A few weeks ago, I was at Safeway and marveling at all
the fat women I saw that day. Probably just a coincidence,
but there were fat women in the parking lot before I even
entered the store. But what really impressed me was
a mother/daughter pair, the daughter being maybe about
20 years old. Both about 300 pounds, with a strong
family resemblance. I suppose it makes mom feel more
comfortable when the daughter takes after her, and the
daughter feels free to indulge without restraint.
