WHAT YOU SAY
[This page is closed to new input. --Ed.]
T H Lien- Unfortunately smoking doesn't keep you thin, that's just a myth. I smoked for years, but the reason I stayed thin was because I dieted and exercised. It is true that when you quit smoking you gain about 5 lbs. As for pressure to be thin, I think that's universal! Look at the anorexia/bulimia rates soaring among white women, the pressure is terrible especially in the teenage years. Differences in biology, yes, I will agree with you on that one. America is in a strange place right now-on the coasts, most people are thin, exercise, watch what they eat. In the midwest, south, most people are big or downright obese. So there's this big dichotomy- a few very thin people and a lot of big people.

Actually, Asians and even Asian-Americans may stay thinner well into the future, just because of different social standards (more pressure to be thin from among your friends), differences in biology, and the higher smoking rate.

I know what you mean. I'll be 34 in June but I have gotten into arguments with security officers at HCC who think I'm a student when I'm parking in the Faculty lot.

Americans are overweight because we are the richest country in the world, and have been for most of the past century. Any nation that is the richest in the world will overindulge, simply because they can afford to. Eating out is a basic part of American life. Yes American food tends to be more fattening than Asian food, but as Asians intermarry and eat at Mickey-D's more often, you'll see asians getting fatter and fatter, then they won't have the superior attitude of "Oh Americans are fat and disgusting, we're so thin".

been around and seen enough:
"It could be that many AF have a better diet then the WF. Heck, we have the largest majority of fat people in the world. But I read somewhere that Europe and some Asian countries are catching up with us."
BINGO! A large percentage of AF are slimmer than WF b/c of our diets. I have noticed that AA are getting larger as they consume more westernized food....but I think AA (as a whole) will remain slimmer than other americans b/c we are accustom to the asian diet....we consume more fruits and vegetables, and less sweets and dairy products. So yes, our sizes have alot to do with our diet.
