30.2%  ouch!

M.Lanza:
From shopping at walmart, I would think that it's more like 75 to 80%.

I think that the 30% figure represents those who are morbidly obese.

Or maybe fat people just perfer to shop at walmart.

pinballwizard79:
"Walmart" attracts its own kind of people, "Whole Foods" has a different group etc, etc & etc.

Income levels play a huge part in obesity rates here in the US because cheaper food is higher in fat, sugar & salt usually.

But in other countries low income people just die of starvation, now that's a real pitty.

I'd rather be fat than a skinny refugee any day.

We can spin this around all day from obesity, leadership to education. Every ethnicity/country has it faults & google can find them quickly thus resulting in a never ending thread of bashing if its so desired. My replies were due to snobbish remarks towards Americans & I see its still taking place.

Blah blah blah, time to move on.

I just read this thread from start to finish and the only bashing taking place is being done by you ... unless you count RayB's obesity remark, which was factual and somewhat funny.

No he is not bashing, just working the issue uniquely.

I think we are ALL inherit a way to view others.

I was reading about how the doctors thought Dr. Atkins was off his head.  But after some serious research they found out that Atkins was on to something.  Americans eat primarily whats offered to them, and most diets made people obese.  I'm sure if they were told to eat more fat and less sugar, the comment Fat Americans would fade away.  I used to work at Wal-mart.  Everyone shops there because of the savings, not the generalisations seen on this thread.  Man they do take a lot of money!

There again you might need a nice big CP to rest your beer belly on! Who knows?   ;D
