"Chubby" meant a very different thing back then. That's the fattest girl you'd see out in public. That girl isn't even fat by today's standards.
They'd get out the harpoons if they saw the fat people today.
Women were prescribed speed more regularly, back then. Easy to be thin when you don't get hungry.
I've been saying this for years, we need to go back to doctors prescribing women cigarettes and ritalin.
You think that's stopped today? They hand out Adderall like candy. Reduced access to amphetamines is not the reason people got fat.
Whale that's a rude joke!
This is an example of some of the shit you say that I don’t agree with, Rosanne. It’s like the pot calling the kettle black.
For the best
