Here's a thought

Is the clothing industry complicit in the obesity of America?  David and I bacame quite the prokers over our years together.  No, it wasn't to the point of lypo suction stage, but it was quite significant.  I went from my sexy little 32" waist to a 40", and David from a 30" to a 36".  OUCH!!.  So, we changed our diet and eating habits (they are different) and we both managed to get to a 36" waist.  We seem to be stuck there, but that's fine.  So, we bought a bunch of new jeans at 36".  This was about a year and a half ago.  We have one pair of jeans (36") that were purchased, I gotta say, 5 years ago.  Now, the most recent jeans purchases we both have to wear with belts because they are too baggy.  Keep in mind that these are both the same style: Levi's original 501.  I put on the pair that were purchased 5 years ago today.  I did not have to wear a belt and actually, they were a little snug about the waist.  Point is, are clothing manufactureres mislabeling their product in an effort to make the American public think they are getting thinner?
