Take the fat ones out of the picture.

The great Steve Reeves using kettlebells.

Ours is the age of substitutes: instead of language, we have jargon: instead of principles, slogans: and, instead of genuine ideas, bright ideas.

One of my kids was telling me the other day that their police department selects only the fit-looking officers for special details when they could have their picture taken or viewed by large public gatherings. So if you tend to be over weight you are not always selected. The image of police, fire or any emergency organization has to be one of professional image, which means that at least you have to look the part even if you are not the best, so the public will have confidence in the organization.

This smacks of discrimination, but with the obesity problem we have in this country its time to be politically incorrect for awhile on this trend. When I was growing up, if you were fat or overweight, you were the object of ridicule or discrimination. If your were fat, you were the last to be picked for a team or activity. "Oh, I will take he fat kid on my side" like you are doing everyone a favor by showing you could handle a handicap. 66% of our country is over weight and 30 % is clinically obese so its time to take unfavorable actions to get people back in shape.
