Why Americans Are Fat

[Guest strelcevina]

TN is one or 3 Fattest places in US.

This is answer to all those Bacon treads, and how proud are fat people are, when they talk about eating fat food

[Guest m14man]

lets ban fast food!!!!

[JReedEsq]

If by "ban" you mean vote with our dollars not to purchase the stuff then I'm all for it. I've been a Mickey D's may 2-3 times a year for the past 10 years and that's mainly to purchase coffee.

Surely you wouldn't advocate a "gov't knows what's best for us" "ban" consisting of a bunch of rules and regulations?

They are fat because they eat too much and what they do eat is often the wrong foods. More exercise would help immensely.

Recently I stopped at the New River Bridge. At the visitor center there is a board walkway with lots of steps down to a couple viewing points. I walked down to take a look as I had never been there before. The number of people out of breath coming back up the steps was embarrassing. I'm talking about young kids to young adults... huffing and puffing their way up the stairs. These folks should be in the absolute prime of their lives and the excertion should be absolutely nothing. Add fat to that and you know the result.

Outlaw bacon? From my cold, dead hands!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest blackbeltchick]

I can only speak for myself, I like to cook + I love to bake = eating. I'm very active every day and I still find it hard to lose weight. :-\

[Guest SUNTZU]

I hope the government will pass a law or twelve to make me diet. I can't do it without them. I've even tried Jimmy Tango's Fat Busters.

ride the snake on Yahoo! Video

I would take time to examine this thread more thoroughly, but I have to finish my second Double Whopper and fries . . .

[Guest bkelm18]

I'm fat because my caloric intake is greater than or equal to my caloric output. AKA I love food and hate exercise and that's ok by me.

[Guest SUNTZU]

I hear you will burn a lot of calories trying to stay warm in a bread line. That, and you're starving.

Bread has a lot of carbs in it though....

I am on the see food diet

[VERO1]

I am fat because I want to collect on Obammas "Cash for Fatties" stimulus plan! I think they are paying it in McDonalds gift certificates!

[Aviator]

I am on a fork lift (to mouth) diet

[frankmako]

we are fat because we don't have hard job and we have to much food.

I am not fat. I am overweight according to some screwed up height/weight chart. My wife that is also overweight on the same height/weight chart just out ran 30 co-workers in a 5K charity race. Even though she exercises daily and is not FAT she is part of the FAT statistic adding to the OP chart.

I do see alot more fat kids and adults than I did when I was a kid.

Back in the olden days, plumpness was a sign of prosperity.

I may start running to the grocery store instead of driving. That way I can only buy the amount of bacon that I can run home with. My motivation will be to get stronger so I can run with more pounds of bacon.

I have no idea why I'm fat. I spend my days in a tiny office off of a room full of servers, and I like food. Can't imagine why that would make me fat.
