Over the past few years I have noticed a surge in obesity in many local towns in Connecticut. It is a problem throughout the country. Two years ago I attended a state fair and was overwhelmed when I noticed hundreds o people on the Midway were obese and where happily eating various Fair Foods high in fat and sodium. Out of all these seemingly contented people only one stood out as a mid twenty year old woman who appeared anorexic. Everyone else had large pot bellies or very large buttocks it was a memorable vision. A year ago I visited a local bookstore in a neigboring town when I was overwhelmed by the attendent behind the counter. He was a mountain of a man in his late 30s or earlly 40s at least 6ft.5 but he had to have been over 400 pounds. His large body barely fit behind the counter. Recently I read about two thousand pound sisters taken from their home for weight loss treatment. I have always feared gaining excessive weight and have tried hard to stay within reason and waist size.
I had to laugh recently after Donald Trump’s recent physical it was announced that he is the heaviest President in over 100 years. The only President heavier was Howard Taft who weighed 332 pounds. Trump’s persona has done nothing to inspire weight loss in America, and is seen eating Fast Foods as his favorite meal. Heart attacks are the number 1 cause of deaths in America. You would think that DOGE and Elon Musk would concentrate greater efforts at reducing the fat intake of American foods, instead trying to reduce the Fat in vital government agencies.
