My Cousin's Response

A few days ago I posted a BLOG ENTRY about obesity, its cost to taxpayers, and my thoughts regarding the subject. Tonight, my cousin sent her reply. It made me laugh. I'm sure it will you too.

I'm going to start dictating how you live your life. Ever read 1984? You're proposing it buddy. You totally hate how others judge you. STOP IT. You have no idea what people do, what's wrong with them. For you to say this woman should not eat a big mac, and then takes the elevator, bullshit.

You're costing more to the system by living longer, so if you want to bitch about how other people live because of how much it costs, its proven you will cost more in the long run.

Stick that in your gym shorts.

Better yet, I chuckled when I asked for her permission to reprint her response and she wanted me to note this brief description of herself:

"Oh oh oh, be sure to tell em your fat, chain-smokin cousin, freedom fightin rosie-da-riveter....who takes care of your beloved grandmother who's fightin for your and my right to stick a 'twinkie' in our mouths!!!"

Classic. Plain and simple. Thanks for all your hard work in not only fighting my comedic words but the bigots who exist in this world.
