Stupid Commercials

[Lilee84 648]

Why is it when you see the potato chip commercials or the ice cream commercials or the fast food commercials they always cast skinny people in those roles? Skinny people don't eat that crap! And people who do eat that crap don't stay skinny for long!

This is right up there on my list of pet peeves, along with the increasingly depressing selection in the plus size section.

Skinny people do eat that stuff, they just don't eat way too much of it or eat it all the time. I have a lot of skinnies in my family and they enjoy the occassional potato chips, or cheez-its or Micky D's when short on time - it's just not a regular habit and they don't choose everything including the kitchen sink when ordering.

Mind you they are healthy too, and fit.

Moderation will always be the key to long term success.

Well, for one that is on the preop liquid diet those commercials are a cruel joke!!!!! A supersized quater pounder with cheese meal sure does sound good to this fat boy. I'm gonna stick with the delicious broth and Protein Shakes but boy does a carton of those fries sound awesome........

@Mater - Thanks!! It's vert hard work and might even feel like downright torture sometimes, but by golly I wouldn't trade in one single second to give that back!!
