America’s Obesity Epidemic: Bringing Sideshow Freaks Into The Discussion « Modeled Behavior
There has been a lot of very thoughtful discussion lately about the obesity epidemic facing this country. All I have to add to this insightful and informed conversation is a comment on and picture of a turn-of-the-century sideshow freak:
This is Chauncy Morlan, and around 100 years ago his obesity was so shocking that people would pay money to see him as he toured the country as a circus “fat man”. I find the unremarkableness of his size to be a telling sign of how we’ve pushed the limits of obesity in the past 100 years. Imagine, if you will, what society would look like if 100 years from now if what passed as spectacularly obese today would not even turn heads at the mall.
iPad seems pretty cool. Not sure if it's worth it though.
Went to the Apple store to see the iPad. Seems like a cool device. It's heavier than you'd think by looking at it and I found it a bit awkward holding it. Typing is also hard without laying it flat. Well see how it does long term.
