Definitely the latter. You don't see that many really fat people, but a few that only need a slight lifestyle adjustment to get back to a good weight. Hell, I'm probably technically overweight, but only by less than 5kg. I'd be happy if I could get down to 80kg. Work ****s me round though.

Suger tax ftw. Why is coke cheaper then water? why are mars bars cheaper then bananas? tax the shit out of anything with a high sugar/fat content and we'll see changes.

bahaha and the thing where you have to ride an exercise bike to keep the tv on.

too bad it's made almost entirely of crap. Make the good food cheaper. and make sure people know how to prepare it.

^ yeah, it's an also an attitude/habit imo
like i know people who have coke with every meal etc etc..
it does seem to be a lot of the lower income bracket.

i think the fact our population is 'older' probably helps. older people tend to be flabbier

That's actually a pretty good point, I hadn't thought about that.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

So we're old, and we'll have fries with that.

God Bless the US of Australia.

I blame Falcon.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Lol. thats not fat, thats muscle.

Perhaps he should whip all those fatties into shape or something.

Many Australians love to laugh at fat Americans on "Jerry Springer" and the "Maury Povich show" but in reality a lot of Australians are fat or very fat. IB4R and I are skinny though.

I'm doing my bit to give this back the the ex-penal colony (USA).

I'm regularly shipping Tim Tams there!

Hey who they calling fat!..


Actually today if your 176cm tall and weigh 87kg you are considered fat as you are above the recommended weight for your height!.

But fear not USA!.. You fat people still out way our population. And NZ and UK and China lol.

Thats Nebraska my friend. Iowa's corn fields are all flooded, and the only reason kansas was even made a state was to keep oklahoma away from Nebraska.

Not to mention our football team is the Cornhuskers so I think we take the cake for the corn state.

This surprises me, because for some reason I always pictured Aussie's being very outdoorsy and climbing mountains and boxing kangaroos and wrestling gators and snakes and things of that nature.
