So the Department of Public Health wants people to feel good about remaining fat thereby shortening their life span. I guess that makes sense to idiots.

It is part of the elites’ efforts to kill off a large portion of humanity.

She may not be your type, but I bet Laz would hit it.

The health department is endorsing obesity. Makes sense in a leftarded kind of way. I guess.

Our tax money at “work”
In the same snafu-ed city that subsidizes hard druggies and provides “safe” quarters for shooting Up

Plus San Fransicko has its very own website to keep track if skk the “poop” on its streets and sidewalks.

It is unclear what role Tovar will play within the department. The San Francisco Department of Public Health did not respond when asked by Fox News Digital about details of Tovar’s consultancy.

sharing 4 tips she taught to help decrease “stigma around food and bodies at work.”

“1. Talk less or not at all about how you and others eat at work,” she wrote. “
2. Talk less or not at all about you or others’ bodies at work.
3. Talk less or not at all about exercise at work.
4. Don’t presume that food, weight, body size or exercise are safe or comfortable topics to discuss at work for everyone.”

Here’s a silly ditty
You can sing it right away
Now here is what you say
So sing it while you may
Here’s a silly jingle
You can sing it night or noon
Here’s the words, that’s all you need
‘Cuz I just sang the tune

Oh, I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat
She’s too fat
She’s too fat for me

I get dizzy, I get numb, oh
When I’m dancing
With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo

I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat
She’s too fat
She’s too fat for me

Can she prance up a hill?
No, no, no, no, no
Can she dance a quadrille?
No, no, no, no, no
Does she fit in your coupe?
By herself, she’s a group
Could she possibly fit upon your knee
No, no, no

We don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
And she’s too fat for me
But she’s just right for me
We don’t want her you can have her
She’s too fat for me
Yeah, she’s too fat for me, much too fat
But she’s just right for me

She’s so charming
And she’s so witty
But it’s alarming
When she goes in swimming

We don’t want her you can have her
She’s too fat for me
Yeah, she’s too fat for me
But she’s just right for me

So I sure want her
You can’t have her
She’s just right for me

But she’s too fat!
She’s not too fat!
She’s just right for me

She’s a twosome, she’s a foursome
If she’d lose some
I would like her more some

I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat
Much too fat
She’s too fat for me, hey!
