The Big Fat Thread

[Spherical Time]

Whether you believe it or not is totally up to you, but I know first-hand how bad it hurts to be looked down upon. Not simply looked down upon, but despised, ostracized, assaulted, and demoralized.

I don't need to go into more detail, if you -really- want to know, you're welcome to private message me..

I don't need more detail. I know how it feels too, although why am looked down upon is probably different from why you are.

I have, and your right... more or less. A Somoan baby is one big baby. However, a healthy Samoan is generally large and muscular, rather than fat. They are big, strong people when they take care of themselves and big, fat people when they don't. At least that's the case with everyone of them I've ever met....

Before you ask, I lived in Hawaii for 2 years and hung out with a lot of locals. I was also involved in a church that had frequent visitors from other islands. There is a Somoan shortage, unfortunately, but you can tell who has Somoan blood and who doesn't. It's pretty obvious.

That's very true. I'm stationed here in Hawaii myself. Somoans would be considered obese by the BMI standard the U.S. government endorses. I mean, even Tom Cruise would be considered fat.

Gov. Arnold is considered fat by the BMI calculator.
It does not factor in muscle weight (which weighs more than fat) or lifestyle, genetic makeup etc.

I wonder if anyone has guessed what it is yet?
