[QUOTE="Jack Shootza 50, post: 3865283, member: 49036"] When I was a kid cops were all skinny and wirery, today that is rare, heart attach's, strokes and cancer are the three most common diseases for men to die from, due mainly from over weight and lack of activity. Even the military has more obesity in it today, when I went thru basic we had ONE fat kid that couldn't keep up in a fast march, the TI hounded him constantly and we all thought he'd die of a heart attack but he hung in there and by the end of basic when we finally had to do our final mile run in ten minutes he passed with flying colors, because he lost 60 pounds so we made up a "silver" star out of a piece of wood and me and a buddy of mine did the paint and lettering on it and presented it to him after we all got our graduation certificates. It read " For extreme perseverance way above and beyond the call of duty" He was more excited about that than passing basic. I have a grandson that is 5-11 and weighs over 300 pounds and he worrys the hell out of me, in high school he was very athletic and weighed about 170 but he's 25 now and doesn't do anything but sit on his ass, he wants to be a novel writer and he's very good at it but I'm afraid he won't make it "Stephen King famous" if he doesn't start exercising and watching his diet.
