Don't forget that the government is always redefining "obese"...in fact, the last time, I think in 2002, after the new definition was published...

Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp?), John Elway, Troy Aikman, George W Bush, and Bill Clinton....

...all fit the definition of "obese"...in fact, close to 4 million Americans went to bed one night, and woke up the next...obese, simply by changing the definition....

That's progress!

50% of Americans are obese as are 50% of Europeans.

eating a few boxes of donuts before going to bed didn’t exactly help, either...

Buddy of mine is an avid bicyclist. Rides literally 100s of miles a week. The only fat on him is from whatever he ate for breakfast.

He also has a stocky, short build. His doc recently gave him a checkup, looked at the height/weight chart, and told him that he needed to lose 20 lbs.

My Friend's response? "From Where?" His next step was to get a more sensible doctor.
