[b][Edit][/b] We need thread music. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzWSJG93P8[/media] [b][/Edit][/b] Well this certainly is NOT the future. I don't recall any visionary who predicted that more than 25% of the population will be practically immobile. I couldn't find a better graph that shows obesity/percent~year so the following graph will also have savings on it.

The future fat Americans won't have money for McDonald's and will go on a cannibalistic, ass-raping (and then eating) rampage! Let's try to stop this!

The picture is un-realated
Start adding some celery in your diet.
I feel ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. But at the same time, being part of the population that is actually Healthy and Athletic makes me feel good. I guess.

Haha, nevermind.
Fun fact: This guy, who is a 6'1" male who weighs 230 pounds and plays college american football, is considered OBESE by the BMI system: [media]http://www.buckslocalsports.com/uploaded_images/Jay-Colbert-769355.JPG[/media] [url]http://www.buckslocalsports.com/2009/02/just-win-baby.html[/url] The BMI chart: [url]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Body_mass_index_chart.svg[/url] Apparently, having a little bit of muscle mass to you and not also being freakishly tall means you are obese and are a "health risk". BMI is so retardedly flawed I'm surprised people still use it as a legit statistic for/against obesity rates.
Hey man obese people are gonna be the next source of stem cells. America gonna save the world by being obese GG. Source: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=807819[/url]

I guess you guys need your own special chart, which I'm sure you do. All BMI charts need to be made for the particular age group, race etc.

It doesn't take into account your age, you genetic body type, and most importantly the actual thickness/size of your girth/flab. Or, maybe that isn't a problem at all. Maybe the real issue is that 99% of people think obesity = grotesquely fat, when in "according to BMI" Obesity [I]really[/I] = weighs more than the average for your height. And I don't blame them for saying something like 230 at 6'1" is overweight-than-the-average, considering BMI stands for Body Mass Index, which would imply an index of pure mass, not counting anything else. But whoever invented BMI falsely claims that those with a higher BMI = Obese, when only in certain cases that is true. But everyone likes to fall for it anyways.
[QUOTE=Craptasket;17274171]government needs to step in, and burn our fat.[/QUOTE] Ha! Government do shit all. In Australia the government simply made it so that school kids have to do 2 hours of physical activity a week. Just because the sport is mandatory doesn't mean you have to participate in it.
Don't worry all teh fattys will die out when the worlds society collapse
