It is true America has a problem with obesity. But we have big cars.

No. People can get really, really big and still be able to drive a car. Ever look in the front of an SUV? You could probably weigh over 600 pounds and still fit.
However, through the 1990s, the average weight of Americans increased by 10 lbs, causing airlines to spend an additional $275 million on 350 million gallons of fuel just to carry the additional weight of Americans.

Well, nothing wrong with being big, but i dont think that's true.
Honestly. 70%? Thats quite alot of Americans. And when you go to the mall or the store, most people are just average.

No that is not true. But what is true is the number of obese people in America is growing and some people have tried to get it listed as a disability so they can get government money.

I'm too big to drive many cars and I am only 6'2" 200 pounds.
Cars are just designed for tiny people .

Ummm....
no.
I have seen some VERY fat people get out of *incomprehensibly* small cars here that manage to drive anyways, so that MUST be incorrect.

No, its not true.
But 70% of them are definitely too dumb/irresponsible/reckless to drive, that's for sure.
