Ht. 5'5, Wt. Unknown as of now - I get really annoyed when adults keep bringing up that America is the fattest nation because all these kids are eating junk food. I feel especially offended when discussions like this erupt at school and people look over at me!
i NEVER eat junk food. I love sports and I'd excersize and play them often if I didn't have tons of homework everyday, but no. They blame me being overweight on my excessive junk food eating. I eat healthier than all my skinny friends....
I just don't see how this is fair. =(

Actually, America isn't really the fattest country, Ireland is. The average calorie consumtion per day for an average person is about 4,000 calories, and since they are so far up and so cold, how do they exersize?

Perhaps you aren't aware of how unhealthy you actually eat. What is your daily food look like? I'm sorry if this sounds mean, but it's hard to imagine someone who is very active and eating very healthy to be overweight. Also, do you have a rough estimate of you weight? I have no idea if this applys to you or not.
