Default Why europeans think americans are fat.

A theory that came to me in my drunken stupor.

It`s the imperial system. I am sure of it.

"This woman weighed in at 450 pounds"

And every european person goes "Whoooa, that`s a fat bitch! ohhh... i forgot, whats that divided by 2,x"

So, we will think you are all fat until you learn how to use proper measurements.

Thougts?

It's all about the balance.

I can agree with this logic and will also provide another example;

Yeah.. I know.

Those damn americans, the entire population does nothing but eat and sue. All of them, man, women, and children. They're all fat.

They're totally "ubsessed" with food. (Ah, and the french and italians don't like food) They don't even get up and like.. walk. God, I hate america. When I make posts like this, my friends at school think I'm totally awesome.

You dumbasses realize obesity isnt just an American thing, its a western thing. Many countries in Europe are also suffering an "epidemic" of obesity. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/826546.stm http://www.easoobesity.org/news.asp?ref=19 http://www.easoobesity.org/news.asp?ref=14

Shotties and borat have completely fucked up this thread.

And yes the imperial system does suck major ass. To be fair though, we measure angles in degrees when it should be measured in pi's, which i think you guys do.

It's because when they visit America, they end up going to places like Disneyland where they see nothing but fat-ass women from the mid-west carting around their screaming children.

Seriously, spend an hour there and you will see more brightly-colored-spandex-covered cellulite than you ever thought you could stand.

Oh, and then there's also the fact that there are a shitload of fat Americans.

It's probably because the europeans have their largest meal of the day at midday so they can metabolise it even just by sitting on their asses!
Crazy europeans with their sensible eating habits.

450 pounds divided by two is 225kg. That's still really fucking fat.

Edit: I just realised that that sentence doesn't really make sense. But it still gets my point across, no matter how poorly structured!

You are fucking retarded.

First, 450 is an example, i could have used 100 or 150 to the same effect.

Furthermore, what self respecting european country uses lb?
