But if you walk along Lincoln Road at 4:00pm, you are bound to run into a few international models since about 1500-2000 live and work in South Beach. But South Beach is not really a fair sample of the USA. For one thing the primary language spoken is Spanish. PS. An amazing hobby in SB Miami is to drive up and down Ocean Rd in you're sporty convertible or hummer at 15mph. Just back and forth every 15 minutes cruisin' - for what I don't know.

Re: United States of OBESITY
Singapore has the cure for obesity.
Every young Singaporean has to do National Service. When they start their service they are told their ideal weight. If they are overweight when their term of enlistment is up, then it's bad luck...they don't get to leave until they reach that weight. Very few fat people in Singapore.

Re: United States of OBESITY
OP - Depending on what type of pants you're looking for, you may have to go to one of the 'designer' stores (like Hollister, Abercrombie, Buckle, to name just a few).
It is rather difficult in North America these days to find clothes that actually fit if you're less than 20 pounds overweight. I'm 5'10, 150 lbs. and have to go into the kids' section at places like WallyWorld. One of the roots of this problem is that most people on this continent consider it an insult if they have to walk (or bike) anywhere. Quote:

I know where you are coming from with this. I am six four and about 174ish and I get over the fall with a belt that could hold up my car. This belt kicks some major booty. But I wonder why people let themselves get to that point to begin with. For people who want a kickass belt or just something that will cause bodily harm to someone trying to pants you check this out. Seriously this thing has yet to come loose on me ever. http://store.thewilderness.com/prod...roducts_id=1186 V.

Re: United States of OBESITY
After struggling in this area for many years, I have come to the conclusion that a lot of people really don't know how to eat well. I didn't and had to do a ton of research to finally figure things out. I'm on my waay to getting back towards a normal BMI, and of course riding 50 - 70 miles a week doesn't hurt either.
