Stop "Catering" To The Obese


I recently read an article on child car seats that made me angry. Because so many 3-6 year olds are overweight and/or obese - carseat manufacturers are now making "husky" models. I'm not kidding - read the article here. Great. Super. Just what we needed. We always try to solve problems this way instead of attacking the root of the problem. The root of the problem is that little Johnny eats Ho-Ho's for breakfast, Ding-Dongs for lunch, Twinkies for dinner and then he parks his fat ass in front of a TV to watch SpongeBob for 3 hours. Guess what? Chubby little kids grow up to be chubby adults. I'm tired of sitting next to people that weigh 350 pounds on a plane. I'm tired of sitting beside them at the movies. My biggest pet peeve is when we go to a restaurant and the space between my stomach and the edge of the table resembles the Grand Canyon. Maybe if little Johnny McButterpants' ass didn't fit into any carseat, his blind parents wouldn't feed him garbage all day and would make him get some exercise. I just had a great idea for a restaurant chain - since Big & Tall and "Plus" size stores are so popular for clothing - maybe we should just have restaurants that cater to this size as well. Then maybe I could actually eat with my back up against the backrest for a change.
