Fattest

Why it doesn't surprise me? An article on CNN today, picks up the story of the cities with the fattest and the fittest people around the US. . . and of course, Charlotte, NC, the "Queen City" makes the list on the fat side.

Beside churches, and restaurants there's nothing else in this city -putting aside the buildings in uptown, of course. Well, all that sweet ice tea, pork BBQ, all-you-can-eat buffets, bacon and grits for breakfast, cheese burgers and all those southern sweets are taken (or showing) a toll on people's bellies.

I do remember that when I moved to the US from my home country, I was size 32 in pants and Large in shirts. Today -and I haven't gain nor lots a pound- I am size 30 in pants and small in shirts and t-shirts. Is Jean-Francois shrinking perhaps? No. The sizes here are bigger; a nice way to let all this overweight and plainly obese people keep eating their shit thinking that they are still two sizes under.

Ahhh! the power of denial. . . never under estimate it.
