    You FAT bastards! 355 of Kiwis obese

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/new...d-eat-too-much

    The battle of the bulge is being lost, with more than half of the population in the dangerous weight zone.

    A staggering 63 per cent of New Zealanders are either overweight or obese, according to a survey by market researcher Roy Morgan.

    Well BMI isnt always a great indication unless you want a nation of anorexics. Nearly all of the all black squad would be classed as 'overweight'

    eg - Ritchie McCaw at 1.87m tall and 106kg = BMI 30






    BMI result
    Underweight Healthy Overweight Obese
    NZ European Less than 18.5 18.5 to 25 25 to 30 Greater than 30

    Maori/
    Pacific Islanders
    Less than 18.5 18.5 to 26 26 to 32 Greater than 32

    "according to a survey by market researcher Roy Morgan."

    I wonder who would be sitting around with time to do his survey? Wouldn't be us fatties as we are too busy watching telly or re-heating the pies.

    We are getting fatter because the marketing companies want us to. The fat isn't real it is all just spin.

    yeah I can beat that by over 50% and still jog over 5k.

    Wonder if the pie is ready yet? Bloody microwaves are slow.

    Admittingly I have put away the beef over the last few years, but when i was playing rugby I was 165cm and between 65-70kg, which still made me over weight according to the BMI, and I was as fit if not fitter than a fiddle and as well built and a brick shit house
