This movie is coming here in Europe very soon, so I would like anyone who has seen this movie to give me his/her evaluation on it. Should I go see it?
 
It looks funny judging by the trailers I've seen.

Americans should do something about their lifestyles.
 
Yeah, a friend of mine has seen it recently in Paris and he told me it was pretty funny. However, I'm not really interested in that kind of movies personaly.

I like better Fahrenheit:satan:

Fat people should do something about their lifestyles... not all (or even the majority of) Americans are fat. :rolleyes:

And hey *grabs Staples' rear,* you Europeans have fat people too! Ha! :p

Like what ? I'm not obese, nor do I drive a gas guzzling SUV. :mad:

Let's see. I work full time, I have zero debt, I pay my taxes and all my bills on time. What else should I do with my "lifestyle" ?

Actually 2/3 are overweight and about 30% are obese. So it is a majority.
 
Thought it was 1/3 overweight and 15-20% obese. If what you say is true it'd be very weird... I only have 2 overweight friends and don't even know any obese people. Where are they all at?

Ditto. I have only one friend I would consider overweight, none that could be classified as obese.

Maybe I'm just staying away from these people out of fear that they'll eat me ? :eek:

According to the WHO, it's indeed 66% overweight and 31% obese. I had found the figures over the net before. However, I'm quite bored tonight to look for that link.
 
Hmmm, maybe it's because they're all stuck in those "feeding troughs" (eating stalls) at Micky D's and don't make public apperances very often?

You got a point there. I tend to avoid "all you can eat" places. :p
 
I can't believe that somebody bothered to make a doccumentary on the fact that fast food is bad for you. What's even more amazing is that people are paying money to see this.

I should do a special on how the sky is blue on non-cloudy days. Now THAT will shock the masses.

It wouldn't sell unless you could twist it somehow to blame America or ridicule Americans. ;)

Sorry about that.

Stop paying your taxes. ;)

I would, but the IRS scares the crap out me. :whipped:
I've known a few people who've been audited, and I know I don't want to go through that hellish experience.
 
I read recently that over 50% of the English are overweight, too. I suppose they need to change their lifestyles, too!

Actually, according to this BBC table, we are not so much different than much of the developed world!:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/yourweight/whatis_stats.shtml

Russia - 28% of women are obese! Finland - 19% of men and women are obese (compared to 19.5% of American males).

I'm afraid that there is a gross generalization about only Americans owning the market on fat people. The western lifestyle tends to lend itself to low activity and high-caloric intake.

So n'eh!! :p
 
Perhaps they generally get less exercise... (?)
