Careful getting that idea in people's heads: I wouldn't want to see obese folks being picketed by Suzuki
I think Bob Barker (of the price is right) is coughing up 800 grand to have them transferred to an elephant sanctuary in Califnornia.
Maybe we could outfit the elephants for military service? haha
Could be worse, could be "grotesque". :lol:
Better than working at the pulp mill in Skookumchuk?

Then you'd be wrong. My trainer is roughly a size 6, fit (obviously), and according to the metrics used, obese. Enough fat for a tiny roll over your jeans puts you into the obese category.
Another idiosyncrasy of mine is I find watching women's hockey live an immense turn on. Especially when two women get in the corner and fight over the puck. Something about two physically fit women, pushing, shoving, grunting, sweating... It's HOT! I prefer women's hockey over men's hockey.
Obesity is a medical term which describes a condition where excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems.
One definition of "fat" is a layman's term for obesity.
The terms fat or thin should be no more derogatory than tall or short, having brown hair or blonde hair. They are just descriptions which should be neutral regarding desirability. Yet we are brainwashed into believing some body types are more desirable than others. Desirability is a personal preference, not a universal standard.
Perceived desirability is influenced by cultural and personal tastes. Many cultures and individuals find obesity attractive or desirable. Obesity can be perceived as a sign of wealth and affluence. However in western culture, we've become obsessed with being thin... in the case of super models, the current standard is near anorexic and unhealthy IMO. Personally, I find the body shape of most super models unattractive. They are too thin according to my personal tastes. I find women with a curvy solid athletic build desirable like these women athletes:

We were taught in school never to use a long word when a short one will do. So I guess "fat" qualifies!
you are who you are...

He makes a big deal about his six pack.. I just reply, I have ya beat, I have a keg.
