Well..I don't know what you guys are talking about, my school is full of think/healthy girls, who happen to be very attractive. This whole "OMG FOREIGN WOMEN" sh!t is retarded. Some of you don't see the hotties we have here, they do exist.

Don't think it's so much that there are no fit american girls - it's just that you won't see any european chicks looking like the planet on the right side of that picture.

Why in the world would someone mess up a perfectly good picture of a hot chick to poke fun at fat Americans? If Europe really was filled with hot chicks like that, what the hell are Europeans sitting around making this crap for?

Oh yeah, it doesn't help if the chicks are hotter, ugly/boring/nerdy guys still can't get them

And now...

Some facts...

http://www.pbs.org/now/science/fit.html

Much of Europe is having their own obesity epidimic. And many European countries are finding a higher percentage of obese children than the US.

The stats:

Percentage of 10-year-olds overweight or obese, 2002,

Italy: 36%
Greece: 31%
Spain: 30%
United States: 25%
Britain: 22%
France: 17%
Germany: 15%
Netherlands: 14%

Percentage U.S. 12-19-year-olds overweight, c. 1999-2000: 15.5%

I must say, 15.5% is HARDLY representitive of an entire population.

But then, why let facts get in the way of smug jokes from the land of surrender monkeys?

The focus on obesity is on children because fat kids become even fatter adults. And the fact is, once fat, the chances of ever losing weight are slim for most people... especially if they grew up fat.

How can they be old when that's the first time I've used that term in over a year?

And by those numbers, the US's obesity rate is not THAT much higher than most of Europe's.

At any rate, those numbers are quite different from WHO's and the CDC's numbers. I'll believe them first.

my best guess is that my stats are general numbers and not only kids.

that could explain the big difference between your Italy stats and mine (obese as a kid but not as an adult)

And obesity epidemics start with kids. As I pointed out, most people who become fat as children stay fat, or become even fatter as adults. The obesity epidemic in the US started with kids. In fact, in the US seniors are now, on average, leaner than the younger population... the first time in history that has happened.
