Ah, that think we call 'Skinny Fat'  where someone looks skinny, but still has a high percentage of body fat.  (Usually cause they don't have much muscle tone.)

Because if the high level of bodyfat, it is considered unhealthy.  Frustrating though, I feel ya, I was that way once.

Eventhough you are helping the USA lose the fat race with Mexico.

Congratulations man! Good work!

This is stupid, Mexico is by far not the most obese country in Mexico the world, maybe the 2nd one, but NOT more than the USA.

I say this because I went to Chicago last year and I tried to look at some hot chicks or even guys on the street and ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS FAT, and my brother agreed (he lives there), he told me that at some point he was not looking for a hot girl anymore, but for a non-obese girl at least...

In comparision, no one of my friends is fat and only a few members of my family are, and while you walk in the streets you can actually see normal people

doesn't make any sense, does it?

btw: I am not attacking the USA at all, I am just trying to explain why these kind of "news" are absolutely manipulated

Oh, I bet it is.

lol shut up I was being distracted

Thanks Zappykins! I am not American though. Perhaps I give the wrong example to the american youth? :P

On the subject, maybe this article isn't entirely accurate? I mean, mexican cuisine can bulk you up, but it doesn't compare to french fries dipped in milk shake(god I love that), does it?

French Fried dipped in Milk Shake?  Well, now, I thought I had heard everything.

Well I live in texas and have heard someone mention "the spread" referring to obesity of Hispanics after the age of 15, so there are definitely some Hispanics (Mexicans) in America that contribute to the obesity factor, but most I actually know aren't obsessed though I've seen a lot... currently 25m+ Mexicans in Texas

Mexico is a developed country? Didn't know that.

@zippy... French fries in a frosty... been doing that since the late 80's... 150lbs later... still love it
