what is it with you and people who are overweight...?
 if this is all such a big deal to you, then why don't you start a protest or something? |

You're Canadian. Get over it. You have incredibly gorgeous internet models, damn good hockey players, a bigger football field, and a national rep as 'the nice guys.' But, then again, I'm overweight and I'm 5'8, 155 and mostly muscle.

Are they accounting for athletes who have muscle instead of fat in those stats? I dunno... they just sound odd. Sad, if they are true, although it is now being sad that it is healthier to be slightly overweight than underweight (oops, I'm 6 pounds underweight, I'm screwed XD).

Well, regardless if people are going to be overweight or not, they're still people. From the statistics (not talking about the topic starter), it seems that they care too much about overweight people.
 But hey, its kinda interesting to know this kinda stuff.. |

As usual...some people just seem to miss the point.
Obesity is on the increase due to poor quality cheap fast food. Less and less children are being properly fed a balanced diet including quality protein for muscle development and maintenance, vitamins and minerals for proper development and maintenance of all vital organs hormone balance and nutrient absorption, and the correct mix of carbohydrates and fats for energy and to help burn off excess calories. In addition, cheap food has a long term genetic influence upon the quality of the chromosomes passed onto children: cheap food = stupid children. Obesity is on the increase across the World!! But it is due to crap food, lack of exercise due to computer gaming, dvd/video entertainment & TV plus the general attitude of kids these days as a result of these factors that has created the apathy and in fact the 'denial' factor as demonstrated in some of these posts. Obesity not only is the pre-cursor to some terrible diseases: diabetes, chronic heart disease and cancer to name but a few, but of course create an enormous financial strain upon society. The more obesity, the less working hours put in due to illness and the greater the expense to the Nation in order to fund the Healthcare necessary to treat the problem. Lower productivity, higher taxes, more unhappy overweight people... Need I say any more?  Peace Out |

Right... this is coming from the guy who called overweight people "lardasses" in this thread. It's not an assumption really. It's a just suspicion. Eh... |
