Why all the hating ?
We can cook, and do anything just as well as anybody else !
I don't think she is attacking anybody personally !

i live in canada but visit the usa about 3 times year. For one thing i noticed food portions are alot smaller at restuarants in canada. And in canada there is a gym on every other corner. Plus if ur slightly over weight here u get very critisesed. No joking..... If your even 20 pounds over weight almost everyone will make a joke. We dont have plus size stores really. A size XL would fit someone whose like 5'5 130-140, so if u want cloths u got to be smaller.
BTW moms dont cook meals all the time. kids cook...... i leart how too cook by the time i was ten. im now 16

Partly because there are more people in the USA. Also in Canada we have smaller servings. One adult a mount here is like a kids amount in the USA.
Another reason, the unhealthier foods like hamburgers are like 99 cents, and the salads are like 5$. So you want the one that is less money.

In the states they super size everything. There's a fast food place every 5 step. Even the salads in the states have sugar!
I'm Canadian down in the states right now and there are a lot of obese people here- in florida! the bathing suit state!!!!! It's NOT pretty.
I'm not skinny but I'm not fat. I look good in my bathing suit.
Haven't you seen the movie Super Size Me?
Watch it and you'll never eat fast food again. It's turned me right off!
Also since dumbass ****** americans want to bash Canada. How about this: Canada's meat is HEALTHIER. We grow OUR OWN veggies so we're not putting gross **** in it that's bad for us.
Americans are fat because like everything else THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN TO DRAW THE LINE. PUT DOWN THE TWINKIE FATTY.
americans eat their problems away, and half of them are welfare bums meaning they sit on their *** all day eating chips and drinking pop getting fatter and fatter by the second. WHILE Canadians are out working and exercising not to mention eating properly.
Canadians have a way less divorce/single parent family rate meaning that atleast one of the parents can make a decent meal for the family and not have to resort to fast food.

I guess we have more and/or better food.
Seriously, what do they consider obese? Anything over a size 6? I don't believe that 3 out of 4 Americans are obese.

America is the way it is because of Americans...If Canadians moved to America...Then the ratio would be reversed. It's all about self control... We're so obsessed with everything that's not important, to watch what goes in our mouths.

Because America's economy is giving all the money to the the fattiest food companies for the one thing that matters most in America...MONEY! America versus Canada, You have got to be kidding!

Canada...is amazing..public transportation is more common than driving a car. OUr downtown is very clean and safe, it's like a big mall, but outside, stores, restaurants, clubs, everything is on the street. We walk a lot of places, take the subway, and buses. People aren't afraid to walk places like in the US. Plus our food is sooooooooooooo much better, and healthier, we have more ethnic food, as oppose to fast food.. Canada Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

Why am I not surprised? I don't know enough about Canada to make a guess but I think our problem is that we are obsessed with food. We either eat till we have bedonkedonk butts or starve ourselves because we don't want one. There's no happy medium.. It doesn't help that we would rather drive a few blocks than to walk either.
