I apologize to thin women everywhere for calling them "skinny" and "cadaverous."
Satan seems to have a problem, however. It is indicative of the extreme attitudes that people have about this subject. I'm not so sure that the fat are necessarily doomed to isolation. I see plenty of them out with other people. Even large groups of large people in gregarious situations. With so many people being fat, they find each other and hang out together, eating.
We have all this food around that does not even need to be cooked. We drive everywhere. When we're not eating or driving around, we're watching TV. No wonder so many of us Americans are obese. We've given up tobacco for antidepressants, too. Antidepressants make people gain weight like mad.
Well, gotta go do some gardening and work out on the old Nordic Track.
Cheer up, everyone. It's a long haul, this life. I don't care if you're fat or thin. Aunty Hattie loves you just the way you are.
