Re: Illegitimate Offspring of the Obesity Thread
We had such problems with the "nonsense" in the original thread that it had to be locked, but we have no problem posting these threads?

I thought that as long as I was re-washing plastic baggies and didn't have a huge TV, I was set for life. Didn't know there was a whole other side to things...
