Right. Because the daily activities of living are the same as intentionally and pointlessly putting poison in your body.

Great argument.

The way you Norwegians/Europeans are, you (aor at least the women) never really get fat. Like Asian people.

At the same time you'll never be the thick-assed and legged black and hispanic women that I and many others here like.
Have you seen what they Asian diet looks like? ( I know next to nothing about Norwegian cuisine, but thanks to this thread, I will be looking into it.) Hint, it looks absolutely NOTHING like what you can in US chinese restaurants.

Like that will tell you everything about the US. In that case, I should know everything about France using that logic.

I know a fair amount of how the french eat. Do you read? You don't have to walk on every street in a country to know what the obesity rate is or what the diet looks like in different regions. Just stupid excuses for remaining ignorant. If that is what floats your boat, roll with it.

True, and we tax the hell out of tobacco and alcohol. We should be taxing the hell out of fat as well.

Instead the least healthy food is the cheapest.

Some scientist are now arguing that sugar should be controlled like any other drug.

Fast foods, snack foods, and products high in fat, salt, or sugar, should all be taxed heavily. The cost to the public is HUGE!!!!!!!... and they are the reason why we have a HUGE public!!!

Wrong.
The most convenient food is the cheapest.
Healthy food isn't expensive. You just have to spend time preparing it.

Basically if you don't like a girl because you feel she is too big guess what? In the PC age we live in you can't tell them that it automatically gets you into trouble (how much depends on how offended the person was at your comment). Bottom line see the fat girl just move on. SAY NOTHING!!!! You can't be the bad guy if you never said anything to her. Be nice and keep it moving.

So do I but I've lived there for a while. So I would know. Reading doesn't tell you everything. I read a lot about the French prior to moving yet when I got over there. I didn't know anything. You don't have to walk on every street but relying on flawed numbers to base your belief around is stupid. It's not an excuse. It's common sense. That's like wanting to go out and buy a car. You read about it sure. You look at it on paper. Yet you still should want to go out and drive the damn thing.

Sitting on your computer and running your mouth about a country that you've never been to is very stupid. Unless you read the all inclusive handbook which tells you every single thing about a nation. More than likely an excerpt of statistics are BS. What you think doesn't float my boat but if that consoles you then so be it.
