On my most recent trip to Publix by the new bridge, I witnessed a couple from the villages (they left in a golf cart) while checking-out purchasing ""ALOT"" of ice cream, doughnuts, regular soda, bags of candies, bread, sugar cookies, crackers, chips and not one piece of fruit or a non-sugar product. Additionally this couple both weighed in over 300 pounds each!!! I felt almost compelled to re-direct this couple to rethink their food purchases in the same way I would help prevent a person that is attempting suicide.
I understand loosing weight is VERY difficult, but why destroy the remaining years of your life!!!

I'm stricken with a sudden insatiable curiosity here, new person. My questions to you:
Do you believe that
1) these obese people don't realize that they're obese?
2) that these obese people don't realize that overeating crap is contributing to (or possibly even causing) their obesity?
3) that these obese people would have a single kind word to say to you, if you had chosen to act out on your temptation and confront them with their food choices?
and here's a different line of thought:
4) that these people were buying ALL of those things exclusively for themselves, and that there was absolutely no way possible that they were buying sweets for a party, AND themselves, AND their family?
4a) that these people have no understanding of Halloween and therefore could not POSSIBLY have been buying some of that candy for Halloween festivities somewhere?
Enquiring minds want to know. |
