That you make it sound like everyone in America is fat? "Americans suck, they're so fat and stupid and lazy" "Americans are like whales" "Americans are wastes of space and don't exercise so they're fat" "Fat Fat FAT!" They usually end up something like that. I mean I don't see that many fat people around here. And studies show that only 30 percent of the population is obese. It's really not that much.

64% of America is overweight or obese. Our culture is based around cars - biking/walking is very rare, compared to Europe or Asia. Our diets are disgusting. We put so much shit into our bodies, it's unsurprising that diabetes is so common.
It's called a stereotype, just like how I have bad teeth, drink tea all day and am wearing a top hat.
30% isn't much?
Automatic American hate initiating after this post.
[QUOTE=PrismatexV6;16404533]Yeah, but 50% is overweight.[/QUOTE] Try like 25%, if that.
[QUOTE=Callius;16404542]It's called a stereotype, just like how I have bad teeth, drink tea all day and am wearing a top hat.[/QUOTE] Lucky bastards get a cool stereotype.

Idk about 50 percent, but im in so-cal... Nobodys fat.

I'd try to change the thread title if I was you. Anyway, it's because of how many people live off of fast food.
Thank god america is fat, more room on their fatty planes.
When you insult America, you're insulting freedom. :911:
It's a stereotype; every country has to deal with it. Apparantly I have bad teeth (yeah, my front teeth are fucked but that is because I had a seizure and fell forward onto them, but that is it), I drink tea (actually, I hate tea and drink coffee), and wear a top hat (never have done, never likely to do). Live with it, like everyone else does.
Wait, 30%, my bad: [url]http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity[/url] The UK has the highest percent of obese males in the world: [url]http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe_in_men-health-obesity-in-men[/url]
When I insult America I insult your joke of a government, silly.

We've processed nature to the extent where almost everything has lost all nutritional value beyond superficial labels like "FAT FREE!" "HIGH IN PROTEIN!" when in reality, there's so many never-mentioned components that keep our bodies healthy (which we process out of our food). That's why we're getting so messed up with things like diabetes.

If Americans didn't insult us with the stereotype of us all talking like the queen and drinking tea then there'd be no need to bring in the fat jokes, and vice versa.
It's not just fat-insults. I like to use the; Stupid-Americans, insult!
