Get a life. It's not even offensive. It's an airplane cabin with fat people
stuck in their seats, and an announcement being made saying "Welcome to
London. Once the other passengers have exited the plane, we will begin
prying any remaining Americans from their seats."

ROTFL!

All people have "size". You're fat, which your organization seems to already
know.

The idiot who started this post wants to stir up bad press about fat
people. The email and the url are phony. We knew that already.

NR blew it again.

He should quit blowing for free.

In other words, we're lazy and overeat.

How do you know this? Have you made a study or taken a survey of
this? Do you have any real proof? It is unfair to lump MOST fat
people in this category. Most fat people are usually either
genetically inclined to stoutness or have a constitutional inability
to properly metabolize carbohydrates. My wife exercised 5 days a week
and watched her calories for 20 years and didn't lose weight. It
wasn't until she went on a low-carb diet that she really started
losing weight (40 lbs in 6 months).

So, she was overeating carbs.

Different things work for different people, but MOST people in the USA,
according to the reports I've heard on the news, are merely supersizing
their fast food.

Since when is the news an accurate purveyor of truth when it comes to
health or nutrition issues? why would you believe them? They are out
for ratings so you might want to question what they tell you.

Try doing a medline search. You'll have some work sorting through
everything but at least you'll get a better view of what the real
issues are.
I'd take what you hear off the news with a large grain of salt.

I've lived overseas the past 20 years and I have to admit I was
flabbergasted when I walked into a U.S. fast food restaurant and saw the L
size drink cups!
