Study: Nearly a Third of U.S. Adults Rated Obese

You would think there would be more BBW content available because of this:

Americans are even fatter than they think they are, with nearly a third of all adults ? almost 59 million people ? rated obese in a disturbing new government survey based on actual body measurements.

One in five Americans, or 19.8 percent, had considered themselves obese in a 2000 survey based on people's own assessments of their girth.

The new 1999-2000 survey puts the real number at 31 percent ? a doubling over the past two decades. The new number is considered more reliable since people consistently underestimate their weight.
