It seems like most people here in the U.S. take pride in eating junk and sitting on their fat asses all day. Who the hell would want a donut burger? That sounds disgusting, but there's a bunch of people who probably think it's the best thing in the world and "this is what makes America great"

Not as stupid as frying oreos, in fact I'm surprised I haven't heard more about donut burgers. Pretty simple creation.

The US isn't alone on the obesity problem, it's just we are portrayed as the most. UK has a pretty bad obesity problem, Gulf countries have a terrible obesity epidemic, it's more of a world wide thing.

As for donut burgers that sounds like type 2 diabetes in 1 bite.

No, fried oreos aren't bad.

It's just I don't get the appeal of the sweetness of a doughnut applied to a burger. I'm not even really the biggest fan of ketchup. I like more interesting things, like certain salad dressings. Blue cheese salad dressing on a burger in lieu of ketchup is pretty awesome, IMO.

Our obesity problem is noticeably worse than other countries. What other country is 65% overweight, and nearly 35% obese?

The BMI scale classifies many people who are of healthy weight for their body type as overweight. And maybe only moderately overweight as obese. Not that the obesity problem isn't bad, but it is a bit overstated.

Well it is true as the gun laws have not been changed have they? People have been having huge debates about it for years & with every mass shooting happening every other day all that happens is talk & no action!

Don't you like Mama June? She is the poster girl of the US south...

American's fry everything. Nasty.

Agreed on the BMI scale. It's rather stupid and oversimplistic, and it annoys the hell out of me when people use it as absolute truth.

The US is the 11th fattest country in the world with 31% (According to the BMI scale) of it's population being obese.

According to this, the only ten countries in front of us are all really small, small population countries

Even if it's only 11th in the world (and behind tiny, poor countries) that's still a big problem.
