Thread Name: Why are Americans so fat?
Subject: RE: Why are Americans so fat?
Americans ARE "fat" in more than one way. But we also give more in charity, relief and aide to struggling nations than any other nation on earth. Of, course, this may be because (don't quote me on this, please) we are the richest and most populated of industrialized countries.

However, I would advise Americans to look within before looking for troubles abroad. America has her own problems. Feel guilty about those first, if you really MUST feel guilty. Go buy a street person a burger--real fattening (joking, but you get the idea). The problems at home need attention before we should worry about everyone else's problems. If America produces enough to support most of the world, why can't she support herself?
