Back in the Eighties, I was in downtown Denver at a big fast food operation. There were like 200 people in line. This woman that weighed like 400 lbs ordered four orders of fries, several shakes, four double-cheeseburgers and, when the clerk said "Will that be all?", she replied "I'll have a jumbo-sized diet Coke."

I think you could have heard the queue folks laughing three blocks away. I know it sounds mean but it was one of those things in life that take you by surprise and you just start laughing because it's so ridiculous. Yeah, like that diet Coke was going to make a difference in a 4,000 calorie snack.

Of course, most obese people don't actually eat more than the rest of us do. It's just a stereotype.

I'll have a cup of the broccoli and cheese soup, a half-pound mushroom-swiss burger with jalapenos, an order of onion rings and a DIET COKE!!
