    How Fat are Americans ???

    Since I have been back in the States "March 25" I think it's safe to say that most Americans have about 20 pounds extra on them. Really the people in Europe are either Just smaller or they Eat Less ?????

    What do you think ??

          Americans, by and large, are fatter. The portion sizes for our meals is larger than what we get in Europe. The high fat, high sugar in our foods is greater.

          We're a fat people and now we are creating fat kids.

                  I use to say that - In fact the first time a European said that to me...I said the same thing followed by this - Ya that is true East of the Mississippi seems like everyone gains twenty pounds. Then when I came back after being there for about a year. I realized that almost Everyone in America has that extra 20 on them. Now when I go east of the Mississippi...they are HUGE...!! hehehe Ok but really no shit...FAT

                          I'm guessing it's probably further from the ocean's, too. People who live near beaches I'm sure want to stay somewhat in shape so that they can look halfway decent in the Summer.

                              True people in California tend to be smaller then people in say Michigan...Now I really do mean that. I grew up in Michigan and moved to AZ when I was 20.
                              Back then I noticed the 20 pound difference....East of the Mississippi.

                                      Yeah, but that gets thrown out when you think of the people in South Florida. I'm sure they're much smaller than people in Nebraska.

                                              fast food nation man, whenever i get back to the states i'm quite amazed, the people are definately fatter, but considering that a large coke/popcorn/whatever here is the size of the small one in the states, and is much more expensive here, for sure has something to do with it.

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".

                                                                                      Ohio ranked 13th in the U.S. in highest rate of adult obesity at 24.4 percent, according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies are Failing in America, 2005. It ranked 20th in the U.S. in highest rate of obese and overweight adults combined at 60.2 percent. Mississippi ranks as the heaviest state, Colorado as the least heavy, and rates in Oregon remained the same. Over 25 percent of adults in 10 states are obese, including in Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Texas, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, and South Carolina. Seven of those 10 states are in the Southeastern U.S.

When I was in the USA, everything was done by car. Drive in banks etc etc. Here the distamces are shorter, so easy to take the bike.

                                                                                                  Furthermore we eat more healthy( I think) lot of carbs btw

                                                                                                  And our portions are much much smaller. What is called small in the USA is LARGE here

We drive. When I was in Europe, I noticed that many walked where they had to go, which is exercise...it's not that they don't eat rich foods..their cheeses are to die for...and breads and pastries....but they walk it off. We don't. We drive everywhere.

We drive. When I was in Europe, I noticed that many walked where they had to go, which is exercise...it's not that they don't eat rich foods..their cheeses are to die for...and breads and pastries....but they walk it off. We don't. We drive everywhere.

Over 3 bucks a gallon is a lot for the USA. I know in Budapest it's about twice as much. Now just like our fat stomachs are cars need to get smaller too.

                                                                                                                                          and people buy and eat what TASTES GOOD.

                                                                                                                                          and they sit and watch tv while they eat their pringles.

                                                                                                                                                                              and people buy and eat what TASTES GOOD.

The only things that come in a package would be beans, legumes and brown rice. Everything else is fresh....so, yeah, we do shop more often...but it's been worth it.

I watched that show a few times, too. Of course it's biased and emotional etc like all good tv is, but it has a good point.

                                                                                                                                                                                  I've been trying to eat better here, too. And you know it's a lot of fun cooking food instead of reheating something frozen or ordering in. I think the hardest thing to be disciplined about is portion control, since most of us grew up with "finish everything on your plate or you don't get dessert" from our parents.
