Bet firemen don't like them. When really fat people get dehydrated they can spontaneously combust. Apparently it smells like gammon steak. I saw it on the Discovery channel.
Are you being deliberately obtuse? Asians are, on the whole, the shortest of races. There are lots of us Asian short-arses in this country - therefore we have brought the average height in the UK down. How is that racist??
I'm 5'2 or 5'3 - in my community I'm considered facking STATUESQUE!!!
I suspect that if you eliminated women over 60 the height would shoot up. 5ft 3 is quite short (this is not a value judgment btw) for a young woman.
definitely. Every generation of my family that I know of I can observe is taller on average than the generation before them.
As for people asking why it's scary, I think the figures are a bit scary because both are in the overweight category in terms of BMI - obesity has been increasing.

Eh? My sister's 65 and she's 5 ft 10. She only weighs about 8 stone, though, and has to be careful in case she falls down drains. I'm 5 ft 8 and weigh around 11 stone, my BMI is just within the normal range, so someone who's 5 ft 3 and the same weight is above the healthy weight range, whatever euphism one cares to use.

And I suppose they all eat rice and learn the "Analects" of Confucius by rote!!
Need I go on? These all have 'curvy' sexy hourglass figures...
Cuddly = fat!
Curvy = sexy
Tsk! :rolleyes:
The hourglass figure is a body type, it's got nothing to do with the amount of fat you have, it's to do with how it's distributed. A size 6 woman can be an hourglass, and therefore technically curvy.
Anyway, i agree that curvy has become a euphemism for fat, it's less 'Marilyn Monroe' and more 'impending death by harpoon'.
Waist size and risk of health problems
You have a higher risk of health problems if your waist size waist (circumference) is:
•more than 94cm (37 inches), if you’re a man
•more than 80cm (31.5 inches), if you’re a woman
Your risk of health problems is higher still if your waist size is:
•more than 102cm (40 inches), if you’re a man
•more than 88cm (34.5 inches), if you’re a woman
We're talking about weight here....not algebra etc...
Talk about being a pedant!!!
It's not algebra. The guy was just using signs which were too complicated for you to understand causing you to give an earful to anyone who tried to explain that you were barking up the wrong tree.
In totally unrelated news the average man has been educated to A-Level standard while the average woman has only got GCSE A*-C whatever that means.

I can bet the Asians bring down the average height, also.
Racist :mad:
Actually a factoid is by definition always incorrect, otherwise it's just a fact

Oh ok! Good man!
Glad to see someone sticking up for us!
As for the maths signs? wtf?! Who cares?!!!!

What are their BMIs and waist to hip ratios?
If the "obesity epidemic" is based purely on a persons BMI then it might not be all that scary at all

Means nothing
My BMI is bang on 22 but put me next to a stick thin waif and i'll look like a dumper truck
Why on earth would I know what their BMI's are?
Are you saying they're not attracive or sexy etc?
I'm surprised nobody has commented on the £8k difference between the average man's wage and the average (full time working) woman's.
It's not just BMI, though that is indeed a good general indicator. A minority of people cannot rely on it, however the majority of people can.
Not only that, but it's to do with waist measurement also:
