a roomful of people who were not fat
Here’s a completely irrelevant post. Last night Steve and I attended a fundraising banquet to support research to cure cystic fibrosis. To make a long story short, the brother of Steve’s boss is very involved in the fight against CF, as two of his three children have the disease.
To learn more about CF, visit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
The meal was quite good (and I took advantage of it, having planned things so that yesterday could be a maintenance day), but upon reflection, here’s what I remember most about last night:
Most of the people there were of normal weight!
This is not the norm, folks. But it was great.
I don’t know what the explanation is–and after all, this took place in Tennessee, by all reports one of the fatter states in the Union. But perhaps most of the people there are living with CF patients–and perhaps that makes them try extra hard to provide healthy food for their families. Wild guess, but I’m not sure what could explain it.
