Despite The Accents, The English Are No Better Than Us
And just as fat, too

Finally, another Western country is getting a little wide in the middle. The English are almost as fat as we are, and it’s only growing:

Experts say that most of the population will be obese by 2050 unless urgent action is taken and the associated rise in ill health would cost the NHS £50 billion a year.
The Government wants Britain to be the first major nation to reverse the rising tide of obesity and said it would focus on reducing within 12 years the proportion of children who are overweight back to the 2000 level of 26 per cent.

At present, 30 per cent of children are obese or overweight.

When we see a fat couple on the subway, we wonder to ourselves if they could ever be happy considering how unattractive they both are. But then maybe they have a different, and equally valid, concept of beauty, they have found real happiness. And if everyone were fat, there would be no need to feel bad about being a little chubby or slightly morbidly obese. Except for heart disease. That shit is a killer.

    When we see a fat couple on the subway? Are you kidding? I'm sorry but that statement is a little offensive. And how they are unattractive? Are you trying to give people phobia's of being a few pounds overweight. The world is not made of stick thin people, you should re-examine what you say. Many people read your website and are influenced by the things that you write. What are people with facial abnormalities? Are they considered ugly too? I'm sorry but this crossed the line.

    CINDY- fat people are ugly and unattractive. fat men and women come together because they are too fat to have anyone else. unless the fat male has alot of money- in which case he can have a skinny girl. people can change the way they look and should not be offended when called fatty,(etc.). Your comment would make sense only if you yourself are fat, or if you are a die-hard liberal feminist bitch.
