And it doesn't seem to slowing down anytime soon. What a shame that from high school on, American women can't wait to ratchet up the calories and the bigger thighs. I've traveled and international women around the globe typically do not have this problem. I especially see this problem in black women, where the obesity rate has to be upwards of 65%. Out...of...control hip sizes wedged into these ghastly stretch pants? Yikes! No wonder adult diabetes is at an all-time high. More than every other woman I see on the street has 35 lbs more than they need to be healthy, and to look good. And 35 lbs is being nice. I see plenty of fat guys, but fat women take the cake! Women of America: Do something about your eating and exercisizng habits before it's too late!
