kitty123 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Has anyone else noticed that people generally are getting bigger?, there seems to be a lack of healthy looking people around, I am no Kate Moss but I have been amazed by the amount of BIG people around recently? What is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_28 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Embarassingly yes. Although take comfort, chesterfield are way ahead of us, its not a dig, but the people there are on par with America. Funny how different cities have trends, coventry also has lots and i mean LOTS of emo's and people who prefer the same sex, go there now and again to visit and friend and am always aware of it, not saying its a bad thing at all but % of people that fit in these groups is scary lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 You ought to see some of the huge pie-scoffers in Leicestershire. Theyre 6 feet plus to go with it so they look like bloody mammoths! The blokes are even bigger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It's not really a new thing - we lived in Doncaster in the early 90's, and the average size of the average bint round town was larger than the rest of the country then. South Yorkshire has always had an unhealthy population Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 There's a difference between 'large' and unhealthily overweight - ask any doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyesey Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 size 8 and below in my personal opinion look ill and often like they need a good meal Depends on their height. My stepsister is 5 feet and half an inch, and she's a size 8 and still looks chubby. And anyway, to the OP, yes people are getting fatter. We're still adapted to food being scarce, and have a strong propensity to eat as much as possible, whenever possible, to counter long periods of no food. Now that periods of no food simply do not occur, we're overeating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
