Great Britain and Australia have basically the same percentage of obese people as America.
It's a worldwide trend that comes along with increasing affluence. The sad truth is that most people aren't terribly good at motivating themselves to moderate their eating and physical activity habits, so once people have the economic opportunity to get enormously fat, quite a few of them will. |

If you wanna get all technical australia is the most obese country. Do you hate them? I'm sitting here in a library at my school in florida (usa) there are about 30 people around me one "fat" person to be seen and he is obviously indian or some sand ******ish type |
I know, last research shows 26% of them are obese, but at least they keep their to themselves, they don't act as world police and they don't impose their trends to the rest of the world. |

Nah, it's been out of hand a long, long time.
Video games, fast food, zero dietary or sexual education, "PC culture" and IT jobs (etc.) have basically sank America into the fat zone for the last two decades.
If I don't, however, have some hope that there are people genuinely working to change that, then I don't really see much reason to bother with much of anything.
It's like when the rest of the world mocks our political system - sure, it's easy for all of you to sit and say "what a ing joke your elections are", but if a fair number of people didn't genuinely believe there was at least the possibility things could change, there would really not even be any reason to hold elections in the first place.
We may be stuck in bureaucratic, bipartisan B.S. - but we're hardly the pinnacle for corrupt governance. |

You really seem to despise more things about the US than you even know. Obesity is a worldwide trend, and as mentioned, it increases with affluence. The more money you make, you start indulging in a more wasteful and excess laden life. |

One of the main reasons that Australia doesn't act as a "world police" is that it has a low population, about 20,000,000 -- 16,000,000 fewer people than just California.
Bigger countries are more confident in their ability to win wars, so once they have the economic clout to get a highly technological, highly mobile military, they start getting more aggressive. |

Whoa, whoa, whoa - I can get the "world police" comment (and agree to an extent), but the rest of the world is BUYING our trends, we aren't forcing them on anyone.
If you really have a problem with the globalization of American trends and culture, you need to look at people within your own culture - and not to Americans - because if you all weren't buying it, we wouldn't be selling it. |
