Houston - The fat arse capitol of the world Post By CF on the FOOL ================================================== There was a dreadful programme on Britain's Channel 4 television last night about Texas, and in particularly, Houston, the Fat Arse Capital of the World, where pushing 40% of the population is clinically obese and anyone less than 15 stones is a wimp. I kid you not, it was horrific, and it was all caused by gargantuan eating habits coupled with very little exercise. We witnessed one man eating a 5000 calorie meal and one poor devil of a woman who was so fat she had to propel herself around her house on a chair with wheels. This particular lady was filmed sliding into bed and as she slid under the duvet, great acres of out-of-control flab came slithering out from under the covers. She was perfectly happy with her immense bulk, saying that it was people's attitudes that were wrong, not her. When served by a friend with a truly gigantic dish full of food she was seen to ladle vast piles of cheese onto the mountain to help it down. She had a pretty though petulant face and was clearly only in her early 30's. It was apparent, and very sad, that this lady almost certainly wouldn't see 40. CF
