Bigger question?

Why aren't we all fat -- and finally it's addressed.

Doonesbury

is on a roll this week.

Help

is on the way. Scariest part of travel is dreading being wedged against fattest slob in departure lounge.

A scalpel

when a shrink would help. Met a plastic surgeon recently who said one business holding steady lately is carving away folds left from bariatric surgery on patients still fucked up from overeating.

Now

we're talking. If only the MTA would do the same, with those guys who sit with their legs in two ZIP Codes as well. 

Perspective

How the world eats. Or doesn't.

Forget the White House garden

Why are we ignoring the elephant in the country? 

And people accuse me

of being rough on fat people. 

But what about

the fig and flatulence diet? 

Maybe Obama

doesn't need Alice running to the rescue. 

All fattened up

and ready for tinfoil. 

One big reason

not to fly in Canada. Maybe they should allow smokers to use the lavatories again because they are "disabled" by their nicotine addiction.

I thought this

was a parody. A day's worth of calories in one little gulp? 

(Filched from Wonkette, which had the legit link, too)

One that got away

Good piece on Indians going back to their native diet for health reasons. But I wonder what they used for vegetable oil thousands of years ago. 

Only

in America: Too many Happy Meals. 

But their hearts

are healthy. What's the problem? 

And people think

I'm batshit insane about obesity. (Not fat people. Obesity.) Funny to hear a gun nut arguing for the government to rip the Whoppers out of Americans' cold hands, though. 

(Filched from Shakesville)

Girl Scout uniforms

in XXXXXL, top and bottom. (Funny, when I was a kid back in the last mid-century, there was exactly one overweight kid in all the troops in town. And today she would pass for normal.)  

Worse

than I suspected: How the sausage is made at the WSJ is a little too transparent. 

Couldn't

say it better. 

Jumped too soon. This is more cutting and worth the plunge into the comment pool.
