Having said that, people’s self esteem goes up when they think they look better. But if overweight becomes the new norm people won’t think it looks “bad” anymore; it will just be normal.[/quote]

Cbad is right, it is really more central obesity and waistline. Some ethnicities have a propensity to put on weight around the waistline, those groups are more likely to develop obesity related problems earlier than even BMI would indicate.

as for the new norm. one has to realize that as whales become the dominate species in the ocean, they gradually got bigger and bigger because they had endless supply of food. and as the whales got bigger and bigger, their normal changed.

same thing with human. as we are now the dominate species on land and sea. we have all of the food we can consume and we will just keep eating and eating. we are programmed that way. and so we will gradually get bigger, and bigger, and bigger. and as we get bigger, our normal will change as well.

human beings are not special, we are just a group of animals that figured out how to change the environment around us to suit us. and as we have access to more food, we will just keep eating. this is how animals behave.

[quote=socrattt][quote=ocrenter]so far we are very happy with our Ooma.

we do pay $10/month for caller ID.

the call quality is excellent, we love the e-mailed VM.[/quote]

OCR, curious to know what ISP you have? We had Time Warner initially and it worked out well with Ooma then got Uverse and the quality seemed to pretty bad. Glad to hear it’s working out for you.

I get caller ID for free, so not sure why you pay $10/month for that. Do you have the Ooma Premier?[/quote]

we have ATT DSL.

Ooma without the premier service did not have caller ID…

hmmm…

bearishgurl, that is the new normal. you are just being vain and you are just teaching your kids to be vain.

remember, someone normal sized is a skinny mini that is always starving herself. chunky is the new norm, and obese is just a little chubby, and only if someone is severely morbidly obese do they need to shed a few pounds.
