I read somewhere that theres a tiny island near Austraila or somewhere with about a 80% obiesity rate. *shrug* Can't remember the name though, so that kinda makes it irrelevant.
IMO yes, America is a fat nation. I saw a lot of fat people when I visited. (Yes I know I hardly saw an accurate slice of American culture/representation of people blahblahblah)
England is fat too, loads of fat kids....I find it scary.
I blame robots. They are doing all of our jobs for us so that we gain weight, and then when they take over the world we'll be too fat to fight back.
Lindy pretty much pissed over this entire thing. Honourable mentions to Neel and Hawkeye, though. :D
QUICKLY! HE KNOWS! >_>Quote:

Because they can afford to be. Simple as that. If any other country had that kind of GNP, they'd probably have that kind of overweight-rate too. Also there's genetics, which regardless of what anyone says, does have a lot to do with it. I'm proof - I eat craploads, including greasy rolls every morning at work. I'm a very lazy person and do very little exercise. I'm still fit, though, because I guess I was just born lucky like that. I can do 20 push ups at any point of the day without trouble because I'm insanely light, again because of genetics. Statistics for being overweight are not directly linked to statistics for being healthy, and should never be used in such a manner. I know of athletes that are overweight, and probably some of the fittest people I know.
EDIT: I will not accept ANY more insulting remarks in this thread. That includes insults towards groups and individuals. If you even think that you might have done this, then you can consider yourself warned. That, at the very least, includes Lindy and Chris, but I'm sure it includes more than just them - I've just forgotten the other names already.
Just for the record, most schools have 7 hour school days. It's been like that in 8 or schools I've enrolled in. And only about half of the 50-minute Gym period is spent doing excecise, except in elementary when you don't have to do the locker room or anything. Anyway, one of the stupidest things my school could of done was actually make it impossible to enroll in Gym both semesters without having to use a false identity.Quote:

I don't feel safe riding a bike in the heavy before school traffic because of the lazy slobs living in the same neighborhood as the school feeling they need a ride, so I had two choices: bus or walk. Walking at an average 3.5mph, it would take almost 4.86 hours to get to school. Not to mention Colorado morning in the winter are normally below freezing, which would hinder my progress further. So, I have to take the bus for the sake of time.
Besides the fact that many students avoid doing physical activity during PE at all costs. Mile club my ass!
That's true too, theQuote:

Can we please avoid terms such as 'fatty fat fat fats' now? Thanks.
I hate it when some slob mom comes along and bitches that she couldn't find a close parking spot by the mall. Then she wonders why she is overweight. I hate slob moms.
I have no idea why I thought of that.
Reading, to me it seems like the point of your thread is to win in a 'Whose continent is the fittest' competition.Quote:

Also, people would've asked for validation of any statistic posted without a source of proof.
I think people bitch about not being able to find a close parking spot regardless of whether or not they are a slob, or a Mom.Quote:

Probably because we have so many damned treats and like places for every kind of food on earth. ANd live over 100 different places to get fsatfood. We have tacobell stores, Duches, Mcdonald's, burgerking, Arby's, and more. And corner stores.
Good job man, you should write a book.Quote:
