USA! USA! USA!

Only parts – but it is Spreading…….

But the skinny folks are still designing the mass transit…

we are nation of fatties. sometimes, i wonder if food should be served in troughs instead of plates.

It was Herbert Spencer, not Charles Darwin, who originated the phrase “survival of the fittest”. Spencer was the one who applied the term to social, political and economic situations, where “fittest” lost the biological meaning of “best adapted” and acquired the meaning of “strongest”. Darwin himself briefly adopted the term (in its biological sense) but stopped using it because it was so misunderstood. Present-day evolutionary biologists tend to avoid using those words for the same reason.

I was a real skinny kid, and had this fear of a fat lady sitting next to me on the bus, and the bus crashed, and I was stuck forever next to the window, and squished to death by her…still scared.

Bullet holes in the window are a nice touch

Take over the world by consuming it…then die of obesity related diseases and leave what’s left (which won’t be much) for the rest of us.

I recommend coffee and this video, ^http://video.pbs.org/video/2300668052^Then when you hear someone talking about people acting like animals, you can smile.Wish I had a trustedmechanic in my area. Everyone has a “do everybody once” theory of car repair. Oh well.Happy Holidayze.C.

The women in your Walmart* are only 275 pounds? You must have found the “diet” Walmart!

You have got to feel sorry for the tires, that are on that bus

What about the wheel bearings.

I work at walmart and most of the people that use the motorize carts you have to wonder how in the world did they get into it or how are the going to get out of them. There back sides needs two seats instead of one and there stomaches touch the handels and I wonder how in the world do they turn it,

da fattest,,,,financial

Nothing wrong with cynicism. I was born a cynic.

I’ve seen plenty of men there in their super-size t-shirts that can’t even cover their bellies.YEESH!

Not so much. The gross weight is about the same, just fewer bodies able to squeeze in.

Back in the mid-80’s a 6 year old kid is waiting in a slow moving bank line with his mother. Directly in front of him is a huge butt belonging to an appropriate sized 400 pound man. A beeper in the fat man’s pocket goes off. The little guy screams in terror to his Mom: “Look out, he’s backing up!”.

I am ashamed to be a human today if this is what passes for humor.

There are many people who are overweight or obese and unable to control their weight. I’ve worked with people who suffered limited use of their legs due to arthritis or injury and, unable to maintain their previous level of activity, gained weight, which further aggravated their overall condition. Yet these people are laughed at and derided because of their condition. True, not all obese people have these limitations; some are genuinely lazy and negligent. It pains me, however, to see people who truly want to change their condition but do not have the means or the ability to do so made the objects of scorn, derision and ridicule.The cruelty exposed by the cheap shots in the comments to this cartoon shows that members of GoComics have a long way to go to reach a standard of compassion and charity to their fellow human beings to be considered truly human themselves.This isn’t one of Wiley’s high points, either.

I don’t know why my pants are all shrinking.

Has anyone seen a new species branching from humans in the last 4,000 years? The DNA people say skin color and Race do not count. Also, exempt are basketball players. ha ha

There is a side effect to the presently obese populace…that is just as disturbing as the need these people have to wear super tight fitting clothing it is the trend towards driving cars that are super small. I suppose what they save on gas will be enough for them to buy the last of the Hostess company products before the date runns out.

Same goes for the smokers and the drinkers.>>I used to be that smoker and drinker. I worked every day, never late. Come quitting time I got my daily case of beer and smoked one after another. 13 years ago I had enough. My health in general is real good, but my weight just balooned. My doctor has tried to help me and I have done everything except starvation diets and prolonged fasting. I am six three and weigh 365. Would I like to be thin, yes. Maybe my metabolism is screwed or the meds I take for other issues. I don’t know. But, next time you see one of us disgusting ones, remember, we’re God’s children, too.

You forgot the Meanest.
