Avg. US weight
A Gallup poll reports that on average Americans weigh almost 20 pounds more than they did in 1990, based on the self-reports of more than 1,000 people. The average man weighs 196 pounds while the average woman is 160 pounds. And most of us—62 percent-are already overweight or obese.
..When asked how they would describe their own weight, only 39 percent of Americans described themselves as “overweight,” while 56 percent reported their weight was “about right.”
According to last year’s poll, about 27 percent of Americans are actively trying to lose weight (apparently this question wasn’t asked this year). If we want to stop rising levels of obesity in America, this number will have to increase, and/or we’ll have to start eating healthier. I wouldn’t bet on the latter, however, in a country that counts a slice of pizza as one serving of vegetables. If current trends continue, nearly 80 percent of Americans may be obese or overweight by 2020, according to one recent study.

Hey. I still like juice. lol It's better than sodas, which I don't touch. I gained size when I started lifting weights. But, I've never been big.
The number one vegetable consumed in the U.S. is the potato in the form of french fries. Bleh! :P

Sleeping all night in the soul kitchen makes people fat. The lock says it's time to go and they eat all the ice cream. Once I had beer gelato.

But they stopped serving it because the ice cream parlor didn't have a liquor license. Lucky for me.
