Gosh,
You just described the general look of persons attenting a
hamfest....overweight and slovenly.


Gross generalization - take aseat at the entrance of a mall someday and
tellme then about overweight and slovenly

Facts are from
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/...in326811.shtml

Americans can't stop eating. That's the conclusion of a federal survey that
estimates 6 in 10 Americans are overweight, more than 1 in 4 obese. The
conclusion: too many of us consume too much and exercise too little.


Some chronic overeaters admit that they are generally lazy and spend too
much time sitting around and eating their goodies instead of walking.



The findings, part of the 1999 National Health and Nutrition Examination
survey measured the height and weight of more than 1600 people over 20.
Results show 61% of Americans are overweight, 35% moderately overweight and
26% obese. That's up slightly from the last survey.
