Ok, so I'll say it. Americans are just plain obese. Not 'fat', not 'pudgy'.......obese. I mean these days I'm almost surprised when I go somewhere and see my fellow man or woman in decent shape. I don't care where I go around these parts, rare occurrence. Like seeing a beautiful spotted owl in the desert.

Speaking of women and being sexist, Anyone under the age of 50, in shape automatically gets a '5' right off the bat in my passing man- observation. If they are dressed halfway decent easily another point and a half.

Seems that women especially are embracing obesity by wearing clothes that only enhance their ......'physic'. Like attire that's easily 2- 3 sizes too small so as to display more rolls than a bakery showcase.

Men too. Anyone bought a tee shirt lately? They're all extra long now. So on me it looks like my waist is too high or legs too short or both. Why? Gotta have enough material to cover the gut apparently.
