I apologize for starting this obesity debate.
Truth be told I'm not exactly thin myself.

Nor am I an oil painting.

It was an ad hominem attack against Limbaugh.

It won't happen again.

1. You're forgiven
Next time just concentrate on the fact that he's an asshole whose listener base are all easily led into thinking they're victims and the perpetrators are the powerless.

His fat is on our side. Eventually the man is simply going to drown in all that adipose tissue.

3. That's ok
I will say it gave some an opportunity to explain the complexity of human metabolism and produced a lively debate. I do bow to your courage in admitting a mistake--not many people can bring themselves to do that.

12. Or pushing your own shopping cart back to the store rather than
abandoning it for "the old guy" who works there.

10. These threads come around every couple of weeks
I have yet to see anyone prove you can gain weight without actually eating.

I always look to the pictures from the WW II concentration camps. There is never anyone fat among the thin, skeletal prisoners.

I wonder why that is? Apparently the thyroid and metabolic conditions only exist in 21st century America.

:shrug:
