I guees its the easiest way to make people feel better about themselves. But even though this may make them feel better they still are not healthy...so really they are not winning. Eating better and excercising is the best choice from my opinion. I was eating really bad and gaining wait fast so I did what I had to and threw away anything unhealthy and try to stay away from crap food and started going to the gym. Its amazing how much better I feel. But I figure some people just don't have the strength to take that route!

People really have become Pu**ies. They can't handle anything anymore, and they block themselves from reality.

My wife has been telling me that info about the sizing for years. She says it makes it confusing to try and order anything since you never know what the true size is.

That is true my wife tells me the same thing all the time also...thats why we usually only try things on or we order from a company we have bought from already. Otherwise you will never know!
If I had a dollar for every time I've had to sit in one of those overstuffed leather chairs waiting and waiting, I'd have a nice stack of bills.
