No, that just makes me sad.

Yes, we are doomed.

Doomed to never experience an obesity crisis 😱

Nope. US is 18th and UK is 43rd at least according to this

Interesting. But I wanted some context, because being 43rd doesn't tell me how serious it is. So I found one article on the same site(telegraph) that says obesity is responsible for about 1 in 10 deaths in Britain and costs the NHS 5.1 billion.

No doubt the US is even worse as you showed, but putting it that way IMO makes it hit home more.

^ Poland is too poor to get fat, if that helps.

Poland is poor? Hmm. Have you considered maybe letting in thousands of unvetted people into your country? Problem solved!

Yes, very. I mean, I am typing this from a shack in the middle of a God foresaken forest, on an IBM from the 1990s.

One day I hope to be able to visit McDonalds on a daily basis (if they hack down the forest and build one) and get myself a nice, round belly like those rich Westerners have.

I have a copy of Windows 2000 if you need it.

You ever think about going to a different country?

Yeah, I would like one day to emigrate to Saudi Arabia.

As a Christian I think I will be welcomed there. Feel the full force of multiculturalism, you know. 😛

Seriously though, no. I've lived in Germany and the US for some time. Travelled around in much of Europe too. Poland is the best 👆

Yeah you'll be welcomed there, I'm sure of it! 😄

You're lucky, I want to visit the UK, France, Germany and Poland too someday!

They like Christians in KSA, in fact only Christains, Muslims and Jews (people of the books) can come to KSA unless they are diplomats.

Great!

When it comes to the UK, I can recommed visiing London (obviously) but West England and Wales are also worth your time.

In Germany, Bavaria region and Munich are a must. Simply beautiful.

In Poland, just let me know, I'll show you around 😉

Berlin is ****ing great also, especially East Berlin up around the TV tower, Alexanderplatz, which has a very good restaurant called the sphere. Checkpoint Charlie and the Jewish memorial are musts.

Do Feminists think it's okay to be fat? Like from a health stand-point?

You're thinking of obese. You can be a fatty but really healthy.

Huh? No. There's no such thing as "healthy being fat."

I mean technically speaking, depending on how largely built you are, you can be "fat"(wider than most people), but still be fit as hell.

No you can't. lol

You're joking, right?

I looked up the definition of fat, it seems "width" isn't one of the definitions.
🙁
