I honestly hope this doesn't offend anybody but I think that Americans are a whole lot fatter than Canadians. I think this because there is so much fast food in America and not nearly as much as fast food as in Canada. i also saw a survey thing and it said 40% of Americans are overweight and kids aged 5-19 are 87% overweight while canadians are only 16% overweight and kids aged 5-19 are only 8% overweight. I know there is more people in America than Canada but still thats like Half of america overweight. I am not trying to insult anybody or say they are fat because they are Americans I am trying to say that they promote more fast food than ever before. Do you know Americans have over 667 different fast food chains?!??? THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE! Canada has 121! I love America and when I used to go down there I would order a meal and it would come like it was for 5 people!!! Here in Canada that never happens! Please be careful of what you eat I used to be 156 pounds and I started eating fruit+salad everyday and excercized 3 times a week at the gym for 1 hour and I lost 13 pounds! I know look and feel great! I hope you all luck in your diets! They will work!!!!!
Reply from Aaron, Age 14 - 07/20/04 - IP#: 64.63.216.xxx Ummm.....our multidude of fast food restaurant chains have everything to do with america's obesity problems. We have tons of fast food chains to choose from, and about every variety of foods....tasty,unhealthy and fattening foods, sold to us at cheap prices. Of course for just a few cents more, most fast food chains offer to supersize the meals....

Reply from Kaitlyn, Age 14 - 07/19/04 - IP#: 216.74.216.xxx Eating fast food is one reason we are overweight, but I go to fast food restaurants a lot less than most americans! My problem is at home and where I babysit at, there is so much bad food!
Reply from Clifford, Age 15 - 07/19/04 - IP#: 67.40.165.xxx That is part of the reason us americans r overweight and also its cuz we eat too much and dont pay attention to whut we r eating and we just kinda think we can eat whut we want and not get fat but dont make that generalization because not everyone has fast food all the time its just we eat non stop almost and we just dont cotrol ourselves thats all.
