i had a job test yesterday for an office assistant job. And there was me and 13 other people. The 13 others were girls only( i don't know why), i was the only guy. Their ages ranged from something like 20s to 50s but most of them were in their 20's. And all of the women, i noticed, were fat. i was quite surprised. I'm 26 guy, and i'm not fat, thankfully i have been able to move because recently i lost my knee health and i have heart problems, so i cuoldn't exercise for a long time. and i was depressed, so i was beginning to turn fat, but i'm not going to give up that easy. But it seems , as i saw here, many girls don't care about their weight. would it be the same in say if we had 13 chinese girls coming for an office assistant job test? I dont know, but yesterday i felt i proved Many( not all) american's have bad habits and don't want to change.

actually you would probably be surprised by the ratio of overweight people that have office jobs. I work in a hospital as a computer technician and I can tell you that the majority of the nurses and doctors and whoever else moves around a lot in the hospital, are not fat. Where I see the most overweight people is in the offices. In fact, I would almost make a guess that more then half of the people that work in the offices and have desk jobs are overweight. Think about it though, if you sit at a desk...not moving much, for most of the day because that is your job, you have a elevated chance of becoming overweight due to lack of movement and exercise in your daily work schedule. Yes it's true that americans are known for becoming the overweight stereotype, but that doesn't mean we all are, or that just americans are becoming overweight, it's happening worldwide due to people's lifestyle. America happens to be the biggest to be known because we have such a vast majority of the population and are on of the top modernized civilizations. Technically you did prove that a large amount of americans are becoming fatter. To answer your question simply, but I always suggest to look beyond and around what is in front of you.

It really all depends on what you consider "fat." If you think all women should be rail thin with no curves, pointy, angular bodies, and you happen to see a woman who was curvaceous, of course you'll think she's fat. What exactly did you mean by "fat"? Were these women so obese that their stomachs were hanging down to their knees? If so, then yes--they're fat. Were they 5 - 10 pounds over their "ideal" weight? No, they're not fat. Studies have shown that it's actually healthier to be a few pounds overweight than underweight.

I, too, used to look down my nose at fat people. I was all muscle. Now I've joined the fat group. Some people are emotional eaters, and are 'too nice' to drink, smoke, or take drugs to relieve stress. To say they don't care about their weight is erroneous. If 13 Chinese girls ate what Americans ate, they'd be fat too.

Yeah dude, but that was for an office assistant job. Try a job where you gotta do alot of physical activity. I bet you won't see a lot of fat b**ches there.

Enough Americans are fat to make this the FATTEST country in the world. Of course those people don't want to change. Nobody takes responsibility for anything in this country.

So a lot of people are fat. What's your point? Many of us have other things to worry about besides being fat.

About half of americans are overweight, statistically. Too much TV, fast food, sitting around, etc. Which reminds me, time to get off my butt and get outside for a bit, haha.

some of us work on the value of ourselves as a person rather than the value of ourselves as a physical body
