Well they are

Just as the Germans, the citizens of the entire western world (USA included) is on its way to change the meaning of the term industrialized to fat.

Too funny, what are the physical requirements these days anyway? Way too low-ish? Raise them and the problem is solved!

Germany Turning Into an XXL Country

The German army has discovered that more and more of its rank-and-file soldiers are unable to keep up the pace because they are too fat.

The German army believes it risks being lumbered with a generation of under-performing heavyweights due to the dramatic overall rise in obesity in the country, according to the current issue of newsmagazine Der Spiegel.

Armed Forces doctor Admiral Karsten Ocker told Der Spiegel he feared Germany could be on course to becoming "an XXL nation."

The number of joint and back injuries is rising because soldiers are simply too fat to carry out the physical tasks expected of them, the report said.

In Germany one young person in three is now classed as obese, more than half of adolescents aged 16 to 18 do no sport and a quarter of 15-year-olds spend more than four hours a day in front of the television.

Do tell!

Hahahaa, Mike. Then there are times I have to switch to the sweatpants with the elastic "tie" in front, hahaha. (Usually in winter because I'm not into outdoor winter stuff.)

The important thing is to learn to breathe in deep and pull in the belly whenever a pretty girl walks by. When she's walked on by, then a guy can breath out again!!
