Maybe it shows up more in the black community but on par Americans love to be fat. Fatter the better. 64oz depth charges of soda, quintuple burgers, 2 lb cheesecakes as single servings.
Pile it on, pour it in, scarf it down. Companies like Living XL.com and Big John toilet company know this stuff. We're fat and growing fatter and our kids won't outlive us as a result. I see it as an opportunity - get involved in physical therapy, invest in durable medical equipment. Hey it's a cold competitive world out there. We need to thin the herd. So however you look at it: moral failing, your unique metabolism, your mommy was mean to you, cultural norms, it's all good. Keep chowing down folks. I'll be selling you jumbo sized golf carts and zoo scales.
