I'd laugh, but you know what's coming - they'll just blame American junk food, and eating habits, and role models, etc. Even if they're the ones stuffing their faces 24-7, they'll blame us.

Next time one of you asks, "Hey, Ace, where's Allah? What's he up to?," now you know-- he's mah bitch.

Better watch out, Ace. He'll turn you into a newt for that remark.

In a group of nations from Greece to Germany, the proportion of overweight or obese men is higher than in the U.S.

I think it just appears that way. I mean, those Speedos don't conceal much.

Kimberly - You've hit a point that is too obvious, but must be said to anticipate the next wave of anti-Americanism. You are right, I'm just counting the hours...

Yeah Kim nailed it.
The poor little dears just can't defend themselves from...themselves.

It's comforting to know that in the true spirit of European self-preservation, as their continent is being overrun by islamofascists they are conducting studies on obesity and sending out Luxembourg's Minister of Health to give the results. Keep fighting the good fight fellas.

This is just more proof that the 35 hour work week they've got is unhealthy. They need to get off their lazy asses, and work 80 hours like the rest of us.

Well, Buckley F. Williams, since the US is still target no. 1 for those same islamofascists why don't the US just drop all obesity studies altogether? Let all the scientists drop their work and unite, yes UNITE! in studies focussed entirely for the good in the fight against terrorism!!! Rise, scientists, rise! All together now.

Geez, get real already.

I travel to Europe a lot on business. Guess what fat slob is seen everwhere as the face of the average joe american? Micheal Moore.

This ties into another interesting point. We hear endlessly about how "unhappy" the world is with the US. The cause of this is typically blamed on our arrogance and so forth (ie: Bush-Hitler-Chimp), but if you spend any time in the media over there, you get only one side, and that is very anti-Bush, anti-American.

When I was in Paris last September speaking to some French about our election, they did not know that Kerry was promising that if he was elected president that he would be able to get more "allies" (eg: FR and DE) to join the cause. The French I was talking with were shocked, but of course, never heard a word of this in any of the Euromedia.

Its amazing. The media here point us on our poor standing in world opinion, and then the media out there report only the most slanted, negative and distorted stories about us.

I was once threatened by an Islamofascist, but I accidentally fell on him and crushed him to death.

So you know, it really is a public health issue now.
