    I do generally agree that americans consume a large quantity of unhealthy food. They got so many fast food chains there of course a lot of people will be obese. I think they are lazy to cook more healthy food.

    They restrict them because britain is starting to have an increase in obese kids. So people like Jamie Oliver came along and changed all of that.

    But if you think about it Healthy food is MORE expensive then unhealthy food.

    also since.. americans (sorry if i offended any American PA ppl-sweat) but like a lot of them eat fastfood. so they're bigger? thats just wat i heard. Is it i think.. 1 in 3 americans are overweight? maybe im wrong.. can't realy remember. >.<

    Hong kong people are shorter because there are more vitamins in other countries such as AUstralia and America .. so yea.. your more vulnerable to be considered fat.

    NOOOO, it's all about genetics

    nutrition will show in the quality of your bones, but not how much they will grow
    that is predetermined before birth

    The number of fat cells do vary depending on the individual's dietary habit/nutrition intake when said individual was young... Then they stop reproducing in numbers just varies in size, those evil fat cells...

    But bones?? I believe it's the amount/type of exercise you do which can affect the length of them...

    This is true, read an article somewhere that companies like H&M, Zara, Esprit and Mango etc. make the sizes bigger as they know the current customers are getting bigger and bigger and they don't want to disappoint their customers hence making a "Small" which is reality is a Medium, and a "Medium" is actually a Large. This explains why I have 3 Esprit Tee's who are too big for me as they're not a real S but a Medium. Was too late when I discovered this, can't change it back without receipt. :(

    So, if you look like a whale when you're 60 and still fit in a Small, you know why...-rolleyes

    well I eat a lot more than the usual person. I mean, a snack for me is frying 7 eggs together in a pan, or 12 sausages, or 30 dumplings. that's a snack for me. I'm north american (we'd probably fit in your "american" overweight category), but I haven't gained any weight since 2004. I think it really has to do with how well your body metabolizes food over time.


    and just to make you girls feel better about yourselves, I'm a 27 inch waist YEAHHHHHH WHALENESS HERE I COME

    LOL, but how old are you??? I used to be able to eat a lot more... Those were the days...

    Plus, living in MTL isn't the most conductive thing for a fat person... So much walking around...

    I'm hardly 20 yet, haha.

    but I don't do much walking around. the nearest subway stop is 2 minutes walking distance, and only 2 minutes by subway to the station closest to a mall. and the mall is only one bus stop away from the station, so I just take the bus.

    but even then, I get too lazy, so I just sit at home.
