We should all be ok too with the room in the venues cause they won't be completely filled with enormously fat fuckin donut eating yanks.

You just described the Clearwater concert last tour at Ruth Eckert Hall...most hugely obese people....men and women, that I've seen gathered in one place.....was freaky

...as Berny (sp?) Mack says...Come on America!

....but got to say...when I lived in Florida...saw lots of British tourists....y'all seem to be catching up with the yanks in this respect

i went too! and thats cuz florida is full of fat old fuckers
.I didn't intend to come off as making fun of folks, I don't want to do that...just observed that so many were morbidly obese, not just overweight.....and it's not just those in Florida...everywhere you turn...it's a huge problem ( no pun intended). When folks get so large that they can't even sit in a seat comfortably anymore, then they have to make strides to do something to change....sure genetics play a role with some people but even then to get , not just a bit overweight, but obese..then they aren't doing anything to stem the tide. It's not about being skinny..too skinny is not good either for those that aren't naturally...so don't have to be skinny...or even expect to be as thin as they were when they were younger....it's just getting to a comfortable weight for height, age, and bone structure.....and to be healthy....a point where you have the energy to do stuff and feel good.
With so many folks being so large now....it has a lot to do with our food choices, amounts, the chemicals put in our foods, the time of day we eat and a lot, I believe, due to inactivity...folks need to get some willpower and discipline themselves to make changes...don't go for convience....and no fad diets, they don't work and are unhealthy....just need to choose what they eat more wisely, portion control, don't eat late when the calories won't be burned off , stop doing so many things that don't require any physical exertion all the time....pushing away from the computer and TV and moving around as well as pushing away from the table and stopping once full, not overly full.....by doing some type of sport, going to the gym, working around the house, in the garden, talking walks..or even dancing around the living room to some good tunes..something on a regular basis. We do many things that require us to sit, but we've got to make the time to move, also. They need to look at food as fuel and only take in the amount it takes to do the level of activities they are at....just like your car engine..you put fuel in and it gets burned the more you drive it, but if you don't go anywhere and it sits in the driveway...then the fuel level stays where it's at and is not burned off.
