40 Percent of Fat Americans Pigs Lying to Selves, Telephone Surveyors
Topic: National News

A phone survey of 1,100 Americans showed that the majority of those called claimed that they had healthy eating habits, proving that fat people do indeed lie to not only themselves, but others as well.  Plus, 40 percent of obese people interviewed in the study claimed to "vigorously exercise" three times a week.  Yeah right.

The study also confirmed that over 2/3's of Americans are overweight, and yet don't admit to it or realize it.  Respondants were not required to let the surveyors know that they eat, but our guess is that the 40 percent of fat people who claimed to work out probably had a diet somewhere near the old food pyramid that recognized the major food groups.  The bacon group, sugar group, soda group and pizza group.

Sigh.  At least we're not fat anymore, so we now have the right to feel bad for these denial-munching chunk-monsters.
