That sounds very enjoyable indeed. And why are American women fat?

Actually more American men are overweight than women.

Americans are fat in general. The average BMI for men is 28.7 and 28.6 for women, The healthy range is 18.5 to 24.9 for a young to middle aged adults, anything above is considered overweight.

What is cheerful about us being fat?

Icarus

Cheerful because I was pleased with my house guest, his gentlemanly manners, and his talent with a musical instrument,. The remark about Americans being fat was an observation not a criticism. What the hell, maybe Lithuanians are generally undernourished.

His observation was correct. Americans are fat. It is something you notice within a few seconds of getting off the plane. The norm is overweight (that is beginning to be the same over here), you regularly see obese people and at least one whale of a person a day, the likes I have only seen in media and in the US. I am still haunted by visions of a lady at a buffet in Florida resting a plate on her belly with another full plate in her hand and the serving spoon in the other. If getting as much food as possible in one trip from a buffet cart was the peak survival ability she would have evolved to be the apex of the species.

The military academy horse barn that I worked at before I went to college offered me a part time position.

Would you like an eleven day ban so you do things in the real world?

Hey Icarus, they moved it to the Media section, the thread you were looking for, anyway...beautiful horses, hair is Jet Black like Elvis.

Question, is it natural for horses to high step that way? Seems like it would be sorta of uncomfortable for them, have always wondered that.
