Well Mike, I'll grant you there ARE exceptions to my "little rule" here, as certainly there are people who are physically predisposed to being a LITTLE heavier than others...BUT...like I said here, there are WAY too many freakin' Americans(and I'll bet Canadians too) who DON'T have a freakin' CLUE when to PUSH their lard asses away from the freakin' dinner table, OR from the table at freakin' McDonalds!!!
Once again, it's mostly JUST a matter of PORTION SIZES and judging who much "fuel" your body is going to burn on any given day depending upon your activity level.
I mean, HOW freakin' hard is THAT to take some "personal responsibilty" for and figure the f**k out, HUH???!!!
OH! And btw, re all the taxes and governmental intrusion into the tobacco industry...I hope EVERYBODY here realizes that all this "governmental intrusion" into THIS issue the last few decades HAS decreased the number of kids AND adults who partake of THAT habit.
(...of course, with nicotine being a known appetite suppressant and with less Americans smoking than in the past, maybe THIS is the reason why Americans are gettin' SO MUCH MORE freakin' FAT nowadays, EH?!)
