that they are fat through some medical means? IE, Hypothyroid, Genetics, etc... The reason I ask is that the number of morbidly obese is rising at a scary rate. [url=http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/obesity-statistics-in-the-united-states.aspx]You can see it is increasing year over year[/url] So, has there been an environmental change? Maybe a new chemical that is causing so many to get and stay morbidly obese? Because, either there has been, or we had two or three generations of chubby chasers making babies that tend to be fat, or the excuse is bunk, and the majority of morbidly obese people choose to be that way. Rather, they don't choose to be healthy. So, has there been an environmental change, a few generations before us were the morbidly obese more likely to have babies, or is it an excuse by weak people who can't put the burger down?
