If you want to feel really bad here in Japan is the complete opposite. Families encourage their kids to stay some time at home and even they have to come home if the kids stay alone.
99% of the population is thin with the remaining 1% being ripped. . .it is amazing to see 90year olds waking and shopping like regular people, no cains or walkers!
So by 2020 the world will be oned by healthy asians?

I’m hoping an asian vixen will own ME anytime!
I wish they could do bodyfat tests in HS and make the fat kids do sprints&shit. IT really sickens me to see them complain about genetics and then sit around in a high-quality weight room, doing nothing!
The main problem is that so many people feel a need to pander to fat people, and get pissy if you yell at or mock them. I knew this kid who was chubby in middle school, got made fun of alot, and is pretty skinny now. Mockery is awesome! Do your part for the future and make fun of a fat kid today.
I was called to a lift assist for a fat fucker being discharged from the hospital and going to a nursing home as his mommy could no longer take care of him due to his “disability.”
A nursing home people. He is 24 years old and weighs 783 pounds. WTF!
I saw something excellent on the way to work today. There was this group of about 30 kids all walking along to school together.
They call it a “walking bus”. Parents don’t want there kids walking to school on their own, so a couple of schools got parent volunteers to walk a certain path to school. Like a regular bus, they have drop off and pick up points at certain times. It means the kids get a bit of exercise and safety in numbers.
I think it’s a great idea.

Australia is closing in on #1 status for obesity in children, by 2010 we will have the fattest children in the world.
That is an awesome stat don’t ya think!
I live in a small town in rural NSW and the amount of overweight people here is amazing, not just a few kilo’s over, but 20-30kgs at least. I can’t see it changing all that soon though, it is going to get alot worse before it gets better I think.
dude … we ALREADY have the fattest kids in the world. We are number 2 for adults, I believe.
It is terrible.
They eat too much junk and spend too much time on the computer.
Physical exercise at school, once compulsory, is now optional or non-existant.
arrrrrrghhhh what can we do

Most of those things make too much sense! And of course, that would change the ultimate fate of this country and the entire world.
“For lack of discipline a nation dies.”
Yeah, I think some of these things are counter-productive. Not everybody responds well to mockery – in that they don’t get motivated, they just develop a hatred and end up blowing away half of their year somewhere down the road.
Maybe get the fat kid involved in some fun exercise and sneak in some education on fitness and nutrition. Mockery and fear of failure will keep the fat kid from trying anything new.
You want to actually solve the problem rather than make some people feel shitty while you feel better, right?
Australia is looking to upgrade toilet seat ‘sitting’ capacities from 45kg/100lbs to 150kg/330lbs to accomodate our ever increasing ass sizes. The comment following the article for tall people is interesting, considering I am 196cm tall and that nobody is lobying for higher doorways, more leg room in aircrafts etc. it pisses me off. I can’t help being tall but 99% of the obese population can help being fat bastards.
Some of the comments after the article are interesting and funny.
