I prefer not to ignore my problems, or those of America for that matter. I'll mind my own business, but this isn't a private isolated problem.

I've been fat all my life. At my heaviest I was 328lbs, when I was 18 years old. Now, 22 -- I weigh in at 242lbs.
Ok, now that I've justified my opinion, here it is - You can't make fat people lose weight by telling them that they're fat. They know that they're fat, they even know that its unhealthy and that they're probably on their way to type 2 diabetes or a massive coronary. Fat people will only decide to lose weight if they want to. Its as simple as that.
America is a country of gluttons, I don't care what your vice is, if you're American I'm betting that you're gluttonous about some aspect of life. The problem is your not going to get the smokers, drinker, and fatties to change by screaming at them or belittling them. Statistics aren't going to work. They're probably going to say 'fuck it.' I know, I did.
