Who would've thought that the children of the most blessed people would have obesity problems?

I mean come on, they not only have the only true and living gospel on earth, but they have modern revelation from the only man who speaks to god on a regular basis, from which they have the word of wisdom!

Nearly one in four elementary-age Utah children is overweight or at risk of being so, according to the Utah Department of Health.


At least the pudgy little girls only have one set of earrings.

Far better than your mental, moral, and emotional problems PP. In my case, I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Put that in your cigar and call Monica Lewinski.

Gee, the article noted this is a NATIONAL PROBLEM and Utah's child obesity rate is a bit less then the NATIONAL AVERAGE.

I know you are desperate for stick to beat the LDS Church with dude, but this one was plain dumb.

Obedience to the WoW is unrelated to obesity as currently interpreted by our leaders.

We've had this discussion before. Do you have something new to add, PP?

I understand the rate of dumb is on the rise as well.

Yes, especially in this forum. On most days an old Herschel Gorden Lewis movie would be more intellectually stimulating.

The problem with this statement is that it implies that if Church Leaders aren't talking about it it's not pertinent or important. On Judgment Day I would think whining about not knowing something when it is in a book you claim to revere while it gathers dust on the coffee table will come across as more than a little pathetic.

Obviously. Sans paper bag?

You are dating yourself with such references from Dr. Demento...

Speaking of Monica, what does she and Lucile Ball have in common?

The both had intimate relations with a Cuban.
