    I think we are getting like it too, in the UK we have 1 in 4 people binge drinking and we have obesity problems, they are trying to sort it but many are adapting to a junk: drugs, drink and bad food lifestyle.

    I guess americans have just been eating bad shit for longer, but the UK and much of europe could get like it too.

    hey, i lived in deutschland for 18 years, and they're getting just as chucky as we, only it's on good, authentic, tasty beer rather than that piss in a can known as "Budweiser". German food is also some of the heaviest food out there, which is why it's so damn good! God I miss that place...

    You know, almost all Europeans who had been to the USA and to which I have talked to have independently described American beer as piss water.

    Anyway, yes, there is the problem, that people consume more junk food than they used to,
    I'm not one of them though, don't eat any junk food or drink soft drinks.
    That's a personal choice and imo more Europeans choose to eat natural food.

    I've been to Germany about 3 times, I find German women are neatly comparmentalisable into either hideous, average, or jaw-droppingly stunning, seems to be very much 'all-or-nothing' with them. To put it into statistical tems, if you could apply a numerical value to beauty, 1/3rd of German women would have 10% (repulsive), 1/3rd 50% (average), and the final 1/3rd 90% (supermodel).

    Whereas the distribution curve for beauty amongst women of other nations seems more evenly spread out.

    I noticed that in the USA the jeans women are wearing are statistically higher around the hip than in eaurope. Where you see in Europe nothing but cracks and a wide display of underwear, in the US there is nothing to see but decency.

    Not really a feminist observation, but an observation nonetheless.

    The frequency of gorgeous women in Germany is really high, especially compared ot that of ALASKA. Sheesh, my head's spinning when I'm in Europe. There are so few fatties in Europe compared to the number you see in the States.

    i dont understand this. i think that people chose to eat what is readily available to them. no one says "hey, i think im gona be fat now". they say hey, ive two bucks.. i can get two doubl cheeses from McD's with that. im not saying its ok to be unhealthy or to eat junk all day. id love to eat healthy natural foods, i just cant afford it!

    ummmmm where are you getting this information? whale tails are not an ncommon thing. low rise jeans are definately not an uncommon thing. its hard to find jeans that are not ass-baring. if you are having trouble seeing this fashon fad, go to any club or high-school sponsored anything.

    Avoid where I work. I have trouble holding down my lunch, sometimes I skip lunch just in case. Fat women + tight clothes = hysterical blindness.

    Although generally europeans are at a more healthy weight than our transatlantic cousins, we cannot deny that obesity is on the rise here and is something we should keep check of. People are becoming more and more lazy over here, it's easy for them to add a few pounds.

    Well, in europe I don't have to go to specific place to see something special. It's all over the place. That was my original point.

    I have seen one so far after being a month in sunny florida. ONE>..

    the more evenly dispersed the population is, the less fat people are. around where i live there are about 1/30 people are overweight.

    whereas i go into the city and i see fat people left and right, they are bordering on outnumbering normal people, and these arent NZ fatties, these are full blown american lard barrels

    Hmm...

    maybe a city is like a garden patch with supercompost on it for fat people.

    It's filled with fast food joints. Temptation all around

    Everything is close together. No need for walking or travelling long distances.

    Cities thrive on fast living. There is constant time pressure. No time to do healthy things such as cooking, or walking to the mailbox.

    etc..

    let's make cities illegal.

    BS! Fruit is cheap and compact. An large apple, for example, has 100calories and is quite filling:

    Anyone else notice how it's mostly the women turning into heifers??

    i dunno about where everyone here lives, but i live ine ast london, and most of the guys here are in really good shape, all workout, most been to jail have prison sculpted bodies, most of the women here are in shape,

    there are fat people everywhere, but its gotten out of hand in USA you guys have soem serious eating disshorders, are you sure the land can withstant the maximum wieght capacity of its citizens? the land will start sinking soon.


    EVERYONE NEEDS TO WORKOUT we are supposed to be wild animals constanty ont he move and geting excersize, i really cnt stand out of shape people, (not those who cant help it) i think everyone should strive for excellence when comes down to working out and excersize,


    fat camp sould be mandatory everywhere, if your too fat or too skinny you should be forced by law to workout,


    peace and twinkies for all.

    and just because fast food joints are everywhere in cities, gives no excuse atall for anybody, everyone knows whats good and whats not, and i eat bad things but i workout every single day for over 4 hours and thats minimum, just because the stranger hands you candy dosent mean you have to scoff it down now does it, fatness is like weakness it shouldent be excused.


    and yes, fruit and veg is very cheap, and what are you talking about fast food needs? are you telling me that you get you Mc donalds faster than you can go into a grocery store and get some fruit and eat it? or nobody has time to make a simple sandwich anymore? and whats the excuse about not drinking healthy? soda cans are faster right water is too slow with the scew top bottle, you need quick can relief, again there is no excuse for bieng unhealthy when it comes down to eating, i am a personal trainer i deal with this kinda thing all the time, ive heard some funny excuses from clients before about them not having the "time" or the "money" why dont any of you guys give it a shot and try to give me an excuse about your daily life and why you cant eat healthy, i bet i can come up with an easy efficient cost effective solution,

    instead of reaching for the candy bar, why nopt reach for the fruit? instead of reaching for the soda why not the pure fruit juice,

    peace
    peace,

    I work out to be skinny, Chi.
    Stealth and speed instead of mass. In a computer role playing game I'd most likely be a thief.

    Now that is just silly. Labour camps? Nazis and Russians already tried that, nothing nice.

    Incorrect, as you've pointed out yourself. People eat what is marketed to them, and tehn choose what is available and can afford. It's a simple fact that eating healthy food in the US is more expensive than eating crap. And take a look at advertising market saturation for crap versus health.
    This is not freedom, rather, it is limited, mediated 'choice'.

    avatar, it is not healthy to be skinny, what do you class as skinny? i am speaking of skin and bones with no muscles not even toned up ones, skinny like an anorexic supermodel, bieng underwieght is just as dangerous as bieng overwight,

    i actually train to be toned and fast, i might not know much about most of the things on this forum but health/fitness/combat training is my expertise, and yes speed is above strenth, but speed and strenth equal power, if you can control your Qi you dont need external strenth or speed to win,


    peace

    3x more speed gives 9x more power, 3x more mass gives 3x more power,
    that's basic physics.

    Conscious building up on mass just isn't my thing, I don't like it and I don't do it.
    And I don't care about the possible consequences.
    So instead I work on building up speed. I'm quite speedy
