[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The secret is that you are only looking at rich people in the most expensive cities, and you are thinking that those people represent a whole country. They don't!

If you went to the most expensive parts of NYC you'd also find a lot of very thin people, guys. Are you traveling to the European equivalent of Union, New Jersey, to see what people there are built like? I am going to guess not.[/quote]

+1. I lived and worked in Germany for a few years, but in a small, rural community. We had lots of larger people. My village had its own bakery and butcher. I’d see the old woman walking in the morning to get bread and many were fat. My late 20s hair stylist was chubby. People eat at these festivals, and not a vegetable could be found. It was always some form of pork wrapped in bread.

I didn’t see many fat kids mostly because they don’t have many kids. My son was in a German hospital for two weeks. The place was big with 20-30 pediatric overnight rooms. We never saw more than 2 other kids there the entire time.

Men were definitely thinner, but they wear tighter pants and don’t generally lift weights.

I’m a bigger woman 5’5” 165lbs. HHI $350K. It is more acceptable and normal to be my size. People in the past seemed to have to apologize for their weight. I wear what I want and do what I want. My size doesn’t hold me back like it may have in the past. [/quote]
