Not surprising, but take note of how lean everyone is (and these weren't starving people, even during the depression) and compare that to say peopleofwalmart.com

:usacry

Edit: Had to dig for the site, but someone pointed out how this guy was travelling sideshow "freak" fat man Chauncy Morlan.



Today he wouldn't make it past the screening round of The Biggest Loser
