Because, my husband's family are all overweight, unhealthy people while my family are athletic people in good health. It's like the pot calling the kettle black, I think.

It is always better to not judge others harshly.
Thankyou. I recall all the Kirby Heyborne hatred that stirred among Mormons when he appeared in a Miller commerical. Anyone who cannot judge the good and evil between a man providing for his family and a person writing hate mail needs to take some lessons. The snobby better-than-you attitude will damn the Mormons a lot more than Miller time will ever harm the guys down at the tavern. At least they have a good time. Meanwhile I am supposed to believe those do-gooder haters have a real happiness unknown to the others. I've never heard someone say that they are so happy they are writing hate mail.
