Title: 100 years ago this was a freak. Today it's a medium at Walmart
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on April 26, 2010, 12:57:52 PM
 The photo below is from the Barnum and Bailey circus taken in the early 1900's and was a sideshow freak as a "fat man" that people would pay to see.  Today this guy is your average Walmart patron.

That is a misleading photograph.

Do you realize that Chauncey Morlan is only 14-17 years old in that photograph and around 448.

Hardly the norm today.

  Funny joke, but it was funnier when Andrew Sullivan told it on his website not too long ago.

  Plagiarist.

Not the norm but there are many people as fat as that.

These old photos are so cool. Seeing a time close to a hundred years ago is amazing. Not many fatties in those days. Amazing amount of hats though.

Kinda sad really. All of those people are probably dead now. It's depressing.

It goes to show you, your gonna die either way. I would rather go enjoying life than constantly worrying about getting enough protein or complex carbs.

Imagine someone reading this conversation in 90 years. We won't be here unless somehow people start living to be like 120.

Strange that's the way you see this photo. You're assuming what comes after life is worse than living.They may be the fortunate ones. You never know, and no one living does.  ''Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.'' -Bertolt Brecht

Bertold Brecht never posted on Getbig, the very definition of an inadequate life.

Hardly the norm today.

you can go into any wal-mart anywhere in the south at any time and you will see at least two people that weigh over 400 pounds.

 there may not be 14-17 year olds that weight 500 but there will be plenty that weigh around 250-300

Oh brother, so you have personally visited every walmart in the entire south to verify this right?   ::)   No way are 250lb teenagers the norm.
