Sad State Of Obesity In Orange County

Okay, I spent all day yesterday at Knott’s Berry Farm with my kids.

It was truly SHOCKING to see the size of the majority of the people, especially the Hispanic community.

I know through research that the Black and Hispanic population is heavier than most, but I could not believe the site of the whole family so dangerously overweight and eating nonstop.

I feel it is accepted to be so heavy, as everyone was eating and drinking tons of soda….huge 30-40+ ounce glasses that can be refilled.

At Johnny Rockets, I had a grilled chicken sandwich (and had to send it back twice to have them make it without mayo) and my kids had hot dogs and fries. We ended up taking most of the fries home as the portion was HUGE and the waitress recommended that we order more before they arrived and I said, “Let’s just wait and see what the kids eat.”

It would have been obscene to order more food, but when I looked around, people were eating enormous quantities.

It made me sad. And don’t even get me started on all the people using the motorized cars to get around. They are so heavy that they can’t even walk. Scary.
