First of all, I don't want to sound sexist or hateful, as that is not the purpose of this question. I also admit that there is a large share of overweight American men. However, women are usually more concerned about their appearance than men, and that's one of the reasons I am focusing this question on women.
In the United States, there seems to be a much higher threshold for defining one who is overweight or obese. I'd venture to say that most American women who describe themselves as "average" would be easily said to be "overweight" or "obese" in European or Asian standards.
Although many people are predisposed to weight problems, the truth of the matter is that a healthy weight can be maintained by anyone with the proper combination of food intake and activity, with a few medical exceptions of course.
Why are so many women fussing over their makeup, hair and clothes, yet they ignore their weight?
Who came up with that term "Big and Beautiful", and why???
