On the way home from work today I stopped for groceries at the local supermarket. As I walked by the handicapped parking I noticed a family loading up their GMC van. The family consisted of mom, dad, and two young adult daughters. Mom and dad looked to be about 50 and were both a little chubby. The daughters were both extremely fat (easily fat enough to warrant the handicapped placard). The smaller of the two was at least 450 pounds, the larger about 600 pounds. They were obviously suffering in the 100 plus degree heat. The smaller sister had to help push the larger into the van. The larger sister then helped pull her smaller sister in.
It occurred to me that these two young ladies were totally dependent upon their not so young parents. Once their parents can no longer provide care and transportation these women are going to be in a very difficult situation. I know that this is a size positive site but I'm not seeing anything positive about the situation these young women are in.
