Obesity Limits

Looking through the clips on Breitbart.com, there were two that dealt with obesity.

One involved a ban on birthday cakes in the classrooms of School District 25, Illinois.

The idea is that they are trying to create a different celebration "culture" that doesn't rely on sweets. Sweets can put on the pounds.

The second clip dealt with a man who needed to be airlifted to a hospital via a helicopter. The problem was that his obesity prevented the trip. The helicopter has limits and his weight would have placed the helicopter's function in jeopardy.

OK, I'm 54, 5'10" and weigh 165. If I can do it, you can do it.
