I think this pretty much sums it up. People associate being fat with being lazy.



There's various other reasons as well but too many to mention.

no most people i know does not constitute the majority. but in terms of polling its a safe assumption...no different than exit polls during electionsh:
if by production, you're referring to manufacturing, then no, those are not production only stats. look at the "industry" column in the first link, and look at the whole table.

umm, most people you know is not anywhere near an accurate poll for the entire american population. the information that the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects, however, is.

The American work ethic is to get as rich as possible and do the least amount of work.

Everyone wants to be Paris Hilton and no one want is willing to spend ten years of their life becoming something great.
