Of course right? We're all just a bunch of fat capitalist pigs that eat McDonalds and go to monster truck rallies while eating barrel after barrel of fried chicken right?
How about we take a look at YOUR fucking country, (which I assume is England, knowing that literally every person there that owns a computer is most likely legally abided to post some sort of "stupid/fat/ignorant American subtext in a forum/messageboard/comment page/etc).
According to this fine link, which is a .gov.uk website, this is the outlook on obesity in your area:
"Obesity is one of the biggest health challenges we face. The Government is committed to taking action to reverse the rising tide of obesity. Almost 1 in 4 adults in England are currently obese, and if we carry on as we are by 2050, 9 in 10 adults will be overweight or obese. The cost of overweight and obese individuals to the NHS is estimated to be £4.2 billion and is forecasted to more than double by 2050. The cost to the wider economy is £16 billion, and this is predicted to rise to £50 billion per year by 2050 if left unchecked."
Gee, 1 in 4? You guys made it seem as though literally nobody over there had any sort of weight problems? I thought, from all of your statements (and I mean, from every single person living over there), that everyone else in the entire world was fit and thin. Oh well.
Fuck off.
