When did people get so big?? Observations from the grocery store.

He actually is fat as fuck. When was last time he jogged?

For whatever reason I really noticed it yesterday morning at the grocery store. The people were huge, not just overweight, but tall. I am an over 50 woman and stand at about five feet tall with a medium build.

When I was in high school 80-83 it seemed the tallest girls were about 5’7” or 8” and I remember my friend on the boys basketball team was the tallest at 6’4”. There were only a few overweight kids, and they weren’t obese, but chubby. I went to school in what would be considered rural SC and our school was about 60% white to 40% black (as an aside, there were no racial issues at all as I remember it and everyone got along).

I first noticed super big people about 10 years ago on a visit home while in a bar. The bar was full of what looked to be college kids and as I was trying to leave a girl stood up in front of me and all I saw was her butt. She must have been 7’ feet tall, and she was big. I was shocked, so much so, I still remember it. I felt bad for her, actually, and imagined it had to be uncomfortable as she kind of lumbered out in front of me.

So yesterday morning we’re in the city doing our shopping at Kroger, we’re mostly there for produce and dairy and a few odds and ends, and the store is busy. It was one of those days where it seems everyone is blocking the aisles or standing in front of what I need, and the energy felt rushed, like there wasn’t enough for everyone. Approaching the diary section I was cut off by a tall, obese woman with a huge buggy (shopping cart) and stopped and stared, every person in the diary section was huge, like over 6 feet tall and fat. The women were big, the men were bigger, and the children were well on their way to being bigger than their parents. What in the hell?

Being small has its advantages and I slithered in and retrieved the butter (not margarine) I was seeking, and we got out of there as fast as possible. Hubby and I talked about it on the way home, reminiscing of what we remembered from our youth and how people have changed. He went to school in New England and said there was only one fat kid in his high school.

Now everywhere you look you see giant people, not just overweight, but tall. I don’t recall ever being aware of my small stature until the last decade, and at 5’1” there were shorter people than me in my dealings, but now I rarely see them and when I do they are older.

It’s easy to see that we are evolving to be bigger, looking at uniforms and dresses from the civil war era shows they we have gotten larger, and even looking at sewing patterns from the 1960s show that women have gotten bigger. I wonder how much of that is a natural event, and how much is from the bad food, water, and prescriptions.

The people I saw yesterday are not healthy, and it was funny, or scary, that I saw one average sized person and she stood out. The young woman of a normal size stood out because she was the only one in the store who looked healthy.

This society is sick and the inhabitants don't know it. They have people injecting themselves and children with all kinds of shit and thinking it's healthy and normal.

We may have to stay in a hotel next time -- that will piss everyone off, but it takes a week for us to rebalance. Restaurants are not ideal, but at least we will not be subjected to bargain basement bologna, cool whip, orange flavored "drink", and meals made from Doritos we must eat, or risk insulting someone.

Oh, wow... The Big Lots diet, eh? Terrifying. My wife has a Big Lots mentality and I've pretty much talked her down from it, but if a package of meat costs 99 cents in 2019, it's not worth eating. You're not saving money, you're killing yourself with cheapness.

I would have to lean towards metabolic disrupter's in our food. These hormones could be delaying the epihphyseal plates in our bones from sealing thus allowing people to continue to grow.


The epiphyseal plate is an area at the long end of the bone that contains growing bone. As people develop, the bone grows longer as a result of activity inside this area. These plates permit growth after birth, allowing the long bones of the body to extend and a person to grow as he or she reaches maturity. Once growth is completed and the person reaches full maturity and stature, the new bone slowly hardens and the plate turns into the epiphyseal line.

He actually is fat as fuck. When was last time he jogged?

It's TRUE now my THALAD is yuge. You should measure it. Wow

So, is the possible delay in these plates resulting in weak bone?

If so, not good in the long term perspective.

I'm in SC.

Yes, I have seen a lot of hispanic men who are very short, like my height short.

It, also, is the Hormones, and especially the new ones in the vegetables, the GMO. Chemicals! ! ! They are making us sick. I am allergic to chemicals ! ! ! and there is hardly any medicines on the market that i can take. I can take NO pain killers ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Chemicals: in the cows, all meats and eggs, butter vegetable. There is NOTHING left or safe nor nutritional to eat. OF COURSE WE ALL LOOK "SICK" WE ARE SICK. fungus DISEASE IS RAMPENT, AND Japan's Fukushima is making it far far worse. These villains poisoning our food MUST BE STOPPED!

Jesus fucking christ, weak 5a metabolites are NOT FUCKING causing EP delayed hardening.

Chill out, Mildred, it was a simple question. I am not a medical professional, I hold advanced degrees in International Finance -- about as far from medicine as can be.

Geesh.

...let me guess you're all fat fucks due to a glandular problem that's not your fault? Or it's the forks fault.

Not you. I grabbed the post by mistake. It's the fucking idiot you quoted that it was geared to. Sorry

Nope. 110lbs, soaking wet. International certifications in three martial arts disciplines, Vinyasa yoga and Drishti yoga. I can tie myself into shapes & binds most people would find otherworldly.

I cannot stand seeing these fat fucks all over the place. Stop eating, you disgusting slobs

Didnt you hear, it's not there fault, it's the plastic, GMOs, and everything other than fork to mouth...

I cannot stand seeing these fat fucks all over the place. Stop eating, you disgusting slobs.
