Just remind the food nazis that "it's my body, it's a personal choice". That's the line they most like to trot out.

Body mass index of over 30, probably. Which includes most in-shape football players and boxers, so the number is probably misleading. But there's no doubt there are a lot more heavy people out there even than there were when I was a teenager in the 90s.

Yes it is. But the problem is that many, myself included, have become accustomed to that.
And I hate leftovers...so eating out is a pain when I try to lose weight!

I'm not fat. (I could use about 10 pounds.) Why is EVERYONE else FAT? Maybe they EAT too much. Then again, how does logic address this issue of being FAT/OBEAST (sic)?

Simple answer: You may want to eat less. My sister was on 125 million diets trying to lose weight. I told her, that for $100; I would guarentee results within six months.
The solution was: EAT LESS. duh..

Used to enjoy driving by the local college and checking out the cuties going to class. Now it's yucko. Sorry folks, but 19 year old girls with rolls hanging over their hip huggers which are wrapped around butts that are twice the size of my wife's, just don't turn me on.
It's none of the socialist butinzkis business, that's for certain.
But it is getting ugly out there. Getting to be a cold, cruel world for us that like to appreciate an attractive woman.

There's still lots of cute chicks around!
I don't mind a *little* extra weight but you're right...it is getting out of hand! The college girls often have "beer bellies" too I notice.
Seems there are two extremes with women. Either they're 270 pounds...or their SO obsessed with weight they never eat anything but salad and tofu. What happened to the good old fashioned girl that ate REAL food...just in reasonable quantities...and looked good?

Eating less and counting calories is the way to go.

Is this based on that screwy Body Mass Index?

The BMI might be correct. I do know they adjusted the weight thing a few years ago and threw a whole bunch of "okay" people into the "obese" column. If I were to actually weigh what the chart says then I would be a skeleton. But my doctor told me at my last physical that he doesn't consider me over weight. And I'm at the same weight I was before they downsized the chart.
There is definitely a problem out there though. I have never seen so many FAT and I mean FAT kids at the public pools as I have seen in the past 3 years. It makes me lose my appetite when we go. But as a mom, it is a good reminder what NOT to buy and keep in the house for my kids.

For some reason, you made me think of crispy and delicious onion rings. Why? I don't know. LOL
