First, let me state what I said on the boards in about 1996. Americans are too fat!!! Nowhere in the world do I see more fat people, & not only are they fat, but Americans have the fattest of the fat ones on the planet. They resemble cows & pigs on a farm... not humans, but the farm animals look heathier!
Now I'm not pointing the finger at people with gladular or simular problems they can't help that effect their weight. I'm talking about fat lazy people with cushy jobs who don't get any exercise & won't stop eating!
Going for a round of golf twice a week is not exercise folks (but probably better than laying around the house
or office)!
Don't blame McDonalds, pizza or people on welfare with too many food stamps & nothing to do. There's McDonalds & pizza in other countries, & the poor get free food in many countries too.
At any time of the day, any day, on the chip-strip, Allentown, or Elmwood party district streets, & on the floor in the clubs, there's litter of mostly food, food scraps, & food wrappers, paper plates, & pizza boxes everywhere. These areas get cleaned well, at least once a day! No wonder we pay an enormous amount of money for a shitload of the best most dangerous rat poison on the planet! We have the tastiest garbage!
These pigs are constanly eating, throwing their food, scraps, & garbage all over the place. They're even too lazy to eat like civilized beings, & throw their garbage in a recepticle... An there's garbage cans everywhere, but nobody's using them. It's not just Chippewa, it's everywhere! Their crap is even flying out their car windows on the thruway!
In my shop in the mornings, sometimes I have to go on service calls. Everywhere I go, everyone's eating, long after breakfast time. They offer me some, every day. I had my breakfast so turn them down. They act like there's something wrong with me or I don't like their food if I don't sit down & eat with them. I ate already for Christ sake, I'm busy working, & getting plenty of excercise doing it.
Oh, I eat lunch too. Long before & after lunch it's the same story, & it's usually the same pigs still eating!
I'm usually busy at normal dinner time, so it's normal to see people still eating then. I usually have my dinners late. Long after I'm done, these same people are still eating, snacking, spilling their food, scraps, & throwing their garbage all over the place. Is it a 5 star restaurant or a pig farm?
Since the NYS public smoking ban, I swear all the smokers (except me) that go out to clubs have put on 50 pounds & always are shoving food in their face.
If I stayed true to my nature I should be pointing at them making oink oink piggy noises. But I'd bet that would kill my business seeing how most of 'em are waaay too fat.
But the next time someone even mentions my cigarette smoking, & tells me it's a bad, dirty, messy habit, I'll point out their big stomach, butt, thighs, or the gravy & pizza stains on their tie... or maybe the crumbs in their car.
They claim my car smells like an ashtray... terrible, but their car smells like a garbage can full of spoiled food! Are there fries under your car seat or crumbs embedded in the floor?
BTW owners, management, & staff & my mid-day job... the entertainment complex are all fit & thin. If anyone overweight works there, they lose it fast because of all the excercise we get working, or they quit because they're too out of shape to keep up (-; We have to move a full sized piano & several pool tables at least twice a week, & everybody has to help or leave... but my homemade subwoofers are the heaviest.
First advice I give any new staff member or someone stuck working for me... wear comfortable, sensible shoes, 'cause your feet are gonna hurt, & don't eat a lot or it'll slow you down.

Study: Obesity crisis rivals tobacco
By SHWETA GOVINDARAJAN
Cox News Service
WASHINGTON -- The number of overweight Americans with unhealthy lifestyles has skyrocketed and obesity will soon overtake smoking as the leading cause of preventable death among Americans, health officials said Tuesday.
According to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity and physical inactivity were leading causes of 400,000 deaths in the United States in 2000, compared to the 435,000 deaths attributed to tobacco.
Fighting obesity is a "top priority" for the agency, said Dr. Julie Gerberding, CDC's director and one of the authors of the study.
"The fact that more than a third of deaths in America each year are related to smoking, poor eating habits and physical inactivity is both tragic and unacceptable, because these are largely preventable behaviors," she said.
The study, which appears Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that deaths due to lack of physical activity and poor diet increased more than 33 percent to 400,000 in the decade since 1990. The gap was wider in that year, when the same factors caused 300,000 deaths -- roughly 100,000 fewer than the deaths caused by tobacco.
"Americans need to understand that overweight and obesity are literally killing us," said Tommy Thompson, secretary of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "We want to start seeing a reversal from where we are now."
To tackle what officials called an "obesity epidemic," Thompson announced a national public service advertising campaign that uses light-hearted humor to encourage Americans to take "small steps" toward big changes in their diets.
The television ads are designed to help Americans understand that they don't have to make drastic lifestyle changes to shrink their waistlines, he said.
"We want to focus on positive encouragement instead of guilt," Thompson said.
Thompson, without elaborating, also indicated that President Bush could soon participate in the national campaign.
"I'm confident that he's going to be very much involved," Thompson said.
In one ad, a man who found two bundles of flab drops them off at a lost and found counter, only to discover they are love handles that often fall off when people decide to take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Other ads feature double chins and bulging bellies cast off in grocery stores and on beaches as unsightly extra weight that people could lose if they move toward healthier lifestyles.
The ads, developed for HHS with help from the private, non-profit Ad Council, suggest snacking on fruits and vegetables, playing outside with children and getting off the train or bus one stop earlier as small ways to trim down without a lot of effort.
The public awareness campaign will appear on channels that have donated air time and will include a Website -- www.smallstep.gov -- with information and tips.
In addition, the National Institutes of Health on Tuesday announced a task force to develop programs and methods to treat and prevent obesity.
