I think people are often unaware or even in denial about their weight problems. Obese people think they are merely overweight and those in the overweight range think they aren't.

Thanked for both. So many people with their head in the sand.
In regards to the second point, I think people here keep looking at the average North American weight and say, Hey I'm totally (just "slightly" over) average. But the that comparison is already against an average that is already way too fat. It's a self fulfilling prophecy of increasing weight and obesity.
Travelling around the world, you can easily see how Canadians and North Americans skew so much fatter.
