I understand that Rosie O’Donuts went into a restaurant advertising these adipose things.

She said: “Give me about ten of those between two loaves of bread and add mustard, ketchup, syrup, jam, butter, jelly, crackers, two heads of lettuce, three tomatoes, 14 big onions and seven cucumbers. I’ll also have three big bowls of grits and 10 orders of french fries.

Now after I finish my appetizer....”

“There are people who are by clinical definition obese that eat no more and some times less than your average person and certainly well within the calorie guidelines of the medical profession.”

You are right; you win a big Mac. Since you’re defending fat people, you must be a tub of lard.

People who have a medical problem causing them to be fat probably account for <1% of the obese people in the world. Gluttenous appetites and laziness account for the rest.

“Mankind did not evolve in an environment where we could consume the amount of food available to most of the world now..”

My parents both grew up on farms during the Depression. When my brothers and I were born and raised, the portions my Mother prepared and served were not large, probably because the money couldn’t stretch real far. Our stomachs didn’t either.

In the ‘60’s, I believe a lot of the anti-establishment types decided that MY kids are not going to be deprived. We’re going to have two meat courses and potatoes and bread at every meal. Eat all this, then we’ll have three different desserts.

You kids should remember to raise your kids this way. Don’t go out to play, remember, we have a big new color TV - go lay on the couch after we eat.

How easy for you to resort to name calling without knowing the facts.

“How easy for you to resort to name calling without knowing the facts.”

Did I not acknowledge that there is a small fraction of people who are overweight due to some malfunction of their bodily chemistry? That’s a pretty small fraction. If you’re a part of that small fraction, please accept my apology for your intentional misunderstanding of what I said.

Allow me to QUOTE YOU

“.... you must be a tub of lard”.

Attempting to recall an insult, even one based in ignorance, is like trying to put the toothpaste back into the tube once it has been squeezed out.
