I like this for the simple reason that many people who are ‘fat’ and don’t want to be laugh at themselves because they experience the pain of those who consider them fair game. Laughter has more power to turn it away than anger or self-pity.
Hi Marie,
I did post this as “humor”, but it was more ironic humor than “ha-ha”. The irony being that the food industry is poisoning us with food, society is crippling us with sedentary jobs and our taxes are used to promote both with corporate tax loop-holes. In effect, we are subsidizing our own deaths…
I honestly believe “we” are less to blame for our girth and food behavior than we commonly think. It’s not so much weak character as it is us being used as the addictive animals which we are.
