Everyday on facepunch, people kid each other about Americans being fat. I didn't really care and kind of thought it was exaggerated. But today I witnessed something that made me realize it was all true.
Note: I'm not fat myself, so it kind of made me think it was untrue
I went to a kids baseball game today, because my friends little brother was in it. It's a 7-10 year old team. So I was watching the first kid as he went up to bat. He swung at the ball and hit it then continued to run to first. He tripped and started crying. This is when i noticed it. This kid had a gut hanging over his pants. I looked at the dugout, 60% of the kids were just like him. I was amazed that I was too stupid to really look at this before. Immediately after i stop thinking about it, an ice cream truck comes by. I kept watching how all the kids in the stands, and the ones playing, were salivating over the ice cream truck, even though after every game they get ice cream anyway. So I ignore that and see a fat 12 year old girl and her obese 6 year old sister come back with the biggest ice cream they could get. I watched out of the corner of my eye how sloppy this little sister was and how the mom didn't even care. I went back to watching the game and i heard the sister complaining. She wanted another one. I couldn't believe that the mom gave into it. She bought another ice cream for a 6 year old who probably was already over 100 pounds. After being so disgusted by this, i left the game. Seriously. It is going to embarrass me now every time i look at a mother giving a little fat girl calories after calories. This is what stereotypes americans as fat. It's because parents think their kid is best and if they don't give them the "Chocolate brownie sunday" that evening, they won't love them anymore. I'm ticked off. Share your opinions.
TL:DR Americans are fat

They could be diabetic for all you know and have to eat a lot of sugar products to keep their levels up.
Its scary but true that the majority of kids are becoming obese.
I have noticed that if the people around your are skinny, then you will most likely try to emulate them. But if the poeple around you are fat, you don't care.

Eating fat is a likely cause for most of their diabeties.
I once saw a man in a restaurant who was literally like a balloon.
So America has meat on them and everywhere else you are all skin and bones?

Unfortunately a lot of Americans these days are acquiring more than just a little meat on their bones.

Wait Britain isn't England?

Britain = United Kingdom = England + Wales + Ireland + Scotland
England = England

Oh I thought he meant that England wasn't in Britain, false alarm. Carry on.

do you know how does the diabetes works?
Australia has the highest ratio of fat to not fat in the world.
We're just an easier target.

Diabetes is the exact opposite of that. It's when the body can't regulate the blood sugar, thus people with diabetes should avoid high sugar foods.

Yes, you get diabetes for various reasons.

95% of which are from eating fatty foods.

Diabetes is down to genetics. You're more likely to get it if you have family members who also have diabetes.
