[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They weren’t thin but normal size.  If you visit other countries, you’ll see that most people are “thin”. They only look “thin” to you because the majority of Americans are overweight/fat and that is the norm here.[/quote]

Visit Australia and tell me if you still think this is true.

Kind of tired of people who keep proclaiming that obesity is a uniquely American disorder.[/quote]

+ 1

absolutely true.

I was just in England and thought this as well.

Americans are so hard on themselves.  I saw tourists from all over the world there and no one looked as fit and athletic as Americans.  There were plenty of slim people, regular people, and yes even overweight people.

I even saw fat French tourists! [/quote]

Here is a list of the top 10 fattest countries in the world.  The USA is #10.  Yippee!  We made the top 10!

Dcum is always toting that Americans need to eat a middle eastern diet.

Yet the majority of countries on the top ten fat list are middle eastern countries.

Interesting.[/quote]

Who on earth is saying that? Middle East is suffering from obesity, at least wealthier countries and even Egypt's poor are getting overweight. Same thing, fast, cheap food, and poverty issues there too. Maybe from 200 years ago when it resembled Mediterranean diet? I should know, saw it with my own eyes.[/quote]

Food forum.  Kids forum.

They also come with the "Americans are so fat. You should eat a veggie focused diet like they do in the middle east."[/quote]

NP.

Traditional Mediterranean/Middle Eastern diets are very veggie focused, and healthy. But the Mid East has become wealthy. Meat is expensive. So is exported food and restaurants. So yeah, things are changing.

But traditional Mediterranean & Middle Eastern diets are healthy - but some morons think "Chicken Parmesan" is some kind of traditional Italian dish, and if they eat it they're following a Mediterranean diet. [/quote]
