Wow, America is a bunch of Fat people..
I'm doing a research paper on obesity and I found some eye-opening facts. This one in particular.
127,000,000 adults in America are overweight, 60,000,000 adults in America are obese, and 9,000,000 are severely obese? Those numbers mean approximately 65% of our nation’s population is classified as being overweight or obese, and that number has progressively increased since the 1960’s – an increase that shows no signs of slowing down.
Why do you guys think America is so fat?

I'm considered obese. They use height vs. weight... not bodyfat%.

Because Americans have no food sense, and don't give a sh*t about their health when compared w/other countries.

Think: dual-income households, length of average American workday, divorce rates, differences between portion size and nutrition facts between a contemporary individual in his or her adulthood and a similar adult from 1952 or so, school food in today's versus yesterday's cafeterias, physical activity differences.

Americans as a nationality work harder than any other nationality of people on earth, maybe even the history of the nations.

If charter schools ever take off and I have children, I'm sending my kid to one that will only allow him to eat food I approve of.
Diet down by 6, exercise technique by 8, AAS by 10, Olympia by 16. LOL

According to a recent report from the International Labour Organisation, Australians are among the hardest workers in the world.
One in five Australian employees are working at least 50 hours a week.
Garie Dooley, Regional Director, Kelly Services comments on this report in an interview with Ross Warneke from radio station 3AW, Melbourne.
ROSS WARNEKE: Interesting story this morning, the International Labour Organisation has done its first report on excessive working hours in the industrialised world, and they've found that Australians are among the hardest workers in the world, with one in five employees clocking up at least 50 hours a week. Now that's a huge figure.
Apparently only the Japanese and perhaps one or two other countries are ahead of us in that regard. In Japan 28 per cent of the workforce work 49 hours or more each week, but Australia is up there with the best. We seem to work harder than just about anyone else on earth. A lot of Australians I suspect would say what a load of rubbish, but apparently it's true.
Joining me on the line from Kelly Services, which is a global staff and recruiting company, the regional director Garie Dooley. Garie, good morning.
GARIE DOOLEY: Good morning Ross.
WARNEKE: Do these figures surprise you?
DOOLEY: No Ross, they don't, and these numbers aren't anything new. We started to pick this trend up probably about seven or eight years ago, and really those numbers - I mean interesting you mention that we were the best, some would suggest we're up with the worst, but--
WARNEKE: What's wrong with working that long?

"Among"
So where does it say Americans don't work more hours?
I wonder who the "one or two other countries" are. I bet I know who #1 is.

I think america is one of the hardest working nations in the world and all those hard working adults don't have the time/patience/motivation to put more hard work in choosing the right foods to eat and taking the time to excercise. There is also some statistic about how americans hardly use any vacation time and work extensive work weeks. Just my opinion. I used to be very fat, and now am very lean and part of that 2% of americans

We're talking about industrialized nations here. If you are tlking about the stoneage peoples of New Whogivesaratsass, I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you. It would be hard to lay around most of the day, and that is exactly what they do.
You guys brought up Germany, Japan, Australia, and the US.
Here's a secret, there are no sweat shops in any of these countries. The workforce of any industrialized nation will be similar in composition. These countries also have a firm grip in the tech sector.
The definition of hard in this instance should include, lack of vacation time, lack of daily free time, not having enough time to take care of your own children, stress, % of individuals working to total individuals.Last edited by inheritmylife; 04-11-2005 at 08:48 PM.
