I was under the impression that the percentage of overweight women was far greater than what it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago, and 30 years ago. The population of overweight women is so high, that it cannot grow at the fast pace it once did. It is natural for things to hit an ultimate high and start to plane out. Hopefully we can get it back down to an appropriate number.
We are still growing as a nation, meaning our population is growing. Birth rates are falling in certain class's.
Being under the impression of something is not the same as being right. Although it's true, significantly fewer women AND MEN were overweight one, two and three decades ago. And a population of someone already being high doesn't mean it then has to flatten. Case in point: the population of fat men is already high, higher than that of women, yet it IS rising. Getting even bigger...no pun intended.
Birth rates are falling in certain areas, yes. For a TOTAL lower U.S. birth rate.
I would have no problem being a size six, going to yoga class every day, working out with a personal trainer. Staying at the gym 5 hours a day, and eating a strict South Beach Diet. Where is the man who is going to support me while I do that?
A few years ago, I went to a time management seminar, the man teaching us high power executives, how to get everything done. He had time to play golf, work out, work 60 hours a week, work on his MBA.
One problem with his schedule to me...A Working Mom...he never cleaned the house, did laundry, cooked, went to the store, or did homework with kids... I asked him about those tasks...ha ha... Of course, HIS WIFE did all that stuff!
So, men with big wives, how often do you do housework and watch the kids so your wives can go work out? Hmmm
I'd rather have a woman who can jog 3.1 miles or walk 5.6 miles.
Why?
I just did that yesterday. First in a race, and second because my ride was late.
Also, fat chick or not, overweight chicks can have things wrong with their heads or medical/crime problems too. For this, I'd rather take the smart sticks if the others are too much of a problem.

I can't jog 3 miles but I can easily walk 5.6. I have walked numerous 10K's over the years and even a half marathon, all while being overweight. There's nothing wrong with my head. Go figure.
When you make preposterous claims what do you expect? I don't think your post was misinterpreted. I think it was out of line.
I can't rep you yet, but I agree with you 100%

When the world ends and I'm still alive, I will travel to the nearest twinkie factory since I know twinkies never go out of date!
