    Question American vs. European body weight

    Post by Chris Sat Mar 10, 2012 9:19 am

    It's been said repeatedly that on average Americans are more overweight than people of many other nations; while the people of Europe are typically credited for their leaner figures.

    Do you think that their average body size [in pounds] is more desirable than the average American size?

    It all depends on how people wear their weight.

    Well...we measure in pounds and they measure in kilograms so there's your difference right there.

    I did see something when I visited Germany in the early 70's that I've never seen in the US. A fat mannequin in a store window.
