People are getting fatter

It can't just be me who notices this. a study needs to be done about this and sugar intake needs to be managed. This affects everyone, how long before flights will charge more if passenger are over a certain tonnage...

I'm managing my sugar intake thanks all the same .. just off to get a cold beer from the fridge .. I might even push the boat out and have some nuts ... I'll just buy two seats .. or the entire row so I can really bloat out.

It ain't sugar that made me pile on the pounds it's the booze!

Sales of skinny jeans would beg to differ.

Seriously, I'm shocked by the number of lads I see wandering around with legs skinnier at 15-20 than I had as a 5 year old. I bought a pair of trousers based purely on the size a couple of weeks ago - 36 regular - and I couldn't even get the thigh part past my calves. Bloody ridiculous.

I don't know about 'fetting' but my mates and I would disagree with you on that statement!

I'm 75kg and about 6ft2 so pretty happy with my weight.

Sedentary lifestyles, crap food & cheap booze are probably the three causal factors. 
Losing weight isn't rocket science: eat less, eat better, move more.
Most people can't be arsed & want a quick fix- they go for a "diet" rather than the change of lifestyle they need to adopt permanently.

Yep - two years on, I'm four stone lighter - as a result of eating less, drinking less and moving more. A change of lifestyle which has become my new 'habit'.

It is of course a miserable way to live - but at least I should have many extra years over which I can reflect on this....

I'm fetting finner too, nearly two stone gone, just over a stone to go.

Even if you don't live longer it'll certainly feel like it. 
I lost 3stone by adopting a more sensible relationship with food. Thankfully my fattest was in 1999 & thus before widespread digital photography and social media!

There were no fat people in Auschwitz.

And yet only today there was an article in the paper suggesting that fat middle aged blokes were seen as more attractive to da ladeez.













Though on reflection, I think that article was probably cooked up by some some bald, lager swilling, fat bastard journos more in hope than expectation.

I don't know, it's never on the news or anything

Spot on! Written by me - a complete fabrication....

Even if you have lost weight recently, and fair play to you if you have, walk down any street in any town and see if you agree with my sentiments.  Apologies for the spelling, damn smartphone, but I think you got the message anyway.
