Why are Irish people getting so fat??

yank_in_eire · 29-07-2009, 21:25

Where I'm from back in the States it's not unusual to see people who are so fat they can't walk and have to use those electric scooters to haul their lard around.
When I first visited Ireland 8 years ago you had to search far and wide to find a big fattie like that but now your average day trip to the Square will result in more sightings that you can jiggle a cellulite-pocked buttock at.

SO, fair people of Ireland - my question is: Why the hell are you porking up so much? Is it too much calorie-laden food? Too much drink? Too much PS/Xbox/World of Warcraft? Is it glandular? Are you just big-boned? Or are you emulating the sterling image provided by your wonderfully fit Minister for Health??

Help me understand!

Look at yourself. What're you doing? Sitting on your growing arse on boards. As roughly 4000 people do at peak time.
Boards is making the Irish fat.

Wait...

We're fat because we're trying to pose as Americans, so we can get out of this recession-laden country!
