I just spent my vacation week off in a planned recreational community where my inlaws have a big place. This is the 5th summer. Huge lake, well monitored beaches, biggest heated outdoor pool in the State, etc. Good for the kids and Mr. and Mrs. Kirk get somewhat of a break. Mrs. Kirk is 7 months pregnant with our third and cant get around that much. What is important - this development is in a real rural area but the median house price is about 600k - I could not touch getting a place here. In other words - this is a wealthy crowd that should know better.
I am 6 foot and weigh 205 pounds - I just saw at least 10 women whose right leg weighs as much or more than my entire body. I cannot fathom how anyone, let alone a female, could eat that fucking much to get that big - and to consume enough food on a daily basis to maintain that weight - how the hell do they do it - how the hell do they wash their asses? how the hell to they get pregnant and how do they survive labor and delivery. Nothing in your body will work properly when you are that grossly overweight.
There is also no 'shame' in it anymore, there were 5'5" women over 250 pounds wearing 'bikinis' and cute little gold anklets. It made me sick. I was helping my 4 year old use the stairs up out of the pool and I have a 300 pound geriatric 'on line' behind him. They are unable to lift themselves up out of the pool. They walk 100 feet down and back in the pool and they 'did their excercise'. If you figure that the normal weight for a 5'5" woman is around 127 pounds - these broads are carrying around far more fat on them than bone, brain or muscle tissue. With a 7 month along distended belly - the circumfrance of Mrs. Kirk's belly is less than 75% of the women that were out there.
Now contrast this with a lot of these fatties' kids - the fatter the mom - the more likely the 11 year old daughter (or 9 year old or 6 year old) was put into a bikini with a 'cut' way to old for their age. You want to do a study in contrasts - 55 pound 12 year old girl in brazilian cut bikini (with seam down the ass crack) next to 350 pound mother in black bathing suit. The mother's leg and one buttock weigh more than the girl. Wave after wave after wave of these characters.
There were about 15 women (out of 300) that looked like they took care of themselves - thats it. Over a Hundred gabunzas though.
Perhaps this is just the New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania set - its just I've been around large families with kids in parts of France, on the beach and in the 'town' pools. Never saw anything there like I see here. I know I'm just bitching and its kinds of off the PU subject - but since we get a of cultural notes here - I thought I would add this.
If the 'look' and general health of the supposed upper class is so bad - what does that say about the nation and its future? You can spend 10k, 15k, or 20k on health care per person in the USA right now and it wont work - a Brazilian earning some kind of wage but living in Brazil, never seeing a Doctor, maybe he was vaccinated when he was young - spends 10$ a year on health care yet at the end of the day he will be healthier and live longer.
Like someone (I thinkg Sting) said 'there is no political solution to our troubled evolution' - what the hell the bulk of our population is evolving into I'll be damned if I know - Jabba the Hut? Maybe you dont see this in Miami or Hawaii - but the Sean Hannity/Anne Coulter set is 'fighten for the kids' one box of donuts at a time.
Just a thought - don't ban me for painting ugly mental images. I'll be back on the beach tomorrow - I'll try and take pics.
