Well, If you went around making racist comments, people would get offended. The last group that we are allowed to bash without drawing the ire of every liberal group in the country seems to be fat people. Why aren't they afforded the same tree-hugger asylum from bashing that all these other poor baby groups out there are?

Many fat folks can't lose weight, short of going on a regimen like on the TV show The Biggest Loser, a program which is cost prohibitive for the majority of people, as are low carb and low calorie foods. Some people cannot do the physical excersise necessary in combination with a healthy diet.

Skinny people think, "oh, just excersise and diet, and the pounds will just drop off." That is just not the case. It is far easier to add the fat than it is to burn it off. That is why people struggle with their weight. Their metabolisms have suddenly slowed to a crawl with middle age, and they are then asked to unlearn all of their eating habits they developed in early childhood. Losing weight is hard, not easy.

PWL, your post does prove you are an oxymoron, minus the oxy. Why don't you go clear the batter on your way down the 1st base line. Holler back to him that he'd better start running. Sheesh.

LMan, what can I say. They're not all pearls of wisdom.
