Outside of the humour involved, what is your precise complaint?

You do realise that, especially in the US, almost everyone is fat, yes? That there is an epidemic of this?

And that it is getting worse.

As a general rule, many people considered lean today, would be considered fat 100 years ago.

This is the joke, and also the truth. And amusingly if you visit these smaller, older houses, you will actually find narrower internal doors, stairs and halls in many of them.

Even bedrooms are smaller, and were meant for smaller beds.

Thus humorous thought then lends to the idea, is the lair's size and dimensions a contributor to size? We know environment can cause genetic expression, after all.

The comment is what you make of it.

You've taken offence for some reason. Why?
