I don't know the stats, but there has to be a huge difference between the obesity of Americans and Canadians. Seriously, the LARGE majority of people I know are not overweight. Whenever I've been to places in the states with lots of people around, you see someone of every shape and size...most of the shapes are bad and most of the sizes are big. I become much thinner when I cross the border to the south.

for some reason people feel that portion sizes need to be huge in america...i feel sick when i go out to eat

i've been sitting on my ass lately because of work and school, but i've noticed that i will eat food when i'm not hungry. it's just taboo to go a whole day and not eat 2 or 3 meals. if i came home and told my folks i wasn't hungry because i sat around all day they'd look at me funny. it's just some stupid standard that you eat set meals....breakfast is important because it kick starts your metabolism and gives you energy, but during the school year, if i'm not hungry for lunch or dinner i'm just going to eat a piece of fruit or something
