Yesterday was an Ann Arbor day for us, we went down to see The Boy's Surgeon for a follow up. He is doing so well that he was cut loose! We are all done. No more trips back down for check-ups, yea! The Boy was so good through this whole ordeal, we have all been very proud of him.
To celebrate, mom and I took him to lunch; restaurant of his choice. We stopped at the mall down there to see what we could find. They have a place called the California Pizza Kitchen, The food was amazing, and not too far off plan! Mom and I split a Spinach Artichoke pizza and The Boy devoured an entire pizza on his own (big surprise!).
We decided to wander the mall a bit after, and I was again amazed at the number of stores that cater to people who are itty-bitty when most of America is now "super-sized". I mean, come on; how do these people make any money? Do they not listen to the news or read any papers on online news sites? Here is a little stat for them from Reuters:
Numbers posted by the National Center for Health Statistics show that more than 34 percent of Americans are obese, compared to 32.7 percent who are overweight. It said just under 6 percent are "extremely" obese.

Using those statistics (as scary as they are) all of these itty-bitty people clothing stores can not sell to approximately 73% of the people in America! Seems to me they are missing a large (pardon the pun) market share!
I dont' get it, I do not understand why there are not more clothing options for roly-poly people like me. Granted I'm less roly than I was, but I'm still quite poly and I do need clothing just like everyone else. And hey! I like cute clothes too!!!!
Get with the program people! 73% of Americans want cute clothes and you are missing out on selling to us!!!!!
