you people are all disgusting. "fat"? are you crazy? poeple shouldnt care how they look. if its a health problem, like weighing 100 pounds, then gain some weight. the problem is, today in our socitey the media programs this perfect image into our minds for what the "perfect" weight is. teenagers are changing. yea, your going to gain weight, or your going to lose it. but why should you care? personally, i am 110. im a little skinny girl and im trying to gain weight. its working. but you must branch away from what the media tells you, and gain weight in proportion to yourself.

weight ranges for the united states (i am assuming most of you are american) are overrated, simply because america is obease. think about what most americans eat! fast food... its all processed. when was the last time you ate a good home cooked meal, from scratch. all other countries weigh less than the US. its a fact. weight averages are significantly lower than outs, but then again, our society doesnt require you to be in shape for this life style (sitting infront of a computer).no wonder loosing or gaining weight is a problem here. but thats beyond the point. the problem here is in the mind. poeple care too much about appearances here, and over look the simpler things in life. i would have gone much more in detial, but i fear i would insult about 50% of gaia, or, you guys wouldnt really take me voice into account.

I feel grossly discriminated by tables like that. I have to make extra effort to get my lazy a** to a calculator and find out my 'ideal' weight, because they are too lazy to extend their table with 2 inches. I'm 6'6", and no, I'm not fat. At all. </silly rant>

Huzzah for stereotyping. I eat fast food too, so sue me.

I figure you mean people, not the countries. Well lessee then...

I'm sure I can find more of this, but you get the point. Sure, America is known for it's 'fat' stereotype, but it's not like they're the only country that has to deal with this. Europe is following and no doubt the wealthy countries in Asia are too.
