I grew up on the other side of the pond. In my 25 years there, I can count on one hand the number of 300lb people I've ever seen there. It amazed me when I moved over here. You could spend an hour in any food court and find just as many obese people. And I'm talking about the people who have ankles bigger than my thighs. That kind of obese.
In my office alone, there are at least three huge women who huff and puff when they walk and have bellies close to their knees. Then just in the immediate vicinity of my desk there are three young women in their 20's who are around the 200lb mark. I'm not picking on women at all, just that there aren't too many truly big guys at my office.
