SURROUNDED BY FAT PEOPLE!!!

ad

I see news reports frequently about how obese America has become, but it never quite hit me the way it did this afternoon when Grrl and I were at The Cracker Barrel. It started off by me noticing the table across from us had four rather large people seated there, scarfing down meatloaf, chicken dinners, pot pies, and all manner of pastries, breads and puddings. Ordinarily, I would have dismissed it out of hand, but that sight prompted me to look around, and I kid you NOT, almost every single one of the people in that restaurant were OBESE!!!
Where are we headed as a society???
It brought to mind this little gem right here.
Enjoy.

What the hell am I working about for if its not to make those 300lb girls feel petite....

I agree with that bud. I can't stand for a kid who does not have choirs or is allowed to just sit around and do nothing. Back in the day we were playing dodge ball and kickball or just for fun beating the shit out of each other acting like the next WWF star. I think it's the lack of dicipline now a days to be honest. Everyone is to afraid to yell, scream or punish a kid because of how bullshit the media has blown up the parents trying to do their job. I was afraid of my dad even though I was not beat as a kid sort of speak. Just the thoght of a beating was good enough!

A girl with a thick azz and thick thighs OMG....I wish half of them knew how sexy that shit was!!! Not down with the belly fat though!

Being healthy is what is attractive. Thick and tone takes work. For a person to do that they would have to take care of themselves. Who doesn't love a big ass that's tone?

Genetix's picture

You got my vote I am for big thick asses (that's toned) Love that... Usually those puertorican mamacitas got that natural glow Smile

I'm with ya on the thick girls. My wife is thick. Small waist, phat ass,and thick solid thighs. Couple trips through walmart and I was convinced that she's just FINE!

Anymore fat ppl disgust me... not because of theier apperance... but the character flaws that cause the problem. Usually an extreme obese person is not only stupid, lazy, and unresponsable, but also a burden on society. I truly believe as someone else mentioned that it is the low quality food that is provided to the masses these days..... and the sad thing i also believe it is a done on purpose to detoriate our health and intelligence. Processed food is poisen ppl....... look at our youth today. If that doesnt prove it i dont know what does....

I'll agree with you on the processed foods not being near the quality people need to eat, but as for "character flaws" and "stupid, lazy, etc" you need to keep in mind thats not always the case... back in 05 I dislocated 4 ribs, serious pain and ballooned to 310+lbs, took a year to get back reasonable and only now after a steady year of hitting the gym am I getting back to where I want to be (actually had a guy in the locker room ask me today "Anyone ever tell you that you look like that wrestler Nash?" uh yeah, they have, lol), but in the meantime I never took a day off work (self employed and that bank wanted the monthly payments on the equipment) and even now that I am retired from OTR trucking, I still volunteer doing something damn few people are willing, brave, or stupid enough to do. Or how about the gal I been seeing off and on since 99.. started out at 120lbs 38D's and an ass to die for, diagnosed with MS around 2003, started developing thyroid issues like her mom a year later and now is fighting her weight like crazy... 200lbs is a far cry from her 120lb days but she still works every day unless the MS flares up, and is finishing her masters degree in the evening, and I still have no issues chasing her around the bedroom. Or a friend of mine who is an RN, since she was a kid her hormones have been wonky, seen the pictures of her when she was on the cheerleading team in HS, finally went last year and had surgery to help get her weight down (after years of diet classes, exercise classes twice a week, you name it) she still has 40lbs to go for her target, eats extremely healthy, and hits the gym with me a couple days a week and busts her ass even if its only 5 or 10 lb weights. Point being, dont go painting everyone who is "fat" with the same brush, cause you just never know.

shrapnel's picture

Well i think it was understood that there is always exceptions and excruciating circumstances, but i was refering to the 75% of obese ppl who are just plain out lazy ... especially mentally lazy...... 75 % of the time obesity is a disease of the "brain" and not of the thyroid or MS etc. Obviosley it is out of a very small percentage of ppls control. But i will close by saying that ive seen ppl in wheel chairs ripped to shreds..... just saying....

Garageth's picture

Just making sure, cause I have run into folks with the "all fat people are the same" mentality,used to be a bit that way myself being honest about it, and honestly I think your 75% number may be a tad low, prob closer to 80+% are overweight from not controlling the mind more than anything, but for those that are in the 20%ish range of it being beyond just controlling the diet (as I learned when I dislocated the ribs and C started her journey dealing with her issues) I can assure you it sucks royally ;)

I agree with you shrap, processed food is complete poison and designed so you will WANT to eat MORE of it .. the FDA has recommendations that are just absolutely ridiculous and they lie as well. There is no research to support their recommendations, period. We are slowly killing ourselves and too many people never think to question what they are told, following along blindly ...like sheeple ;-(

shrapnel's picture

I fall in love with you guys more and more everyday....id say amen .. but you guys know where i stand on that bullshit too.

shrapnel's picture

Agree 100% The United States of America is becoming a sad sad place indeed.......

Kidriot "Sir" as a marine you should give a certain recognition to the fact that civilians use and need technology as we did on and off base. We strive on our military technologies such as START and SECREP for our logistics. That little kid may already be far more advanced in skills in a toddler stage as to comparison to where we were 10-20 years ago. The components of todays tech may help influence our kids today to better enhance their operating skills in the field. Encourage technology but also encourage the skills to be strong and fit.

kodiakGRRL's picture

technology and television stunt these children's ability to be creative and think independently... their social skills completely suck, their communication skills suck.. technology makes people lazy and dependent... (that said, I love playing with new gadgets and I recognize thier usefuleness, but it is also plain to see how detrimental it can be) ... ask the average person how to change the oil in their car or how fix something or build something and they don't have a clue.

i see what you mean about people not developing creative thinking. i have a buddy who's dad is an engineer and he learned how to do some pretty awesome things around his home. im trying to pick up some of those skills... so far i have seen and helped him install a new office in his home, 7.1 surround sound, a projector that comes down from the ceiling, shelves, electric, plumbing, and even zone heating! zone heating is a hell of a project... im picking up on it though.

556-11 W/L is awesome. LOL--- I always get my ass kicked in muiltiplayer. Right now I've got about 200 hours invested in Skyrim. It's not hard to do when the game is so immersive.

7gothic's picture

I think there are a lot of guys who relate very well to your quote, and you hit it right on the head Bro.

shrapnel's picture

Yeah me and girlrilla are both loving us some skyrim. right now we are switching back and forth between that and resident eveil six. Also an Awesome game.

I'll tell y'all extacly what the promblem is with our nation and why people are fat as hell. Its simple easy and way more convenit to run to Mac ds and get your ass a big Mac then it is to fix a meal and sit down at the dinner table. This is also a reason why our youth are so out of control they have nothing stable in their lives!!! Hell when I was a kid my mom made dinner literally every night and we sat at the table to eat.

One of the worst things I have ever seen in my life. Was eating at Tony Romas once watched them roll this 800-900 lb lady in on a surgical table. Slapped down 15 racks of babybacks in front of her. Had to quite eating and leave, made me sick.

shrapnel's picture

insaine! Disgusting on so many lvls.....

DBG's picture

WHAT!!??!?!?!!? Get the fug outta here...true story? If so, that's unreal.

Undertaker's picture

totally true story.

fast48's picture

Oh wow! Speechless.......

DBG's picture

wow...that's unbelievable. When I read that I got a mental picture of it...pretty sickening.

DBG's picture

What's worse is seeing how fat and outta shape that kids are these days.

runfastbitehard's picture

AMEN. My nephew is 13 and obese. He plays baseball and is one helluva pitcher for his size. But you know that he will never make it in school ball due to his conditioning. It is a shame. To top it off his self esteem is low and his mama coddles him for it. Ive seen her bring him a hotdog and hamburger between innings to make him feel better. I have the voiced my opinion and lets just say it was a little dramatic last Christmas.

DBG's picture

I know...I see it all the time. Lil' boys with tits, it's fuckin sad man. When I was a kid there was maybe ONE chunky kid part of the crew...now it's rare to see a skinny kid in a crew of ta-tas!!!

Undertaker's picture

and lazy boy recliners.

DBG's picture

LOL...they're gonna start a new Hooters with boy waitresses...they're gonna call it Ladyboys OR Chubs

lol I ate cracker barrel this morning. But it is really rediculous how un healthy people let themselves get. I under stand sometime someone might have a thyroid condition. The rest have no one else to blame but them selves, they can drown them selves in self pity and bitch and get angry when the see someone like us or when thing arnt accommodated for a fat person. They can be like that or they can get off their ass and do something about it. I will never make fun of a fat person in the gym doing work. They are doing something about it. It really is pathetic that society is so acceptable of these obese people, I mean hell, even most brands of cloths are made for a fat or skinny fat person. I have to get all my dress shirts talord to fit me because I am in good shape and have bigger muscles that the average joe. It's a bitch to get good clothes, tiny arms and huge bodies on everything.

ac89's picture

but like runfast said it's terrible that someone would let their kid get obese.

I work at a deli and bakery, and I had a teenager, roughly 15, come over and ask me for four cookies. I looked around and he was by himself. Of course I gave him the cookies, and he was walking away he quite literally ate all four within thirty feet. I watched him throw the napkin out at the trash can which is for deli sample paper and he wiped his hands in his clothes. He was obese, but really? Cookies at his age? What in the hell?

I'm an old bastard and I still love me some cookies.... had some Raspberry Cheesecake day before yesterday... yummy Oh and Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies.... yeah baby!

runfastbitehard's picture

Its bad enough that adults do it to themselves but what pisses me off is to see obese kids. I believe that to be a direct reflection of just how much the parents give a shit. It should be mandatory for all elementary schools to hold nutrition classes for Parents. Until they pass thwy dont eat.

RickRock1086's picture

You should see the big ass mofos i see at this Chinese restaurant a few blocks from my house. The eat and sit there and wait a few hours just so they can eat again! And they always get DIET COKE hopping that by avoiding 140 calories from the drink will keep em from getting more fat LMAO

HA, what did you expect to see at a Cracker Barrel?
