You got that right! And it ain't just the women. It was on the news not long ago that Disney has to rebuild the "It's a Small World" boats that run on tracks because people have gotten so fat the boats can no longer bear the weight; they're also making them wider.
Increase of diabetes is/has become a serious concern. Perhaps most tragic is the number of fat children we have.
My wife and I spent 3 months kicking around Europe after grad school years ago. I'll never forget - when we returned to LAX we were walking through the terminal and at one point we looked at each other and she asked, "Is it my imagination?". "I don't think so. How could everyone have gotten so fat in just 3 months?"
Funny, we didn't realize how thin Europeans are until we came back and saw how fat Americans are. That was last century and this nation has been growing progressively fatter ever since.
