New Orleans and Corona

I lived just outside Orleans Parish in Jefferson Parish for 20 years and the only thing I miss is the food.

I had the Beignet's at Cafe Du Monde at Jackson Square and I really didn't like them. One bite and I was done.

Considering one order is 3 square pieces of dough, fried and covered with powdered sugar, 527 calories, 102 grams of processed carbs, and 11 grams of saturated fat, it is no wonder a bunch of unhealthy looking fat people were walking around, sweating and drunk on Bourbon Street. I didn't like the place, either. The hookers all looked like transvestites so I left them alone, too.

The comorbidities associated with such unhealthy behavior will no doubt contribute to high mortality rates among those infected during Mardi Gras.

I’ve been going to NOLA for 30yrs. Much worse things can happen to you than covid19 there.

if I'm right, shouldn't the "peak" cases have occurred 2 weeks ago? I get that infected people would pass it along, but the stats suggest a 30 day (or longer) cresting, not 2 weeks like we have been told. or could it be that since we didn't know about quarantining for 2 weeks, on Fat Tuesday, New Orleans never had a chance to limit spread?

by the way, this idea of limited "re-opening" of the Country, based on County data, is doomed, IMO.. the "okay" Counties are almost all rural, non-producing areas.. couple that with the near Global shutdown, what makes anyone think our economy could perform worth crap?

Oh hell, Tran, quit beating around the bush and just come out and say what you really want to say......

IT’S ALL PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FAULT

Yeah, should have left out the Beignets, just an attempt at humor but eating un-healthy is a "staple" of a New Orleans diet that's for sure.

I remember all the 350 pound black women crying on camera that George Bush was starving them back when it flooded. He’d have been doing them a favor.

fuck, I liked them.. when I went a few years ago (dig up my review from the Strip Club), I went at 3:30 a.m, to avoid lines.. then loaded up my car with Yuengling Beer as I departed the city. God bless New Orleans!

I get the impression 350 pound women "feel" like they are starving all the time.

I know I starve them of attention, except for circumstances as described below.

It certainly is. Sometimes when I see a 350 pound woman waddling down the street I yell helpful dietary advice to them but they usually misinterpret my kind intent.

When 350-pounders got mentioned .... I couldn't even hear crickets!

I want to puke every time I hear one of these celebrities say how sexy Lizzo is.

Celebrating this fatass is more dangerous than Coronavirus.

How the fuck does anyone call that sexy?

No shit! Celebrating adiposopathy might encourage people to continue unhealthy eating habits, combined with insufficient exercise, and lead to further deterioration in health outcomes for a large part of the US population.

It isn't about just about appearance (although her fucking cellulite makes me puke) or mortality. Sick fat causes very real and negative quality of life issues.

Among them are becoming a frail old man like Yssup Rider that a little old lady could beat up.

Celebrities are all on this "no more fat shaming " kick which of course flies in the face of the healthy eating and exercise message.


The message from the celebrity community should be "nobody should look like this because it is bad for your health and the fact is, you don't have to look like this, you don't have to accept this as an alternative lifestyle because it will likely kill you" but that ain't gonna happen in the music, movie business.
