ha ha! i haven't read the article but the fact it is taken from the
daily mail says it all! pretty much everything printed in the daily
mail is well known to be absolute crap, find something from the
guardian or the Times and i may well read but i would not put my eyes
through the pain of reading anything from the daily mail, that paper
is not even good enough of lining my cats litter tray with, I would
rather read the Sun in prefernce to the daily Mail

My impression on fat is it depends on what part of the US you visit.
Some places everyone seems to be blubberbutts while other places people
are pretty normal. For a long time I thought cartoons of fat people
were just cartoons. Then I saw people that actually shaped like
cartoon fat people.

so which is the fattest part of the states? here it is staffordshire and
the north in general which harbours all the fatties, probably the north
west most of all,

In the U.S. the trend is more socio-economic than regional... the
preponderance of fatsos are the poor and working class. If you want to
scope the tubbies, go to WalMart, McDonalds, or any place where food is
cheap and calorific.

I would also say that rural/suburban people tend to be fatter than urban
residents.
