what the hell. It is a commonly known fact that America has a problem with obesity. And it is getting worse. Why get defensive about it.
BTW, europe, which has roughly the same population as USA won much much more gold, silver and bronze medals than USA in the last olympics. Individual countries such as Uk, France, Gemrany have the same population as California.
And Story, the sex change thing your refeering to was done by the Nazi during the 40's. There were hardly any regulations then and the few regulations that there were, were almost impossible to enforce.
