> 75% of America is either overweight or obese right now. Do you have a citation for that? I'm seeing numbers closer to 30% (which is still bad).

    Woah, I stand corrected. That's insane.

      The BMI tables are fairly unexpected. 5'8" normal range is 125-158 and at 125 you look like you run the 2 mile in track. Of course that also shows how many Americans are overweight since the scrawny track kid is considered super skinny.
