Extreme obesity

I wish they still had circus fat ladies!

Would anyone on here take that gig?

im down too haha

I think it is more fun to go to the store and see a circus sized lady.

Believe it or not I'm a feminist, but I've mostly (not completely!) given up on the terminological turnpikes. E.g., I remember when you couldn't call an 18-year-old woman a "girl" let alone a "chick".

And of course being "Dr. Feeder" puts me on a lot of incorrect lists! So I just try to express what I think as best I can.

Sorry if I offended anyone!

I know the UK has one travelling "freak" show left, but i dont think it has a fat lady - so definatly an opening. Could this be used as a good advert for this community????

Ouch!

I admit - that doesnt sound as right as it did in my head . Post refrased to show how it was intended.

Thanks for adding that perspective hard4fat. I study history and im doing a little research on travelling shows atm so i'll look out for the books you mentioned. What is your particular act btw?

It is still true that individuals are growing fatter faster than society is. I believe the last poll showed a leveling off of obesity percentages, whereas the percent of those considered extremely obese increased.

So I believe it's fair to say that even if more people don't wind up fat, those of us that are fat will be larger.

It seems that you used to have to go to a circus side show to see what you can see in your local WalMart. Tatooed ladies, bearded ladies, people over 500 pounds, etc.
