        \_ Woot!
        \_ Because someone else doing worse than you makes your own faults ok.
           How about making the world a better place instead of cheering when

preview.tinyurl.com/64llss -> www.gadling.com/2008/06/20/no-way-australia-beats-us-as-worlds-fattest-nation/The Herald reports that, according to a new report, 26 per cent of adult Australians - almost 4 million people - are now obese, 1 million more than the last calculation in 1999. The findings mean Australia is the world's most overweight nation, ahead of even Americans, who have a 25 per cent obesity rate. The report says that 9 million adults have a body mass index over 25, making them overweight or obese, an increase from 7 million. Experts have called for obese people to be given gym discounts and for surgical waiting lists to be prioritized on the basis of weight loss. I went to Australia in 2005 and I didn't see fat people anywhere.
