As an overweight American I do want to say I am not lazy. I work out three times a week. I am working at eating smaller portions and far more nutritiously. I grew up poor and in case you haven't noticed, the fresh fruits and vegetables are more expensive than the starchy things. I am having to relearn bad eating habits.

On this note, I resent being put into a stereotype. Some folks are overweight because of gland problems. Others gain weight because of the medicines. We need to walk a mile in the other person's shoes before we get too judgmental.
