has to say....
I'm an American, I don't have to pay for him.
Thank God!!!
It's ironic that our ideal has gotten thinner while Americans have gotten fatter. It's unquestionable, though, that as a group we're much fatter than we were even 30 years ago. Among children the difference is rather startling.
They'll have to start importing some decent food first.
it's because they can't go out and play by themselves like they once could in our day
Address the main problem and we can find a solution
