This story kind of fits here, if you consider stupid in the context of stupid regarding your health.
Back when I was 19, I was in college in Sarasota, FL and my only means of transportation that I could afford was an old motorcycle (living on ramen noodle stories to follow...
).
Anyway, as I was from Wisconsin, and had not ever been to FL, except to tour the college, I often filled my idle time with long rides to who-knows-where, following back roads through swamp and farmland, etc.
On one such evening ride, I saw the stereotypical run down farmhouse, complete with falling down barn, dead vehicles about the property and (yes) old major appliances visible on the side of the house.
On it's large, sagging porch with its half-on, half-off paint peeling decor, there was a large family doing something with tan, round containers in their laps. When I say large, I refer to their size. Mom & Dad must have been pushing or over 300lbs. and the two teen/twenties boys must have been 250+. I took my hand off the throttle and waved, as they all were staring at me. Not much traffic through those parts, I guess.
Since I was slowing down, it was easier to see what they each had in their possession: a 2.5 gallon tub of ice cream. Each their own flavor, I guess. And they were sharing a family moment having dessert on the front porch.
Now, I'm not a fitness fanatic, although I do work out almost every day. And, to see such large sized folks having more than their fill of more junk food than they obviously needed just left me laughing for quite a long time.
I come from Wisconsin. One of the top five states for obesiety, and I had never seen such a sight there (perhaps I was not looking hard enough...).
Anyway, that's my "No! No! Dont do it!" stupid people eating too much story.
Who knows, maybe it was fat free yogurt?
Hugs,
