Well stop eating shit and go for a walk, you idiots.
The last time I was in Wales (a nation of chip addicts*), it was all I could do not to shout out "try a salad sometime, lard-arse!" about every three yards. Actually NOT as an insult, but serious advice. There are a lot, a lot, of extremely fat people there - especially teenagers, especially girls.
My daughter has a friend who's Nan's just gone for heart surgery. Her mum is very overweight (not enormous, but large enough that it's the first thing you notice), and she (the child) finds anything remotely home-cooked too exotic even to try. Can't the mum see that this is just three stages in one life story?
*That's "fries" to people on this side of the ocean. Or rather, maybe I should start a thread on why a "fry", even a nice "fry" isn't the same thing as a decent chip.
