Actually the southern US is the fattest country ever.

At least I wish they were their own separate country. 😉

Again I repeat. Your typical 30-50 year old that this article is talking about is NOT fit in the least bit. It's a very simple, objective scale that is geared at the general public.

If you are fit, you don't have to care about BMI. For the other 60%+ of the US in that age group, it's a simple measuring stick of relative weight problems.

yeah but this is ATOT. we're all atheletic, well paid, drive sports cars, and give the best cunnilingus or fellatio ever.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear some of the men on ATOT give world class fellatio...
 
WTFBBQ!!! Can the US be good at anything anymore? We got the Aussies out fatting us and the UK and Mexico are some fish and chips and a side order of a burrito from putting the US into 4th fattest. Sounds like US companies have even found a way to outsource the fatties. Damnit!!!!
 
I'm in Australia right now, been a here a few weeks, and I just don't see anything close to these numbers. I think there's more very attractive girls here than in Southern California (home). But maybe my perspective is skewed because I'm staying at a uni.

I thought Nauru and the rest of the Pacific islanders were top with 90+ % population being overweight.

yeah their waist size balooned after they were introduced to the western diet.

Actually they had an experiment where they took some aborigin people and put them back to the wild. Eating only food they caught and wild plants. As a result their health increased tremendously, cholesterol and weight dropped.

You guys should read "in defense of food" a good book that gives a simple message:

eat food, don't eat too much, mostly vegetables.
