Call it the "Feed Lot" mentality. You've seen cattle feed lots,
right? Mc Donalds led the way in applying the philosophy to
feeding people. Pretty soon, ten year old female humans will be
lactating
and birthing children .... then die at age 30. Have you noticed
that glucosamine/condroiton used for healing compressed knee and
hip
cartilage in cows is now used for treat the same condition in
people?


Cant say I had noticed that.

Have any of the treatments for hippos been applied to the 'human'
version ?

Do the human hippos fan their **** away with their tails like real
hippos do ?


Being a native southern Californian, I NOTICED the "broad hip
syndrome" in the Great Lakes states. There is more attention paid to
physcial culture and healthy living out here.

Hippos. Show me a picture of a skinny hippo that isn't diseased.
Hippos don't have a taste for beer, pastries, fast food, foods cooked
in or with lard .... on and on. I can't say I've ever seen a "human
hippo" with a tail either. Have you? (I sense your sarcasm LOL).

Here's one a Texan told me: "When you're in the shower and look down
at your feet ... if you can't see your Willy, it's time to go on a
diet."

I was driving 8 hours a day, twice a week for a year while
working on my degree. I noticed that on those days I wasn't
burning any calories to speak of. I finally learned that I
shouldn't eat any breakfast before the trip and also shouldn't
stop to eat during the trip. (Nor snacks during the trip).
Driving evidently burns less calories than anything else.

Hey ... you're just sitting there for 10 hrs ... bouncing along. Then
ya park for 8 hrs and sleep ... maybe some walking around in a truck
stop or a mall. Your left leg and right arm get a little use shifting
gears in the mountains but that's it. All that sitting combined with
a low fiber / high protein diet (eggs, bacon, potatoes or pancakes)
wreaks hell on your intestines and prostate too. I shouldn't bring
in the dangers of vascular leg thrombosis.

I used to nibble on Triscuit or the small Shredded Wheats and drink
bottled water. The munching kept me awake and provided a tension
outlet and the water was FAR better (and cheaper) for me than gallons
of coffee and/or soft drinks like so many truckers consume.

But without a doubt, the fattest states I ever traveled were
the states surrounding the Great Lakes. Good Grief! It was
a rare sight to see a woman with hips narrower than her
shoulders or men without a beer belly and/or love handles.

Also, a diet featuring salt, sugar, animal fat, and alcohol
is almost guaranteed to put pounds on the average person.


Probably due to the lack of exercise and eating often at those
truck stop resturaunts with the big portions.

I was talking about the typical citizens I saw in those states.

Truck Stop portions are too much. NO arguement there! But then ...
truckers are not the customer base for steakhouses like the Big Texan
in Amarillo who FEATURES a 72 ounce steak with all the trimmin's!
That FOUR and a HALF *POUNDS* of beef!

Jeez.. Only in America.
I was reading in a magazine I subscribe to, that some woman from
England, who had just moved to the states, wrote the editor and
complained about the large serving sizes here in America,


...lady was exactly right, and not slamming "America". I think
there is something like 60% obese in this country now?
Disgusting...


Latest statistics are about 65% are overweight; over 30% are
obese. And the problem is not just in this 'country', but applies
to North America as a whole.

lucy, a wife who realizes the importance of looking my best for
my own health, and for my husband's eyesight grins


It should be noted that England has the fastest growth of obesity
in Europe, with 75% of the population overweight and over 20%
obese. Their weight will soon will catch up to the 'ugly
Americans'.


Gonna have to start offering black and yellow striped belts to hold
up their pants as a warning to others.

And of course, we have to make a Harley Davidson reference ... Wide
Glide. LOL

Security disability payments are made on the 3rd of the month, not
the 1st.

The whole story could be bogus. When was the last time you saw a
store with TEN scooters?


The point is made and your little nickpick is ignorable.

Are you obese?

A sad way to live IMO.


Its very sad.


That's not even living. She's missing out on so much in life.


You'd have to wonder how much of it is basically just volunteering for welfare.

I dont even recall seeing a single skinny diseased hippo.

Hippos don't have a taste for beer, pastries, fast food, foods cooked

I choose to avert my eyes when a 'human' hippo waddles by.

Here's one a Texan told me: "When you're in the shower and look down
at your feet ... if you can't see your Willy, it's time to go on a diet."


That's the beer gut tho, you dont see too many hippos with those.
