3 out of 4 Americans are overweight?

Question

So I am reading these statistics...
USA 70% of men are overweight...
England 66%
Mexico 59%
Australia and Canada 67%

But
France .. 40%
Japan ... 27%

I think it has to do with the high consumption of Human Intervention packaged food... compared to fresh food consumed in Japan and France. I mean you don't see the French exercising a lot do you?

What are your thoughts, tubby?

Darth is right with the whole high fructose corn syrup thing. It isn't converted to insulin so we are allowed to consume large amounts of empty calories. Fast food is another issue with it's addictive properties. Eat to live and not live to eat.

People in the developed part of the world are much fatter and suffer from over weight while the situation is just opposite in underdeveloped countries such as Africa,Nepal etc where the people are mostly underweight\malnurished and die from stravation.
People in america are much more economically developed and are consuming more starch relatted foods such as bread,cornflakes etc.They are also frequently eating fatty fast food such as potatoe chips, french fries etc.they are also too lazy to excercise.
Hence they are overweight.

I agree, I think the French especially eat a lot, but mostly fresh and they look pretty good. Of course those of Asian decent also eat a lot of very fresh healthy food. I myself have started to leave all the boxes alone and start cooking from fresh ingredients, I have to say I love it.

Interesting how in America the entire sin of gluttony thing is overlooked while gay people's lives are made miserable by the same people overlooking, justifying and excusing the gluttony. It's called Pick and Choose Christianity.

I believe it is called being greedy. Wanting to have it all or whatever. A culture of stuffing the stomach above its ability.
