    • @Lone_Wolf Well they are ignorant and lack a realistic view of themselves. There is an international study that shows how americans have the worst health while they rate their own health highest of all nations. Talk about living in an illusion...

  • YES!!!! Cause I need people in Washington D.C. to tell me what my daughter needs to eat at school................ Folks.. the problem isn't the food at school. The problem is that when keds get home.. they sit on there asses!! I kick my daughter outside EVERYDAY to play! No sitting on her ass watching tv, or playing video games all evening.

  • A country so fat, it has become a national security risk - something, ironically, they brag about.

    • @nowhereman1 Say that, but also know that the obesity in Canada is literally half (ratio-wise) that of the USA, and that it is a falling number.

    • @Jeremy_ maybe we have to go to the lcbo or beer store for our booze? but doesnt explain the children, i think it has to do with the economic situation and the fact a meal is like 4-5 bucks at mcdonalds compared to a home meal.

    • @nowhereman1 I agree; but the Canadian dollar is holding quite well - I mean it hasn't been experiencing significant down-fall like the USD (not to say that the USD is low per se, but it isn't doing as well as it used to.)

    • @Jeremy_ at are above the us dollar at 1.01 as of closing, and your right, the lowest was 93 cents this year and hasnt dropped,

      but i find it funny that they worry on weight when you should worry on the money to feed the children, plenty of kids are starving, eating ketchup packets, soon they will be thin again, but will they have money, thats another story.

  • The US military should start a pre-enlistment system that takes chubbos and removes their poundage with controlled diet and effective physical training so that they can "lose" their way into enlistment.

    • @Nepean109 US Marines already has a system. When you get to bootcamp, if your overweight or can't pass the physical, you go to another platoon that does nothing but exercise and eats good food. We had a kid in my platoon in Bootcamp who spent 2 months in PCP platoon. Lost over 50 lbs before he joined us.

  • Well, gays can now serve openly, so it won't be long before the obese will be allowed to serve the nation.
