I got really pissed. but since then i have had a chance to check out what they said. And i do have to agree with them. 90% of the American women are obese. from children to adults. also the men too. My question is why the hell did they let this happen to them. Im 6'2 weigh 216 lbs. so i carry my weight pretty good. Do you think we all should go on a diet lol. im not singling no certain person out. if i have offended anyone, im sorry but its the truth if you just look around you.

The percentage of adults who are obese or overweight exceeds 60 percent in 28 states.
West Virginia has the highest rate of type 2 diabetes among adults (10.4 percent) while Alaska has the lowest rate (4.5 percent).
Mississippi has the highest rate of adult hypertension (32.7 percent) and Utah the lowest (19.8 percent).
Seven states now have body mass index screening requirements in schools.
All states except South Dakota have school physical education requirements, while 44 states plus Washington, D.C., have school health education requirements. There is little enforcement capability in either of these cases, however.
Seventeen states plus Washington, D.C., have passed taxes on junk food or sodas.

What has happened in this country is the Internet and 500 TV channels Video games and PC'S in every home. Kids don't go out and play anymore. Also we all seem to live on fast food these days so we can fit eating into our very busy lives. It is a shame things are this way.

90% of Americans are not overweight its more like 50%. We do have a lot of fat people in the country I am a girl, Im 5'5'' and I weigh 130 but Im mostly muscle. We dont take time to cook healthy meals for ourselves or our children we give them what if fast and easy for most this means fast food which is very fattening. We could do better we just dont care!

Where are you getting your statistics? Yes, many Americans are overweight, but not 90 percent. And it is absolutely not true that 90 percent of American women are obese. The actual number is closer to 60 percent --still not a good thing, I agree -- for those overweight at all, and overweight and obese are not synonymous.

Go see SupersizeMe.
People are fat because we eat junk.
I haven't eaten fast food in 3 years, and I have lived by the South Beach Diet for 2 years with great satisfaction. And I will NEVER eat a french fry ever again.

That is sooo sweet of you to worry about others, but maybe you should just worry about yourself. When people are ready to loose weight they will. I would like to know where you and the French got the statistic of 90% of American women are over weight? And by whose standards are you judging?
