Fatties

[Vonhelmet]

Italians - short
Japanese - short
Chinese - short
Indians - very short.

I'm sensing a pattern here...

You're right; if only we could use a measurement of how fat people are that somehow incorporated their height.

Oh you mean that very accurate BMI "measurement"?

 

[weescott]

There was a study a few years ago that said Scots were fatter than Americans. Yaay, Scotland are good at something!

 

[Vonhelmet]

Oh right, so I suppose all the Americans are bodybuilders?

It's good enough for the purposes in question.

What stood out to me was south africa on the list

If you break it down, isn't it Scotland that is ruining our ranking?

What about them?
Diet coke is the biggest seller, next to no kcals.......

Interesting how quickly it drops off between Italy and South Korea.

Due to the diet really, less red meat, lots of fish, rice

If Scotland are going to be good at something, it might as well be poor health. To top it off it makes England look bad too. Double win!

Irn Bru is the biggest soft drink seller in Scotland. It was/maybe still is, the only country in the world to beat Coca Cola.

In Australia and New Zealand, I'd say it more beefcake than fat..

American has criminally obese people that we rarely see in the UK

Riiiight... and when did I mention Americans exactly? I recall stating something about short people in a few countries, nothing about body builders either... As usual you seemed to have skipped ahead a few pages!

Other than the people you see on tv, have you seen Aussie general population? (asking as I'm quite shocked by them being on there and only seen what's been on tv!)

I don't get how the Italians stay so thin. A main part of their diet is pasta and pizza.

On my trips to Italy, it is a rare sight seeing an Italian chubber.

pizza - its just bread and vegetables .......just cut down with the cheese on top

The UK is disgusting, I see fatties everywhere these days. Do they not care that they look like a spillage at a lard factory? Seriously...

The women are the worst for it. Oh yes, I won't cover myself up, I'll go and wear a skimpy, tight top and let my mess hang out.

what he said

Allegedly they're "real women" in reality they're just women who have let themselves go and are too lazy to get down to the gym.

I'm not a fan of excess body fat at all.

Soda is a serious problem in America, damn its cheap.

 

[Nix]

I expected Finland to come last.

Why is this not so?

OT, but nice to see you posting again DM.

I post every now and then, but my free time is mainly spent in another place on a mission to demonstrate the abject incompetence of Councils with respect to Civil Enforcement.

Look me up if you get a parking ticket.

At a popular petrol station around this area, drinks are 69cents ANY size, so you can effectively get a liter of coke for 69cents!! Mmmmm sugar.
I'll say the difference between US fatties & UK fatties is extremeness!! There are some real land whales over here! Fun to look at

Are you a pro bodybuilder?

Amateur dual slalom mtb'er about to go semi-pro. Been training for the last two years for massive burst strength/speed, so yes, pretty close to a bodybuilder, but muscles in different places.
