Then these two morbidly obese women walked in, the krispy kreme stand is naturally placed in full view when you walk in the door, so the two women stood next to the krispy kremes discussing whether they wanted to get some or not. I guess they decided they better not and the moved up to the counter, the counter had three sections to it, the cold section which stocked things like sandwiches, sushi rolls and other various ‘healthy snacks’, then there was a bakery section which had things like cheese twists, muffins, jam donuts etc, and finally the hot food section which had all that greasy fattening hot food that you can think of, pies, sausage rolls etc etc.
So the elder of the two women(40’s) went straight for the hot food and grabbed some kind of pie, and the younger women(but equally fat) went for the cold section and grabbed a rather healthy looking sandwich. At that time the girl working called out my name to collect my coffee, i went up and grabbed it, i ordered a large takeaway but the two obese women behind me started commenting on how it wasnt that big and that they were going to order the maxi(500mls at least).
So i went over and put some sugar in my coffee, and watched as the younger women who had originally grabbed a sandwich changed her mind at the counter and swapped it for some kind of apple turnover(real fattening).
Thats when i walked out, i went outside and was wiping the bugs off my window, thats when the two women walked past carrying a dozen original glazed krispy kreme donuts, two maxi sized coffee’s, pies and turnovers and hopped in there car. They had some bloke driving them, who wasnt exactly skinny but not obese like these two, the two women hopped in the same side of the car and drove back onto the highway.
I dont know what it was that fascinated me about these two women, maybe it was the total lack of restraint in dietry choices, or how their actions are a reflection of the changing australian society.
Welll thats my rant about obesity, i think its disgusting, im understandable if people actually have health issues, or if someone is just overweight(not obese), but i think maybe we should start a fat tax, place higher taxes on foods which are fattening and use that revenue to fund sport programs and even subsidise healthy foods.
