Blame Your Gigantic Ass On The Economy

With so many of us facing financial difficulties during These Troubled Times, “more consumers are turning to processed foods, either prepared, frozen or canned and often filled with fat-generating calories, refined grains and sugars. Experts said that’s making more Americans chubbier and prone to obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes in what has been dubbed ‘recession fat.’” The obesity rate rose by a full percentage point over the last year, which is, of course, Barack Obama’s fault. When we voted for change, we didn’t vote for a change in our waistlines, am I right, people? As for the 25% of people who were already obese before the recession, I guess we can just call that “boom blubber.” [Via]
