I think you are right most Americans are at least 20 pounds over weight. I'm in Ohio and when I go into a restaurant of say 200 people. I'll be one of the smallest people in there with maybe three other people who are not over weight either LOL. I shit you not.
I can't get over how many people are HUGE in Ohio. I lived on the west coast for 10 years so I was really shocked when I came to Ohio. I bet the heart doctors here make a "killing".
