Sportacus, we need you!


Maoxian recently came back to the U.S.A. for a visit, and was overwhelmed with how many obese people there are in America.

I'm not familiar with Maoxian, but I know what he means. What's really weird is that we are the only population in the history of the world where our poor population is the fattest!

Ha, I admit to knowing who Sportacus is! Steve Edwards has numerous posts about obesity in America at http://steve-edwards.blogspot.com/, including a post that links to this extremely depressing interactive fat map.

The scary thing is Europe is following. When I was a kid, obesity wasn't in the dictionary. Now you ocasionaly see it on the street.
