We can't help ourselves, even if we wanted to.
Can you hear the laughter?
Its all around you...
Listen...
Just when you thought droopy couldn't get any more delusional, he craps this out. Yeah, antimo's are laughed at, but everyone thinks being a mo is perfectly normal.

God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

I dunno. I'd almost consider a gay marriage if it gave me access to the kind of wealth certain people have. In fact, I might consider the poor health that comes along with obesity as a plus in that situation.
Hmm, the more I think about it, the more I'm regretting proposition 8.

Many have been sexually molested as young girls; which can also cause eating disorders such as overeating.
Mormons continue to eat like farmers, but not work like farmers.
Americans are obese. Mormons are Americans (the LDS in America anyway). It is our corporate fast-foods, corn syrupy, high fat foods that are too blame.
Here is something to do next time when you are in the airport -- any airport. Try to find anybody over 30 without a gut protruding through their tucked in white business shirt. Americans are fat, and addicted to high caloric comfort foods.
I'm not so sure it's a Mormon thing. But humorist Bill Bryson made this observation while living in Iowa, and to some degree it might apply to some LDS areas as well:
Iowa women are almost always sensationally overweight--you see them at Merle Hay Mall in Des Moines on Saturdays, clammy and meaty in their shorts and halter-tops, looking a little like elephants dressed in children's clothes, yelling at their kids, calling names like Dwayne and Shauna. Jack Kerouac, of all people, thought that Iowa women were the prettiest in the country, but I don't think he ever went to Merle Hay Mall on a Saturday. I will say this, however--and it's a strange, strange thing--the teenaged daughters of these fat women are always utterly delectable, as soft and gloriously rounded and naturally fresh-smelling as a basket of fruit.
I don't know what it is that happens to them, but it must be awful to marry one of these nubile cuties knowing that there is a time bomb ticking away in her that at some unknown date will make her bloat out into something huge and grotesque, presumably all of a sudden and without much notice, like a self-inflating raft from which the stopper has been abruptly jerked.
