> a) how do you know 'tons of obese people'

Not the parent, but that's really easy. Much easier to know a ton of obese people than a ton of anorexic people.

For instance, I'm on the low end of obese (by American standards). If you take myself and about 5-6 of the people I see at Friday Night Magic, that's one ton right there.

That was an incredibly clever comeback.
