Cat On A Leash
Apparently, this is a very special breed of cat called Ragdoll (because they tend to go limp/relax when you pick them up).
Aside from being large, soft and beautiful animals, they are known as "dog-like cats" and actually follow people around like a dog on a leash.
Maybe less like a dog and more like a mini lion in perceived size, this is one incredible cat! ;-)

Buddha Happy
This was a great big Buddha by the cashier in the vegetarian restaurant.
He is, so to say, "fat and happy" (come on you can't miss that belly)!
I think that's the message the eatery is trying to get across.
The only problem is that fat does not make happy; it just makes you want to lose weight.
Then again, no really hungry person was ever that happy either. ;-)

Shabbat Shalom Bowl and Cup Set
They say Shabbat Shalom to all Y'all!
Quick funny anecdote from today:
When I inquired with a friend about their Thanksgiving dinner yesterday.
They, of course, said they ate too much!
But it was funny as hey said that, they made a big round (belly) sign with their arms.
That image was worth a thousand turkeys. ;-)

Donuts With Syringe
I get that they use the syringe to put the custard, jelly, and other fillings inside.
But leaving the syringe hanging out of the donuts like that conjures up images of addicts and junkies.
DESPITE that, these incredibly rich and overflowing donuts with gobs of toppings were some of the finest I've ever seen.
Takes more than a good dose of willpower to resist and not become an addict of these carbohydrate powerhouses.

Sizing Fashion And More
There is an obesity problem in the U.S.
But the statistics in terms of the typical sizes of fashion (for women) has been "largely" overlooked.
The biggest size most fashion brands even bother to sell is: 12
"Only 7% of womenswear stocked at multi-brand retailers is a size 14 or above."
But the average American dress size is between between 16 and 18!
The typical runway model is size 2.
BTW, I think men have the same problem with sizing.
There was another thing about measurement in the WSJ today having to do with measuring time.
Day is measured by the earth rotation (on its axis).
Year by the rotation around the sun.
Month by rotation of the moon.
Earth, Sun, and Moon...give us time.
Now we need to take all the wonderful time we have measured and not spend it all eating. ;-)

Extra Large Sizes
This is concerning for all sorts of health effects (including unfortunately Cancer).
Many of us struggle with our weight and it is not easy to fight it especially given the processed foods and carbs all around us.
The picture as of 2015 is that almost 40% of Americans are categorized as obese (versus a below average of 18% in Israel)
In this context, this store sign in Israel for big and tall clothing was off the charts.
Talking about extra large sizes for people...
Check out how many "Xs" as in XL this store is advertising?
A full 11 Xs (after that I lost count)!
Hey, that is a large size for anyone.
What does a size 11 XL look like.
Now that's something that I don't have a good picture of. ;-)

Worst Passover Cake Ever
It's definitely not kosher for Pesach.
Not only is it made from chametz, but it's shaped like a chazer (i.e. pig) too.
This thing would be conceptually treyf even on the best of non-Passover days.
Does it have lard too?
I don't know for sure, but would it really be a pig cake if it didn't!
This lousy cake doesn't even have an ounce of chocolate in it--have you ever heard of a genuine dessert that tastes like the calorie count it adds up to be without chocolate?
I've heard of the callous calling people a pig for eating too much cake and being fat, but making the oink oink face directly on the cake itself--and on Passover--is not only insulting, but at $28.95, it's overpriced too. ;-)

Globs of Fat
Yes, it's that time of year to start getting ready for Winter and all the germs that come with it.
Anyway, while I was at the health center, they had this model of what body fat looks like.
It was sort of just laying right on the table in the waiting room--yeah a big ick!
It said:
"Globs of Fat: This glob represents the look and feel of 5 pounds of body fat."
And this thing was enormous, bigger than someones hand, maybe even two hands.
There was some text about another 1 pound piece of body fat, but I didn't see that lying around anywhere (and frankly the 5 pound glob was enough to get the point without comparison).
This fat demonstration would make practically anyone want to chuck the carbohydrates and forever.
Pizza, pasta, bread, rice, potatoes, cereal, crackers, cookies, cakes--be gone!
Having recently done this myself, I can really appreciate how important this is and also how hard it can be.
The food industry has us addicted to this crap and really it should be illegal.
The high carb diet in America is truly of epidemic proportions and is potentially catastrophic to our health and longevity.
The only thing that glob of fat is good for is tossing it out the window and into the garbage dump.
A high carb diet that makes people fat is death and we want to live! ;-)

A Fat Pill
This guy at work goes to me today, "Hey, did you get a fat pill?"
I am thinking to myself DID I put on a few pounds...but still how totally rude.
My colleague must've seen me looking at him with some disbelief and irritation that he would say something like that to me.
Then he gets this look on his face like, oh sh*t {oops that wasn't what I meant!}
Immediately, he reaches down to the counter in one of our common areas and picks up a Dunkin' Donut from the box that someone had brought in for Friday munchies.
He's holding up the donut to his face mouthing, "A fat pill," as he takes a big bite engulfing half the donut (or more) in that one mouth shot.
Well, I never heard of a Donkin' Donut called a fat pill before...
Probably lucky for someone that is what he was referring to (LOL). ;-)

What A Split!
Aside from the body in the trunk, this guy or gal is either a yoga guru, they weigh like 1,000 pounds and are as big as a Subaru Outback, or they have been split in half (and this is a crime scene)!
It reminds me of, as a kid, reading the Guinness Book of World Records about the fattest man, Robert Earl Hughes, that was buried in a coffin the size of a piano case, although at the time, I thought he was actually buried in a piano case.
Either way, this is a ghoulish picture, indeed. ;-)
