Fat... or Phat?


You know, when I was a kid I was fat…


Obese no; fat yes (personal opinion), however it seems like few people were overweight then.
Back in the day we called it "Husky"
This made me different… and now that I look back on it, I liked that.
"I was fat before fat was cool."
Who would have ever thought that I was such a trend setter? So what is going on today? Here I spend my whole life working on my uniqueness, listening to all them fat jokes and sneers, and along comes every Joe and Jane saying, “Dude, that guy is PHAT I want to be like that!” And wouldn’t you know it, now everybody is getting fat and Damn it, I am losing my individuality due to the hoidy -toidy sheep following the masses and trying to blend in.
I mean it used to be you would have trouble finding clothes that fit because the stores did not purchase the larger sizes and/or the manufacturer did not make them in our size. Now, I can’t find my size because they sell out first. If I were to go out and get me a 32” waist I would be in hog heaven. The racks are just busting with this stuff, “cause nobody can get they asses into them anymore”. This politically correct society is bust. Ladies, what the hell is a size 18 “petite” anyway…. And I ain’t picking on you, half the men’s pants look like they would fit on “Sponge Bob square pants” with a waist size of 48’ and an inseam of 30”. What have we done to ourselves?

Hell, the next thing you know, we will all be dealing with the pressure of modeling careers.

And to hear the manufacturers bitching about trans-fat banning, WAH, I can’t make food with an 18 million year shelf life without this stuff. WAH, our profit margins. WAH, my recipe doesn’t taste as good now! WAH, you’re interfering with my right to make millions on the back of these sick overworked un-informed people. Once again the rights of the business owners to sell anything they want to get rich, has greatly exceeded the rights of the people to the pursuit of health.

Well that’s it… Now just to be different I am going to have to get skinny(er) than the majority just to thwart off an identity crisis coming my way…
