88% of all statistics are made up.
I honestly don't see all these fat people the statistics talk about.
I live in America.
I see like maybe 3/10, 3 being the fatties.

Because what do economists really know more than you?
Oh, right, statistics and trend forecasting, which is what this article is talking about. You may not agree with the measure they're using, but the prediction is probably pretty solid for the measure they're using.

You do realize 3/10 is 30%, right? That's higher than the national rate of obesity. (obese people being what you would probably consider a fattie)
It's aload of bullshit.

That's what creationists say about evolution.
I'm doing my part. I ride my bike for an hour a day.
Now I just need to change how I eat.
My dad, formerly extremely overweight, lost 40 pounds just by deciding to eat meat once a day.

Evidence and fact?

Unintentional pun intentionally kept
Good thing the entire billions of people outside of the U.S. are fit and healthy.

Since when were >1,000,000,000 people starving being "healthy"?

News Flash.
You more than likely were or will be fat at some point in your life. America isn't the only country with problems you ignorant little shit.
[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25006537]Keep in mind that "overweight" includes being even slightly over your recommended weight, which more often than not isn't something that'd be considered fat.
The US (and all developed nations, really) should start focusing on making healthy food cheaper than unhealthy food. That would help tremendously considering the disproportionate amount of poor people who are also fat.[/QUOTE]
Tapwater is cheaper than pop and making your own meals is cheaper than fast food.
Tips to stay healthy: Eat a balanced diet of homemade food, drink water instead of pop, and don't eat candy or deserts on a regular basis.

He was being sarcastic you twonk. He's implying that there's plenty of fat people outside the United States.
[QUOTE=GodKing;25004126]Stop drinking pop and eating cheeseburgers, dumbasses.
Anyone who rates me dumb is fat and can't stop drinking pop and eating cheeseburgers.[/QUOTE]
Cheeseburgers aren't even bad for you. Unless you get them from McDonalds because they more than likely have trans fats
I hate being obese :sigh:

actual McDonalds hamburgers are the healthiest
well in the US anyway

Seriously? Brb mcdonalds i dont even give a shit anymore.
Whenever you want to drink pop or soda drink water and when you want to eat fast food eat vegetables or home cooked food. Obesity solved. (Also eat nothing fried)
80 years ago fat people were sideshow attractions because it was so incredbly rare. And when I mean fat, I mean the *modestly fat* of todays standards.

Exercise and eat less calories than you spend
Obesity solved. You don't have to overcomplicate this shit.

McChicken's got 430 calories and no trans fat that's pretty good
[QUOTE=Grey;25009592]I hate being obese :sigh:[/QUOTE]
Then stop eating so much and go for a run.
Fuck
I don't exercise nor do I care if I eat a cheeseburger or what.
Hey and look I'm not fat what so ever

What I can say I guess I'm lucky

To be fair its actually quite hard to get un-fat unless you just stop eating entirely (which is not healthy)
If you are obese, and you start getting into the habit of healthy eating and exercise NOW, then maybe in 3 years or so you'll be back in the normal weight range.
I find it fucking hilarious that you americans made up the word "obese" because the fatasses felt bad when they were called "fat" and didn't want to be reminded of it.
In few years "obese" will be an offensive word and it will be replaced by something like "slightly rounder".

I don`t know, Obese sounds worse to me. Its a gross-sounding word.

Not really. Burn like 300-500 more calories a day than you use and you'll probably be able to drop 80 lbs or more in a year.

No, you're just unhealthy. And you'll probably get fat when you grow out of the teenage metabolism
i find that people who eat a lot are skinny and people who eat little are chubby
just from personal experience
but then again the people who eat little do little and people who eat a lot do a lot
