Probably not the most accurate source, but wikipedia has this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_States[^] "While many industrialized countries have experienced similar increases, obesity rates in the United States are among the highest in the world with as of 2007 74.1 % of the adults being overweight or obese.[2]" The 74% seems high but that includes over weight people as well as obese people. And here's another link that's just for obese people: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity[^] The US is ranked highest with a 30% obesity rate.

I disagree. In most developing/developed countries, fat people are usually poor people. Poor people buy cheap carbs for eating. Doing a well balanced diet with proteins is much more expensive. Also poor people don't have the time and the money to stay fit going to a gym.

There are no skinny people :)
Yes there are! What there never appears to be is normal people. It's as if there is a law: "If you are fat and dieting, stay indoors. If you are skinny and eating lots, stay indoors." I just haven't seen anyone in the middle ground on any of my trips there...
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Very Un-PC, very old and very funny. Now for balance we should let our cousins across the water let rip about English stereotypes such as the Upper Class Twit and warm beer. :doh:

I would like to see the statistics to prove that statement. I'm not saying your wrong...you very well could be right.
I know you're second person on this thread who can't spell 'you're', but it's just too much for me to take.
