It is absolutely unpleasant to be out in public when the heat hits. YUCK!

While we have obese people in NL, it's no where near the amount of fat people or the general "fatness" of fat peoeple, as displayed by the UK and US.

The Dutch have a very high rate of sporting association subscribers, we have the habit of bringing our own lunch to work/school most of the times (sliced bread with cheese or something else on them) and we use our bicycles a lot to travel. Being fat is definatly frowned upon in our society and seen as very unhealthy.

Our sporting clubs/associations are not linked to schools over here so many people keep playing in teamsports way past highschool and most of their lives.

I live in an area with a ridiculous amount of heroin addicts.

So no, everyone is skinny.

You GENIUS! Do you want credit for curing the obesity epidemic here in America? Fat fucks are easy to catch and then one shot of heroin and BAM skinny!

It doesn't work that well. The UK is still obese as shit, not far behind the US.

Straya here. People are porky and they're getting porkier. Except the meth heads.

I'm starting to wish drug dealers were shot without question by the police. Abuse of power is wrong and all but meth/heroin is really fucking up society.

Sometimes it's their only available choice of employment.

The main issue is not the dealers, there will always be another to take the place. But the manufacturers and the addicts themselves.

Many want to quit, but they don't have the resources, money or willpower on their own to achieve that goal.

If recovery wasn't so stigmatized and expensive. The user rate would go down dramatically.

While there are obese people, there are few. I'd guess fewer than 1%, but maybe they just don't leave their homes.

Yes, when walking around, everyone is at least slightly chubby.
