I was just wondering and it seems like it might bring a lot of ridicule from people.

Not much, if you live in India and don't have a TV.

Other countries may ahve the same problem. We have to start exercising and stop eating fast food. That's the bottom line.

Its a problem here in the UK with kids getting fatter due to lack of exercise at school (PE) which is now limited and schools have changed the meals from chips/fries and any other fatty goods to more healthy foods and at the moment the government is mainly targeting kids to tackle the obesity problem.

obesity is heavy in america. i was in one of the store here, in atl, i was talking to someone and told them to look at how many "over weight people has passed her door within the past 5 mins. there was over 15.
instead of looking at what they from other countries think... what do we think of our people? they need help, "if they want it..."

People from other countries think it's bad, just like Americans do. Most countries are struggling with obesity problems of their own as the rate of obesity increases the wealthier a country becomes it seems, but none to my knowledge have reached the levels of the U.S. and as such, the U.S. has a reputation pretty around around the globe as being a nation of fat people.
