I'd rather have the crack heads smoking crack than have it fall into the hands of children. I mean really, they're super heroes at keeping drugs away from the kiddies.

Why does smitty hate super heroes and children and puppies?

A hamburger is displayed in Hollywood, California October 3, 2007



Did this photo really require any caption, much less one that gives you both the date and location of the hamburger?

It reminds me of a story I read yesterday (for whatever reason). A school had been using the same band uniforms for the last 20 years and they need new ones because, "kids are built different than they were 20 years ago."

Yeah, sure. I have so many overweight kiddos in my 3rd grade class and in the whole school. Parents need to kick their kids out of the house and make them play before they grow up to be obese adults.

I wonder if this means that fruits and vegetable are more beneficial to us fatties than it is to the normal body types. But somehow, I doubt it.

There's probably other reasons why they should buy new uniforms. Damn 20 years, no new clothes? Cheap bastards.

Hmm.. this explains a lot about the super obese people eating at all-you-can-eats who die of a heart attack. Not that it didn't seem like a logical end before, but this article explained the mechanism well.

RTFA.

The point isn't that high-fat, high-sugar diets are bad, duh.

The point is that in obese individuals, high-fat, high-sugar diets have a MORE DAMAGING IMPACT on their system.

If you RTFA, you'd see that the normal-weight people's bodies showed less damage from the high-fat, high-sugar diets.

This is due to a difference in how the calories are absorbed (all-or-nothing) and how the metabolic processes are handling the influx of energy (producing more free radicals == more activation of metabolic/fat storage pathways).

But, as this is Fark, snark is encouraged. Feel free to reply with a heated argument on how all this was already known, even though it wasn't. And don't forget to not include your sources.

Yeah, there's that too but they've had to be altered so many times and let out etc. It's a small town and somehow they have 75 people in the band and new uniforms cost $50,000. Wowza.

I wonder if this could be like that "fatties drink diet soda, so diet soda makes you fat" article? Maybe fatties drink diet soda because they are fat. Maybe the farked up metabolism is the REASON they are fat, rather then the fat making the metabolism farked up?

Nah, the old-style band uniforms were extremely well-sewn. Back in HS, we had the old-style button-up-the-side uniforms that were like 6 layers of thick cloth... Hot as hell in competition season, but parade season you were nice and toasty compared to those newfangled silk blouses the bands are wearing these days.

That HS had those same uniforms for probably twenty years even back then, but according to an old friend who still teaches there, recently they've had to redo their uniforms because the kids just don't fit in them anymore.

She is NOT fat!!! I bet you she doesn't go more than 140-150. What will it take for you guys? For a woman to be negitive lbs before she is acceptable? sheesh! Or maybe you like being stabbed by bones? lol

Mwa ha ha ha!!! I never said she was unacceptable. bruce4bruce just asked for cute fat girls. So what if she's a bit of a light weight? You have to admit she is kinda chubby especially for a celeb, and way past cute!

/Also, although boobies are nice, I prefer men, are ya savvy?
//And I'm a long diet away from making fun of 'fat' people
