Aussie girls are fatties now too, even fatter than Americans according to the media. Too many people sit on their bums instead of exercising, and too many people are over eating and over eating foods which aren't good for them. l never used to see many fatties decades ago, and very few young people were fat Now many young people are fatties.

So you guys have plenty of cooking programs too. Such wankery. l have no time for foodies, cooking shows or restaurants....they all suck! lf l had my way there would be no such thing.

lf l go to a restaurant l take my own food. l don't trust any strangers to prepare my food because there are many cases of food poisoning, even good places have outbreaks occasionally. No-one cares if l bring my own. l bring a big salad and get the restaurant to serve it. l think restauants that cook and season food completely suck...why the heck would restaurants do such dumb shit?? l strongly oppose such nonsense and have for years.

Word!

A) My cousin is on a cooking show, and she's very cool

B) I have noticed that many of the women who are obsessed with food rarely seem to eat any.

C) The fattest women in the world may be seen at the Kmart in Torrington, Conn. And the bigger the caboose, the louder the color of the stretch pants.

D) To be fair, American men are pretty enormous too. And the response is not to change the diet and get some exercise, but to grow one of those little toilet seat beards, wear cargo pants and floppy football jerseys, and buy yellow Corvettes.

The foil-lined hat beckons!

It used to be an expression of affluence.  The working class diet was so mundane many never developed much bone or muscle, let alone fat.  Reading the surveys of Booth or Rowntree on London and York circa 1900 is quite an experience. 
It is an ugly topic, true, but my female neighbour and her husband have a joint yearly income of about fifty thousand pounds.

Your female neighbours must be models of virtue and restraint.  No harsh words about, say, Baroness Thatcher?

John, my wife is a big girl.  Big-hearted, too.  A good wife and mother.

More like the No.6 behind the bike-sheds team.

Liam, are you talking about me or 'Right On John'? 

I dislike men far more than I dislike women, whatever their proportions.  John is just doing a trendy Stoke Newington act.  I bet he has several different varieties of lentils within easy reach.

I hate lentils.  But I prefer them to mung beans.
