Would it be any better if we we're #6 or #12? We are a society on decline and this is just another example of it. I know the topic is fatness, but I can't resist. We add more socialism, take away more capitalism. We (The USA) wonder why we continue to move down the economic food chain.
Why take care of yourself when the government is taking control of more and more of our personal responsibilities? No one is responsible for anything that happens in their life. It's always someone else's fault when something happens. Like,,,, I crashed my car into the back of the guy who stopped to fast,,,, I am fat,,,, I have no money,,, I have no job,,,
You could go on and on. We on a downhill slide as a society and just elect people who tell us we are the greatest society on earth. We are being passed by by many countries.
We burn our food (ethanol), export our fuel, Nat gas, continue buying oil from people who hate us.... We are #1 in something.... STUPIDITY
