Actually I think in the US 2/3 adults are overweight. I'm writing a post-apocalyptic novel right now, and it involves fat people taking over the planet, and the skinny protagonist has to evade local swarms of fat a*sses trying to make him conform to their fatness (or to eat him). It'll be out in June '09. As for your question, I think it's roughly the same in the UK.

The whole world is getting fatter Ive even seen fat asians but not many

Q - I don't get why UK girls are always saying Americans are fatter.
A - It's because you eat to many burgers.

Q - America has a large amount of people who are overweight, but I heard somewhere it's been proven that the UK is just as fat, if not more on in a small place than in a big country.
A - Where did you hear this, at weightwatchers?

Q - In Texas, USA 1 in 4 people are overweight. I'm not from there, but that's a lot of fat people. But not ALL Americans are fat. Most of its young people are much thinner than the UK young people.
A - How old are these "young" people?

Q - I think I notice that in the UK theres not constant competition to be thin? I don't know. Women just seem to be okay with having a thickness.
A - All women are thick, regardless of their nationality.

Q - But is is normal to assume UK girls are fatter than American girls?
A - I think you have weight issues, it's what's inside that counts.

Idk, maybe. All I know is that, fat people are becoming a common site in America, to be honest lol. With all these high fat diets and less and less excercise, obesity and weight gain is now a major problem in the USA--and of course around the world. I know that the U.S has taken the brunt of all of this...but I do not know about other countries because I haven't been there. Here's an interesting thing I found:

So, one day at a concert waiting in line to get autographs from the band, I met this Australian guy with his wife/girlfriend, idk...but they were standing in line right next to me. Well, my friends and I began talking with him and we got onto the topic of obesity etc..and what he said to me was shocking. He said "Are you kidding me? You think America is bad? Come to Australia..there are a lot more fat people than you can imagine" I was really taken aback by his statement. So there you have it..even Australia has their fair share of problems.

But overall, to be honest, I don't think you can single out one country that has more fat people (or a higher percentage of fat people). Maybe there are slight variations between the U.K and the U.S.A. But it is nonetheless, a worldwide problem that's growing by the day.

Um odd subject. Stop worrying about it and move on.

we are not fatter f**k off

what does it matter who is fatter, the important thing is to be happy with yourself. there are fat people in every country, just like there are skinny, thin, medium, thick, and obese.

well ive never been to the uk.

but where i live in the us, fat people are VERY rare. maybe youll find one in a crowd of 100. so saying 2 out of 3 americans are fat is simply ridiculous

not many u.k girls are fat, most of the ones i no are slim

UK girls aren't fat, and the ones that are, are old. But they don't care if they are fat because if they are married they don't care. But I like in the UK and I know maybe one or two fat people. But Americans are pretty fat.

There are fat people in every country, and also skinny people in every country.
No point getting defensive about it, lol.

Yay Canada! I think we're in the middle...

Yes, they're fatter. :)
Justttt kiddinnggg
Honestly, I believe that people are getting really sadistic with the overweight thing. I mean, if someone is racist or homophobic they're a leper but it's totally acceptable to rag on the overweight. I mean look at Neomycin's comment. And people justify it by saying that the overweight CHOOSE to be overweight, as if it's so easy to give up food. Metabolism is a genetic thing. I know people who eat nothing and stay a bit heavy and I know people who eat EVERYTHING and are stick thin. It's really unfair to treat anyone so cruelly just because they don't look great in skinny jeans. Sadistic even, imo. So who cares who's fatter. Yes, we should try to all become healthier nations but let's not point fingers and play the blame game.

ROFL
Okay so I'm and Asian American. I just moved back to the States during the summer after spending four years in China.
Let me just say, the adults are one of three things:
1. Fat/chubby all around
2. Skinny
3. Has noticeable flab in some areas, but not everywhere (arms, legs, face, etc.)
I have also noticed that so many younger teens are super skinny. The older teens are fairly slender, and then the chubs start coming in around 23 and up.
Just my observations. Now, I don't know which country is fatter, but I've been to a lot of countries, and (sorry to all the patriots) the fat people of the world tend to be in the Caucasian countries. -holds hands up in defense- Wait!
I know there are fat people everywhere, even in Asia (trust me, I've seen 'em). Sooooo my point? Honestly, I don't even know.
PS I got made fun of for being American in China. People wondered why I didn't eat a cheeseburger everyday.

I completely agree with you, blech.

so have you been to the U.S. or do you judge by what you see on tv?

Does it really matter? There are fat people everywhere... If you really want to know for sure look up the statistics for the percentages of overweight/obese for the UK and the USA and compare them!

The UK has there share of chubbers.

First of all, it is a fact that THE US HAS MORE FATTIES THAN THE UK, though the UK isn't far behind. I've lived for a long time in both countries and i'd say that the US does have more fat chicks than the UK. Though it also depends heavily on what part of each country you are living in. For example In Texas you'll come across 10x more fat chicks than somewhere such as, say, Boston. Whereas the UK, if you go up North you'll generally see more fat people than down South.

That would be because you are biased, based on your username.

There are skinny and fat people everywhere, and there are also fast-food joints in most countries. That is no excuse anymore.

there are a lot of attractive skinny uk persons trust me

The US is stereotypically fat, but I see just as many fatties in the UK. Maybe even more. I can't even tell.

UK is a tiny island. There are many fat girls who think they are thin or 'average' when they're actually much above, but its same with the US.

I think the ratio is probably the same. The UK might have less because it's tiny, while the US has billions more people to judge from.

I don't know if being thin gains me the right or not to answer, but this isn't offensive to me, so hence an honest answer.

yea, and there are a lot of attractive US skinny people too
