"Fat is different nowadays..." 'Obama da Dog'

Fat is different now,
 we  now call fat woman full figured,
we tell fat men they should play football.


 I was recently watching re-runs of thew classic TV show the Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason and Audrey Meadows.
When I was a kid everyone used to say how fat Jackie Gleason was. Watching the show now he does not seem fat, maybe a little husky but in today's worlds he would look normal, not fat.

Fat was different when I was a kid, someone 30 lbs overweight was considered morbidly obese, now someone is not morbidly obese until they are alt least 100 lbs overweight.

Fat is different now, we  now call fat woman full figured, we tell fat men they should play football. Although there are thousands of diet fads and numerous articles and TV shows on health and diet everyone feels  more comfortable in their skin these days.

Back in the day, not every kid on the baseball team won trophy's , now everyone wins a trophy for something. 

What ever to happen to the good old days when you could call someone a fat slob, or actually award someone a trophy for outstanding achievement? 

It's time everyone take a serious look in the mirror and know that all men are not created equal!

via facebook;" that is because advances in medicine keep fat people under 100 lbs alive today where they would be dead when you were a kid."

advances in medicine like the bacon sundae at Burger King and the crispy creme donut cheeseburger? :D)
