First off, making posts like that is not acceptable. That is a borderline personal attack, something we do not permit on this site.

I note you say "Americans" as if you are not American yourself. Which implies to me that you do not live in America, and thus cannot see Americans on a regular basis.

I, on the other hand do. If you'll note, I never actually SAID that it was 12%. I merely said I could and it would have the same validity as your statement.

If you want some discussion on this, you will give me a valid and supported statistic. Otherwise, you will be dismissed. I live in America and I know for a fact that nowhere NEAR 67% of all Americans are overweight. You can see this, as you so eloquently put it, by looking outside.

Frankly I personally couldn't care less whether my country is overweight or not. I'm not, so I'm fine. However, someone who seems to think they can get away with making sweeping statements and generalizations annoys me to no end, so if you want to be taken seriously you WILL give me good numbers and facts.
