Super Fatties Outnumber the Fatties in the US of A

Filed under: Icky Icky Poo

fat.jpg

America needs to go on a mayjah diet!!!

According to reports, new numbers revealed by the National Center for Health Statistics show that more than 34 percent of Americans are obese, compared to 32.7 percent who are overweight.

And, just under 6 percent are "extremely" obese.

So, basically, over half of the US population has big time weight issues!!!

WTF?????

So you're able to put things into perspective, a person 5 feet 5 inches tall becomes overweight at 150 pounds and obese at 180 pounds.

This new revelation makes us want to work out even harder this year!!!!

  5. 5

    This is a surpride to you Perez? The rest of the world has been laughing at your obese asses for years now.



  6. 6

    Perez, fatso, when was the last time you stood up, looked down and saw your toes?



  7. 7

    that woman looks like a bucket of lard



  8. 8

    and she has two asses



  9. 9

    To think some people here are bashing Madonna for her regime… shame on you. Bet you guys can't keep up with her discipline & supreme will power. Now it's all fun with most of you guys bein' unhealthy… you will have to pay for the consequences later on. Madonna will just keep on rockin more money thinkin her body is her great investment. A true inspiration she is for me for stayin healthy and gymbuffed.



  10. 10

    So if 68% of the country is fat how many asshats that posted before me are fat pots calling fat kettles black, I'm guessing at least 2/3 of you. Hippo-crits



  11. 11

    Perez aren't you overweight so you can't talk about nobody. Fuck Prop 8!!!

    yeah, and i accidently just ran over an old pic of you, perez. :o wow, you weren't that ugly then, and skinny. stunning.



  14. 14

    I only loose wheight when I get my "lipo" sucked!! :-D



  15. 15

    Nothing can help the Riddler. She's tried everything. But the thing is, even her bones are fat! Not to mention she's a deceitful obese pig.



  16. 16

    People need to admit that they are fat in the first place. I'm so tired of hearing "Oh my kid is just big boned" 'I'm husky" "Fluffy" whatever. You/they are FAT. Dr.'s just need to hurt peoples' feelings & tell them the truth, most Dr.'s are afraid of saying anything.



  17. 17

    DONT WORRY ABOUT FAT PEOPLE,THEY WILL SURVIVE THE WORSENING FINANCIAL CRISIS WAY BETTER THAN THE SKINNY PEOPLE.
    THEY GOT FAT STORED UP TO USE WHEN THEY LOSE THEIR JOBS AND CANT AFFORD FOOD SHOPPING BETTER THAN THE SKINNY PEOPLE WHO WILL WILT AND DIE AWAY FROM STARVATION.



  18. 18

    Wow, those are truly scary numbers.

    But to the idiot who said Madonna was their inspiration for keeping fit…that's just disgusting. She has an unhealthy obsession with exercising and with her body image. She looks sickening. What a great goal you have there!



  19. 19

    Re: SheriMoonZombie – Your lingo really sux ass!



  20. 20

    For a 50 year old Madonna who had just gone on tour with a ripped physique and who was able to endure the physical demands of it that clearly shows how HEALTHY SHE IS. Her dancers have always been astounded with the abundance of energy that Madonna has and her dedication for training. Ever see a 50 year old do that? Bet if you reach 50 you can't even dance the way she does. MADONNA is strong, flexible, healthy and energetic. Ive seen her on her shows and man she kicks ass. Yeah she's my inspiration for discipline and Im proud to say the results are great. You wouldn't be able to keep up with Madonna stupid.



  21. 21

    HEY FAT ASS PEREZ…YOUR BIG BOBBLE-HEAD SHOULD BE IN THAT PICTURE INSTEAD OF THAT WOMAN CAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH FRIED CHICKEN YOUR BIG ASS EATS..



  22. 22

    The statistics indicate that Americans overeat and don't get enough exercise; probably stuffing their mouths with unhealthy, fattening food while sitting behind the computer or TV set. Maybe if the average citizen had received proper nutritional advice as children, they wouldn't be obese as adults.

    Eating well doesn't have to be expensive and walking a few miles every day doesn't cost a cent. Americans need to get off their fat butts and take responsibility for their bodies. And educate their children about food…



  23. 23

    I'm 5'4 and weigh 163 lbs. I would be considered overweight. However, I don't look fat as I'm very muscular. Muscle weighs more than fat. So posting height and weight just creates complexes in people.

    More importantly is how do your clothes fit on you? Do you feel and look healthy?



  24. 24

    Hey fatso, u are in no position 2 be callin anyone fat….



  25. 25

    Yes, & on your Early Show appearance you were shocked at "how big I used to be"…you still got a long way to go, honey! Just ’cause you finally decided to do something about it & lost a few pounds, it ain't all about you–now it's so easy for you to tell others that it's wrong to be overweight. Since you're still in the same boat, why don't you shut it before y'all sink!



  26. 26

    Last I looked Perez has lost quite a bit of weight - so he should be commended for taking action. A large percentage of Americans are fat and need to action - end of story.



  27. 27

    America will not get the obesity problem under control until our restaurants get on board in a collaborative effort to REDUCE PORTIONS. It is unbelievable how much food is piled onto one American serving. For example, most restaurant put enough fries on one plate to feed 3 people! No one seems to protest. It's disgusting. An entire national effort needs to take place. It's just one more big issue facing the new President.



  28. 28

    Re: crazygravy – He's still overweight.



  29. 29

    Re: MAYNARD – I'm perfectly thin, and I don't have an insane regime like that ugly as sin, old broad. Let's not forget Australia beat the U.S. in obesity this year.



  30. 30

    its gone up because of so many fat illegal aliens — you think these latin countries are so bad, why are the people such fat pigs



  31. 31

    Re: Yellow Peeps – it's not the resterants (or the governments) job to hold our hand and make sure we don't eat too much. It's time we stand up and take some personal responsability and put the fork down. Let's not be a contry that relies on the government to fix our EVERY problem.



  32. 32

    youre probably one of that 34%



  33. 33

    PEREZ U ARE #1 USA FATEST ! SRY BOYY, but u have some extra too and if u say that karolina have u haven't seen nothing ! not even urself !! stupid fat gay



  34. 34

    AMERICANS ??? CAN U SHUT DOWN SOME MCDONALD'S ?? SO U CAN BE HEALTY ! only in manhattan have 84 mcdonald's ! SHAMEE ! okey if it's about the money. some one please do as cheep as mcdonald's but healty where is healty food IT IS as good as mcdonald food ! for real?? think of ur kids future xo” misha from finland. SKINNY IN NATURE ! no diets. just healty food people??!



  35. 35

    Americans are taught to eat between meals, take seconds and thirds. Plus, we are also taught to eat everything on our plates, soooo … is it any wonder that we are hugely overweight?

    In Europe they don't snack, they appreciate food, and don't just LIVE to eat, like we do. French women don't get fat, because they are taught to care for themselves and not for the amount of food they eat (stuff themselves with).



  36. 36

    Good thing I'm not overweight or obese.



  37. 37

    Re: ITS NOT ME ITS YOU lulz
    Is it true ? Australia has more obese people then USA? I am surprised.



  38. 38

    Americans have always been fatties. Now we just know how many fatties are really out there.



  39. 39

    Geez pervez, you really favor your mom, from the rear, anyway. Too bad you didn't inherit her fashion sense! lol. Listen up! Alcohol, besides destroying brain cells (no problem there for you), the calories are dead and don't create energy. In your case, being an untethered bloated gas bag seems to be terminal. Your are on the right track, however, by referring to yourself as "we" (plural).

    150 pounds? whatever. that's a little ridiculous for standards.



  41. 41

    How amusing that you should say "WTF" because you are still porky and you were extremely obese before! You should know what its like! You should have a shred of compassion for others! Yet you dont, do you?



  42. 42

    OMFG!! How come that 70 % of Americans are overweight? Is that even possible???! You need to lay off super sized fast food meals..



  43. 43

    hahaha this is fucking hilarious. this is why I never eat out!



  44. 44

    NO OTHER NATION (EXCEPT CANADA AND MAY BE UK) COMES CLOSE TO HAVING THIS MANY GROSSLY OBESE AND OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE AS THE US OF A !!!



  45. 45

    your fatass shouldnt even have the balls to post this



  46. 46

    fat and stupid



  47. 47

    That is a well know fact around the world actually. Americans tend to be fairly narrow minded.



  48. 48

    Is she thinking? " Yowie KFC and El Pollo, I just can't decide? I got it I'll get both" for my date with Perez tonight" ?? P.S. seeing the two restaurants side by side is very nice? Finally an attempt to get the black and Hispanic population to mingle a little bit more and become good friends?



  49. 49

    Re: misha- – #33 and 34 Can someone please interpret this into English?



  50. 50

    so disgusting! makes me embarassed to be an american. people need to stop with the fast food and go for a walk



  51. 51

    Uh, really. Who the fuck cares?



  52. 52

    Dude, you're like an ex-smoker preaching to the smokers. The worst!

    Just remember where you were awhile back, k?

    Yeah, the country has gotten out of hand with it's eating habits, and I think it's time the government recognizes overeating and eating disorders as a disease. They need to start labeling food and products, just as they do with cigarettes and alcohol.



  53. 53

    Re: PreyToYou – food with warning labels? people aren't that stupid, they should know fruits and vegatables are healthier than candy and processed food. americans need to be responsible for what they put in their months and how much they work out. you can't expect the other people to hold their hands through life



  54. 54

    thats because americans eat too much fast food!!!!!!!!!!! ur kids r too fat -_-

  55. Wally says – reply to this


    55

    It's the corn syrup and salt thats poured into EVERYTHING normal American's eat and feed their children. Thank you Corporate aMerica. I know it's STILL the responsibility of the individual but come on, lot's do not know any better…



  56. 56

    So, Perez is still considered obese!



  57. 57

    I have to agree with those who say it's not the government's job to decide what we can and cannot eat. The problem isn't with someone ordering a portion of fries that turns out to be enough for 3 people…the problem is that they're ordering fries in the first place! Get a friggin' salad instead (with low fat dressing)! Or better yet, don't rely on restaurants to feed you, but prepare your own food. You don't have to be a gourmet chef or take hours and hours to cook…it's really not that hard.



  58. 58

    Re: MOMMIE DEARESTlol, you must be OBESE yourself. don't get upset and angry at the skinny people, just because you know that you are unhealthy and will never change.



  59. 59

    OMG, perezito… you're telling that woman to shape up??? what about YOU????
    you're the only fat gay man i've ever met in my life.
    I think most of you americans NEED to change their eating habits and start excercise.. cause this is definitely a serious issue!!

  60. MP says – reply to this


    60

    So what if the restaurants give you a huge portion…who says you have to eat the whole thing in one sitting? This is mainly a personal responsibility issue, you are the one who controls what you eat.



  61. 61

    *you're the only fat gay man i've ever seen in my life.



  62. 62

    It's funny how people bash on perez when they take the time out of their lives to go on his website and make him more famous. Perez has lost A LOT WEIGHT! Good for him! Its what we should all try and do after taking a look at these number. Its bc of the economy obesity will increase. Americans love fast and cheap (1$ menus), so it doesn't surprise me.



  63. 63

    yep , we are disgusting, ugh i feel like throwing up every time i think about it….



  64. 64

    your telling us to start working out when your obese yourself! WTF



  65. 65

    Re: trophygirlfriend
    Well, they label cigarettes and alcohol with warning labels, and they shouldn't have to, right? Those are decisions that adults (and kids) make every day. Oh and not to mention the government put age restrictions on them as well.
    It's just another thing that corporate America has kept shoving in our faces with the constant television and print ads, not to mention the upselling to make a little profit.
    I know how and when to eat, but with alcohol and cigarettes, when something is getting out of hand, someone else may need to step in.

  66. Savii says – reply to this


    66

    Perez, you are part of the 34%



  67. 67

    Re: PreyToYou – food already has a warning label. it's called the nutrition information. people should learn how to read them



  68. 68

    Fuck you perez simmons! I love you but you were a tub of shit not a year and half ago. I am happy for you and your weight loss and you look fuck'n hot be take it easy.



  69. 69

    That leaves less than 30% of the population in a healthy weight range!! - Gross



  70. 70

    Re: trophygirlfriend
    Oh, I know, but people are becoming ignorant to the nutrition labels and it's just sad.
    It should start with education in schools. And it should be made mandatory. But look how many kids are becoming obese by sitting at home with chips and cookies in front of a video game console as a babysitter. But then again, who wants their kids playing outside unless you can watch them 24/7-the world is getting creepy (but that's another topic!).
    It SHOULD start at home, then school, then adults making the right decisions. But if it's not going to happen that way, then restaurants and groceries should take accountability and label foods.



  71. 71

    Those are TOTAL bulshit rules on what is considered overweight. please! some people dont want to do coke like yourself to lose weight!



  72. 72

    What would Perez Hilton know about working out, the fat fuck



  73. 73

    You can't rely on those height to weight charts…..everybody has different bone mass, muscle structure, etc. Go by the BMI instead to get a more accurate assessment of your health. If I went by MY chart, I'd supposedly have to weight 146!!! Hell, I weighed 10 at birth and I'm only 5'10"! Don't believe 'em, just saying!



  74. 74

    Stop Staring At Me!!!

    mmmmmmmmmmm fried food! hey I eat lots of things that are not good for me, but I weigh 105 and i'm 4'11, i'm blessed with my parents genes, it must have something to do with it ha, plus I drink hot tea with all my meals must melt the fat away i'd like to think. mmmmmmmmm fried chicken mmmmm



  76. 76

    Okay big boy, do you really have any room to talk.



  77. 77

    Really? are your really saying that?

    Have you seen your fatass?

    shit perez



  78. 78

    You guys are idiots! That's not the way you can tell if someone is obese! 150 pounds for a 5ft5 perso is NOT obese or overweight! That's not how you calculate that! Everyone has a different morphology! You need to calculate the % of fat too.
    Bunch of ignorants bastards.
    And no, I'm not 150 pounds, if you're wondering.



  79. 79

    Fatty fat fat fat. Disgusting. Sex with a pig is so not hot.

  80. cmd08 says – reply to this


    80

    Wow…I don't think 5'5 and 150lbs is overweight, I think US is just VERY SHALLOW! My God! Life isn't about how much you f'n weigh. In order to be considered beautiful in this messed up country, you have to be 5'10 and weigh 100lbs. Being skinny is nastier than being "fat"

  81. cmd08 says – reply to this


    81

    And reading these comments have completely grossed me out. I'm not even overweight, I'm just a normal average girl and it makes me mad. Why are people so mean? Does it make you feel better to say that 'fat' people are gross and nasty? Yes, we all know America lives off fast food and crap, but you know why? It's cheaper than eating healthy!!!!!!!!!! Go in your stores and look at fresh foods, organic foods…they are twice as much as the unhealthy stuff. Not to mention the time, America is in such a rush all the time, it's hard to find the time to make a truly healthy meal. I hardly even eat due to time, yet I'm not a skinny bitch. There are much skinnier girls out there that eat like fuckin pigs and don't do shit, so lets not start throwing around how skinny people are smart and 'fat' people are dumb and lazy. It's all about your genes and how your body works, some people have to work very hard to keep in shape
