ike never before.
That's true, it's quite sad and frankly disgusting.... You'd never see overweight people in Poland 10-20+ years ago... now a ton of them have bellies, diabetes is going up, etc. I blame the fast food craze and Poles getting comfortable... before people would walk everywhere and you'd sweat your ass off in the car during summertime because no one had klima... now poles have gotten use to all the western creature comforts...
600 lbs Pole either - unlike the US.
That is true. Most of the Poles who are overweight seem to have it just like in their tummies (pilka) whereas like in US it seems to like spread all over their bodies... even their faces get fat...
If you think the US is fat you should see some of the gulf countries like Kuwait... its hot as hell outside so theyre always indoors, they never exercise, and they always hang out at restaurants because that's the only entertainment and the place to 'be seen'
In the US more and more it's poor people that are fat. It use to be the opposite where traditionally poor people were skinny and wealthy people were fat - even described as 'fat cats' and caricaturized as such. Now its more people people who are overweight/obese because can't afford healthy food which tends to be expensive so they have to budget like $6 for a meal, which won't get you much aside from a big mac or something. wealthy people eat much better food and have time to exercise. every Saturday and sunday morning there's like 100 people cycling in a group and even on like Monday at 10 am you see joggers and cyclists. you go to the gym anytime during the day and its packed even more so once people are off work at like 5-6 pm
and by the way, what's with all the Polish women that cut their hair short almost like a guy's once they hit middle age??? I never understood that....
