From drib:
How very true and timely in my case. I recently returned from a trip in the North Western States (not the Pacific NW) to see some of our countries natural treasures. Besides seeing tons of fat asses who all seemed to be rocking the Kate Gosselin haircut (No shit, from ages 20-60. Very scary.) I had an experience in a small room in a museum at Mount Rushmore. While reading about and pondering the balls of the man who created the Mt. Rushmore sculpture I couldnt help but hear the heavy breathing, grunts and cries of “Jesus Christ” coming from behind me.
I turned around to find five other people in the room with me of whom were ALL morbidly obese. Not just fat, but freakshow fat! we are talking 500lbs and up. All sweating and leaning against the walls except for one couple who managed find a bench made for four that could only hold the two of them. They were an interracial couple. He was black she was white. On her lap was a newborn baby who looked in scale like a normal sized turd for her. Thank God the child will have no memory of its descent from her Big Mac encrusted crotch into the folds of her elephantine thighs. The same cannot be said for the OBGYN who had to witness this horror show. Unless of course the child wound up in a toilet bowl because its mother thought it was merely a sack of White Castles that just went bad?
I realized then in that room that at 5 11 and 165lbs I was an evolutionary throwback for that moment. A neanderthal in a brave new world of sweat, sloth, grunting and type 2 diabetes. God help us.
The hallowed rock began to creak and groan. The family of five needed to be airlifted out in bedsheets before ol’ George broke his back.
Disgusting.
Was at the bank this morning.
Harrowing experience.
Fat fat fattily fat.
What the hell is wrong with us?
Fat used to mean an extra 10 lbs. Now it’s size 12 and not avoiding fat, but avoiding clinically obese.
Fuck, this country is disgusting.
We need to tax fat people.
But seriously, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US?
I mean, my God, the whole world is laughing at our blubbery asses.

Fat white women! This trend being of them teaming up with team diversity (America’s most important asset, don’t ya know) is interesting because, ten years or more years ago in my early days, it seemed that obese white women were getting hitched to closeted gays or really, really effeminate skinny white men; the proverbial bowling ball and pin couple.
Now, I guess there’s an outlet for them that provides more than just companionship. Ain’t excess testosterone great?

The portion sizes in America are truly disgusting at most restaurants. There is no shame at all about being 300 pounds it is accommodated ie: drive thru fast food. Great-it’s not enough to shove a 3,000 calorie meal into your system-but you don’t even have to get off your ass to get it, just sit in your car and chomp chomp.

The food industry (General Mills, McDonalds, etc.) has taken all of the fiber and nutrients out of everything. All we have left are different combinations of white flour, canola oil, high fructose corn syrup, “natural flavorings”, and Red #6.
If we simply banned all foods that came in brightly colored boxes and added sugar we’d be way ahead of the game. Americans would also need to stop watching so much TV so they’d have time to actually cook a meal, rather than nuke a hot pocket.

Earlier post on FAT people I (Asian) said it’s what we eat and you ARE what you eat and keep on moving don’t stop!!! Be Active people!!! Stop being lazy. I have drawn another conclusion. I think using more brain power can burn more fat. Mental energy exerted can greatly improve metabolism. I’m 5’2″ 102 pound (female) and I burn a lot of mental energy EVERYDAY and you should see me chow down a 14 ounce steak….I mentioned before. Tofu is NOT the only food on my menu.

It’s lifestyle, mostly. People are too sedentary. No-one “needs” to expend calories unless they set aside a specific time and place to do so — unless they schedule it. When a country’s lifestyle is so fucked up that people must schedule exercise times in order to remain fit, you’re going to see most people sliding into unfitness.
Many other countries do not have the degree of sedentary culture we do — people still walk a lot, for example, to go shopping or out on the town. People walk or bike to work. People use public transit, which makes them walk a lot, go up and down stairs a lot and so on. In most of the US, people walk to and from their cars, and that’s that — because life is not structured around walking, but around driving. It’s not that the thin Euros and Asians are all gym rats — not at all. The whole lifestyle is more active. In the US, our default lifestyle is inactive, so we have to add “activity hour” into our already busy schedules — which most people will not do, resulting in the obesity epidemic.

Trimegistus, corporations are part of the problem. It’s impossible to research the effects of all the crap in the food. This is why the FDA should force them write on the food whatever bad things they do. Or the US should do away with the FDA completely since it does more harm than good in the medical part.
Still, the problem is that nobody in a family thinks about what to eat. We used to do that and we used to cook. Now it’s all premade crap. That’s the problem in the lazy part, even bigger than exercising. And obviously, the new series of Sex and the City is more important than reading books on nutrition.

The obesity trend is picking up fast in France (where I used to live), in Holland, Belgium, Germany…
There are very, very few extremely obese people in those countries, but the “general level of fattiness” is increasing. It’s hard to find slender women in Holland these days. It’s mostly your “average ass but with bigger boobs” type. From what I saw, the average ass there is still slimmer than in the US, but it’s catching up. Sad, really.
As for Russia, where I live now, a fringe population got wide but the fat epidemic seems contained and stays away from most of the people under 35 y.o.
Increase in career-oriented people means girls are getting married later, meaning they have to stay in shape or get lost. Thank god, competition is fierce in Moscow.

Novaseeker (as usual) is entirely correct. But why is America so sedentary? Because we must live far, far away from everything to avoid NAMs.
Exurbs require cars, because they are built upon avoiding NAMs as much as possible, by great distance from them. Hence everything and anything you want to do requires cars.

Dream Puppy,

Miami Beach shouldn’t be counted as part of the US when it comes to fatness. I was there a few weeks ago and it’s a whole other universe. Living in an area like that almost forces you to be thin.
In downtown Orlando and other “nicer” parts of CFL the people tend to stay in shape. The women who live in my condo complex are knockouts and the men stay trim. Go 30 minutes south in some of the burbs and it’s a whole different story.
Roissy and others have mentioned it before, but the thin, good looking people gravitate toward coastal and urban areas and the competition tends to keep them thin. I see pictures of people I went to HS with 20 years ago in Missouri and it’s a freak show. When I was in Wisconsin the high school girls were BEAUTIFUL. Most of the older ones out of college were heifers.
