Woo for running Cross Country.
I am fit, skinny, and WILL be a part of the elite minority.
i for one welcome our new doughboy overlords
I weigh 50kg at 180cm. My metabolism won't slow down for decades too; i got it from my mother who never stopped being skinny; and my brother is 22 and still on the verge of anorexia.
I'm gonna be king skinny motherfucker, and all these obese chumps will be my subjects.

Track is much better for you.
The government needs to stop subsidizing corn, therefore making cheap shitty food cheap shitty food by making high fructose corn syrup so much easier and cheaper to make than regular sugar. Once healthy food starts being on par with unhealthy food in price, THEN things might change, but nothing is going to as it is now.

In this day and age being fat is a conscious choice for 99% of people. They just don't care and continue to eat bad foods and sit in front of the tv.
Indian food is really fucking good and is good for you, I would recommend eating that shit.
Japan has some of the world's lowest rates of obesity and do you know why? they eat alot of fish. So people who want to get in shape, eat fish!

I just wanted to throw that out there before everyone thinks obesity is only America's problem.[/QUOTE]
Yeah the UK just wanted to follow the american trade of being fat.
Defined by BMI?
Pfft, this is a joke. I have a BMI of 43.7, I am not even remotely close to obese.
EDIT: While I will admit obesity and being overwieght is a problem with the US, Canada, Europe et all. BMI is a horrible way to define it and just leads to skewed numbers. 30% or so of the people over 30 BMI probably aren't obese at all. Some probably aren't even overwieght.
