In defense of being an inspiration for fat teenagers This is probably better for fphdiscussion, but that place is dead.  Training for a half marathon here. Went for a quick 3 mile jaunt this morning through my neighborhood.  About half a mile from my house, I see a fat kid waiting for the bus. I have bad vision, so I didn't realize it was in fact a little boy and not a fat (former) woman until I passed him. He saw me too, as I approached from the same direction as the bus.  I run on. I get to the end of the street and...he gets off the bus at the high school.  I hope he noticed me.  Kids that age know their parents are idiots and are looking for heros. It's not their fault, because it takes years of overfeeding by their parents to get that fat, but they're starting to make decisions of their own.  This is the only way to beat the obesity epidemic when even America's children are little moons. We have to show them the way. Be awesome, shitlords. Never shut up and be pro fit AND anti fat.  Real life superheros we will be when the fat demographic reaches 80 and 90%.
