America Tipping

[Perianne]

If this continues, I am afraid the United States will tip over and fall into the ocean.

Weight Watchers reports earnings Thursday, and even if the numbers aren't good, there's one figure that should make investors in dieting hopeful: 582 million.


That's how many pounds Americans gained collectively in 2015. Through births, immigration and overeating, there has been the equivalent of 1,400 blue whales added to the human biomass of our country in just a year, pointing to the need for groups like Weight Watchers to get the country lean and mean again.


The average American man weighed 196 pounds in November, according to Gallup, up 3 pounds from a year earlier. The average woman actually lost 2 pounds since 2014 and weighed 155 pounds.

It's not me. I weigh 114.

I noticed they only have totals for men and women. What about transgenders?
