Margo Wootan, of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Science in the Public Interest, says that at the end of a decade in which obesity rates have risen 50%, the time has come for government activism in the fight against fat.
Does that mean we all get free liposuction like Nadler did?
He's the
three one in the middle.

And, what's that growth on his left shoulder? Hope it's benign.

Free?
Why not? If it's for "The children"..../dripping disgust
And, what's that growth on his left shoulder? Hope it's benign.

Did he get it done at Bethesda or Walter Reed or Free because he is a fat congresscritter?

Oh, I have no idea where. Do a FR search for "Nadler" and see what it turns up (warning -graphic photos on almost every Nadler thread).

LOL. Actually I had meant to type, "Hope it's not benign."
Really, I did.

That's ok. Thanks anyway. The photo you posted is graphic enough in more ways than one.
To: RandallFlagg
Great picture. It looks like H.R-C. finally figured out how to make her butt look smaller.

But I thought you said you didn't mind being crammed in if it made the flight cheaper for you.
With the fattening of society, if the obese, not wanting to pay for two tickets just because they overlap the purposely shrunken airline seats, are kicked off flights, there will be less people flying, which will result in higher fares.

But I thought you said you didn't mind being crammed in if it made the flight cheaper for you. I don't mind being crammed in. Most obese people can fit in an airline seat. The ones that can't are extremely obese. I don't remember the exact figures, but people in that class are just a few percentage points of the population. It won't make that much difference to ticket prices.
