Maybe it's just me, but I think it looks like Pepto-Bismol failure in a cup.

Ah, a wee bit of the Streisand effect going here I see! Guess he can't keep quiet about being kept quiet.

The tough part is finding one that serves food with quality good enough to make me want to come back. I'll go with friends, but it better be one with good food or I'll just stay home.

Thanks. I had considered mentioning my own experiences, but the comment was already long enough. I have been both underweight and overweight in my adult life and can absolutely attest to the truth of your statements. Trying to fight your natural body type can really wreck your physical and mental health.
As for the diet an exercise go... I have a rail-thin friend that has a diet that consists of mostly sugar and bread. Their health is terrible.
I also have an overweight vegan friend that has a great diet, but they do exactly zero exercise. They eventually wound up in the hospital ICU due to blood clots from too much sitting.

This is an incredibly complex subject. Being wealthy and healthy is generally part of being attractive. Suffice to say, on average, being overweight isn't great for your health. Being obese is worse.
In days long past, only rich people could afford to eat enough to be overweight, thus "attractive" in the sense that they were likely to be reasonably well off, financially speaking. These days it is easy to become overweight with junk food, but in the past you had to eat "real food." So, being overweight isn't really giving you the whole picture anymore.
I think fat-shaming is actively harmful and can lead people into eating disorders, depression, and worse. I don't think we should be criticizing others for their weight, nor should we glorify unhealthy lifestyles. Live and let live, but give people the best information we have so they can make informed decisions.

It looks to me like they had a better time at the wedding than I did. Not everyone needs a big-budget, picture-perfect wedding to be happy.
I say, "Congrats to the new couple!"

This year is spectacular. I'm laughing so hard I'm in tears, and I think I woke up my roommate.

Sure, they're offering replacement for free, this time...

The hugging thing reminds me of a time a police dog bit a reporter on the face after the reporter put his arm around the dog's shoulders.
