According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans are the fattest people on the planet.
At the same time, though, the bureau's 2007 Statistical Abstract points out, we're also getting taller so it just may be that our height hasn't caught up to our weight. Or vice versa.
The bureau also reported that Americans now spend about eight and a half hours a day watching TV, goofing around on the computer or generally sitting around on their fat posteriors.
Think there might be connection between that and the fat thing?
