    Also. Up to 27% of our youth between 17-24 are  ineligible to join the US military due to obesity. Shocking number. The fat, out of shape youth in the US have the power to let somebody else fight and protect the country while they are on their 2nd bag of chips for the day. Truly a sad state of affairs.

    Perhaps you haven't seen my new "poster child" for the whiny Left:

    https://coed.com/2017/08/29/antifa-i-need-my-service-animal-video-protester-arrested-crying-berkeley-pigs/

    Check out that beautiful juicy gunt.....

    Too "disabled" to fight for the country that protects your dumb A$$ and for some crazy reason needs a "service animal", but - able to protest, fight with police, and use said "service animal" like an OT pushing it towards the cops as lead blocker, and then able to spin move and escape police custody one time, like she's Barry Sanders circa 1994.....

    Don't the Browns need a good "low to the ground" elusive RB like "The Bus"? If I was Hue Jackson, I'd sign this thing up post-haste!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It is interesting how each group (R) and (D) views obesity,  the majority of republicans view it as the result of individual consumption lack of physical activity, while dems who are overweight tend to blame genetics.

    Republicans are definitely fatter but Democrats are catching up. They just have the kale and quinoa, rock climbing climbing crowd to bring the average down.

    Disclaimer: I eat kale almost everyday, quinoa multiple times a week, and I love rock climbing but i'm no whiny liberal. I'm not a whiny conservative either.
