Your "phiz" should be looking seriously red with embarrassment given the way you're going on - especially for a newbie.

BTW: that was a clue to the proper meaning of a word that you don't actually understand.

I have never said any such thing. And you do not know what I think.

I do know, however, that you're a new, but tedious little troll. And that you have limited literacy skills. And that you have a chip on your shoulder. And that you are incapable of understanding how to contribute to a grown-up discussion ('Your points didn't interest me' does not count as a proper debating technique).

Now potter off back to your toys and leave the adults to continue what was an intelligent and respectful discussion until you materialised.

OK - back on topic. WHY are so many British women so fat?

Tedious troll he may be but I have a strange feeling that he's been this way before, albeit in another guise

Because the majority have a poor diet and dont exrecise either enough or at all....

......here we go again...

And what has happened to create this set of circumstances, when we had no obesity epidemic previously?

I wouldn't know how to exrercise.

Personally I think that British women are so fat because they have to put up with British men, so they turn to cupboard love.
And British men are less fat because they have to put up with British women.
The difference arises because women are on the whole (no not hole ) nicer than men. So men have less to put up with (it could be their small dicks ) .
Seeemples!

Processed foods, easier to access ready meals/takeaways, loss of cooking/baking skills, poverty to a point, but most of all poor lifestyle choices. Lack of self respect and discipline, the good foods are there just as much as the bad ones. Lazyness of modern living give them the easy option. And a good balanced diet with equally good phiz is the best way to conteract it.

14 pages of stating the obvious and the witterings of apologists.

Unless you have a genuine medical condition, obese people are greedy and/or lazy. Stupidity is not a medical condition and not realising you get fat from eating too much and sitting on your ar$e in from of celebrity and reality trash tv is no excuse. Many other forms of behaviour are targeted for their impact on society, so why not the obese? (please note the distinction between overweight and obese)

I accept that there are mitigating factors with the demise of industry and a move to service jobs, physical excercise is less a part of daily routine. Marketing and covenience are also factors but just methods of exploiting the laziness of people.

It has been said numerous times already and its common sense for pity's sake, eat reasonably healthily and excercise in moderation.

Who knows maybe you wont be one of the increasing number of diabetes sufferers and maybe you wont die of a heart attack while your children are still young and maybe you wont be refused medical treatment in the future because anesthetising large animals too great a risk and maybe.....
