Why are British girls so fat?
The Telegraph ^ | 05/29 | Louisa Peacock

British women are officially the fattest in Europe. Well, hoorah for us. Of all the labels we could have picked up – the drunkest, the laziest, the most promiscuous – this one can't be that bad, can it?

And what about those people who actually choose to be fat? A growing group of overweight activists claim it's OK and healthy to be overweight. Fat activism, as they call it – yes that's a thing now – is about recognising that all bodies are fine. Nowadays, the 'fat movement' is all about challenging prejudices.

Except, we should be worried. Accepting obesity is just as bad, in my book, as accepting 'skinny'. Both are more often than not unhealthy. Both conditions also often lead to the people concerned being unhappy

Why are British girls so fat?

I think their economy has been so bad for so long that most families do not eat right in England...it is expensive to buy meat in England....so much is imported. Growing vegetables..where? Not a lot of available land there anymore. The same is becoming so here for the average family... even with all the ranches, chicken farms, and pig farms.

If I wasn’t vain, I’d get fat just to upset people who hate fat people.

I love this crazy series. Can't stop watching re-runs of Keeping Up Appearances. Truly a funny series.

Not Millicent Bucket. Millicent Boo-KAY.

Americans don't fully grasp just how pretentious that came across to your average English audience. If anything, they're Francophobe, refusing to pronounce French words as the French do. Valet and claret are pronounced VAL-et and CLAR-et just to annoy the Frogs, lol.

Nice pick - except the one going through the sex change hasn’t gotten far enough yet to add to the picture.

From two visits to Britain, there are in reality quite a few very good-looking English girls.

In all seriousness, there has been, for some time, plenty of supposedly hetro men out there that consider something like (my favorite example) Marylin Monroe to be, and I quote, “A fat pig”.

I think it's the gay influence - they've pushed the "slender boys with big tatas pasted on" meme so long that the Know-Nothings have bought it.
