It's wild Everett managed to be morbidly obese back then. I wonder how big he'd be in today's world?
I'm not really mad at him, just an observation.
@MeDuViNoX @Rolando he's not morbidly obese, he's approaching deadly geometric perfection. Like a cannonball, or a sphere of red-hot nickel, or the Demon Core.

What's crazy is just how fast that happened.
Go look at pictures of kids in the 70s. They were all bone skinny, like there was no such thing as food.
Same thing for the most part in the 80s....but you had a few chubbies around.
Then in the 90s, kids were a bit fatter, but still not actually fat. But there were some fat kids running around.
By the 2000s, there were more fat kids than skinny ones.
In the 2010s, the idea of skinny kids was rare.
And now in the 2020s I see kids that weigh more than I do as a 41 year old adult.
But the 70s in terms of human evolution wasn't that long ago. Hell, 100 years wasn't THAT long ago. But to see kids go from weighing 40lbs to 300lbs is truely baffling.
And now consider that 100 years ago life was harder. You had to do everything manually. You had to work for it. You had to burn calories.
Now everything is instant and automatic.
