They actually use real eggs over here, not that rubbery fake that you guys have to put up with :p

That's exactly what I mean, how do you even achieve such sizes? Even if you were on a diet of only McDonlands/KFC and chocolate, it seems impossible.

You need an extra-special ingredient: near-total lack of movement.

Also, I lived in Seattle. I've lived in London for the past 11 months.

Guys, the logic you're using is tantamount to trekking to the halfway point on the Appalachian trail and going "well I don't see many fat people here so Murica must be skinny!"
Portland and Seatlle are probably the two most tree hugging, progressive, whole foods bothering, health focussed cities in America.
Trying to specifically use those two places as some kind of anecdote for a healthy and normal weight america is just silly.
I could do the same; I live about 10 mins from West hollywood, arguably one of the fittest cities in the US (probably because of the incredibly dense gay population who all the hit the gym5/6 times a week).
The stats however sadly don't lie when you look at America as a whole. 65% ot better said TWO THIRDS is clinically overweight.
20 states have obesity rates over 30%. And that's not "a bit overweight" - it means Obese.
40% of adults in the USA ages 40-59 are obese.
The 10 states with the highest obesity are all in the south.
You can say all you want about certain states, cities or enclaves being healthy and fit and their shops selling really good produce etc, but that is not represeantive of the USA as a whole.
Thankfully, there were only 6 states where the obesity rate actually increased but that also doesn't mean it decreased in the others.
It boggles my mind that obesity qualifies you for a disability (i.e. parking permit, special conditions when flying, etc) and that stores actually have those ing carts to help obese people get to their food easier. I mean, , you'd have thought the one time you could get them to exercise might be with the promise of food.

I just got back from the beach today wow ppl are fat!

I dunno, some people genuinely can't walk because they're so fat. The fact that other kinds of disability might be self-inflicted doesn't prevent people from getting benefits for them: an addict whose drug injection ultimately led to gangrene and amputation, a guy who broke his back doing some stupid stunt to impress his friends, or whatever. Seems kind of shaky to base eligibility on moral judgments rather than on objective inability to function normally.

Are you proposing you should receive medical attention only if you deserve it? :conf:
