full story

if you are from the states, just look around you, do you notice the clothes you buy are seem to all be wider than they were years ago? it's liking the clothing companies are leaving extra space for all the flab. lol

an american once wrote, "...that's because we are a nation of fat asses."

of course fat will never be a new normal, IMO, however, fat people are free to think fat is the new slim.

i suppose that the fact that most american food (especially meat products) is loaded with growth hormones and those hormones enter the human body when eaten has absolutely nothing to do with this phenomenon.

so if we keep on eating this meat contained growth hormones, china will be the next fattie nation.

They don't?:O

I have seen some rotund beer bellies that can really pack it away.

maybe im wrong, but i feel vaguely that the main component of fat is water. :D so fatter the man is, less water he needs. 

But back to the bright side. If your spouse is a chubby, you'll be warm in the winter and shaded in the summer.:D

that's one of reasons i like those fatties. :D

Are you sure HGH is what you are worried about? My concern is steroids, antibiotics, nitrites and just the fact red meat is not a good source of protein. It is a good source of fat though.

it would be good for us to stop eating all kinds of meat, i suppose, or we would only eat those animals that we hunt in the woods. :D
