Overweight Surgeon General

[TrackDaddy]

Obama appoints a Surgeon General and many people are taking exception to his appointment. They say she is overweight and that sends the wrong message.

Personally I cant ever remember seeing a surgeon general that looks particularly healthy.

Is this politics or a legitimate concern?

Politics of course. Oops that killed it.

Sir Mix-a-Lot would disagree.

The clothing industry for the lardy will explode, and thats good. We may even develop a world class lady shotputter. The positive aspects of having a porky Surgeon General are starting to come to light. I'm sure the members of this board can come up with all sorts of good reasons we need a wide body at the top.

Here are some starters:
1. Fat folks laugh a lot.....look at santa.
2. Porkies can't outrun the cops. Although there are some bellified southern sheriffs.
3. They don't overbreed.
4. Wide bodies don't live too long.

I don't understand, why do people keep confusing fitness with health. The lady is pleasingly plump. You don't have to look like a Kenyan distance runner to be healthy.

I agree.

Besides...

At least she looked trim in college. All that good southern cooking fattened her up. "Have some more grits sugah".
