When Australian women statistically eclipsed American ones as the fattest I couldn't help but rub it in.

As for thick, overweight, obese ... they all = fat. We're a lazy bunch and watching tv with one hand in the Cheetos bag is requires less effort than preparing a salad. The most exercise that I get is when I jump up and down and try to get into the pants that fit last week. I could review the obesity problem in greater detail but my ice cream is melting.

On a normal distribution, the figures quoted then appear to make sense. I believe that “Overweight” is defined as a Body Mass Index exceeding 25 kg/m² and “Obese” as >30 kg/m².
