As if Americans were not fat enough already, here comes...

Almost everyone will admit that the American population is becoming more and more obese.
In fact, some studies show that it is becoming an epidemic.

Some question how this could happen...some that aren't too intelligent in my book...but for those that need an answer, here is part of the reason why:

First, there was fried Coke, fried Twinkies, and fried Oreos.
Now there is FRIED BUTTER...yes that is right fried butter.

Wow...just wow.

Fried... Coke? How does that work?super_mario_128

I think the cup might be fried and you eat it afterward.

ive died and gone to heaven:o

Fried...butter.

Ew...srsly.

I heard they do deep fried Mars bars down the local chippy. I've never had one because I'm lactose intolerant.

I didn't know it existed tbh...

Fried... Coke? How does that work?super_mario_128

It's batter soaked in Coke and then fried.

To be fair, I've never seen any of these items outside of the State Fair of Texas, which is a two week annual event (though I suspect they'd be available at most State Fairs by now...)

I don't disagree. At all.

Taken from 2007 (Forbes.com) so I'm not sure how up-to-date it is, but this table pitches America as only the 9th fattest nation. It's a wealthy capitalist nation with an abundance of fresh produce, so it's no surpirse it ranks so high on the list.

How the hell do you fry coke?

Read the other posts. Nevermind. Doesnt sound very nice though.

Fried butter sounds so delicious I had a fatgasm just reading about ithamstergeddon

Very nice...I will have to remember that one...just catching the swine flue...for when you take a less than stellar girl home from the bar

That sounds so gross; although, when I was 6 I ate an entire stick of butter candy bar style, all because my older brothers told me to...

yeah, not gonna lie...I am kind of proud of myself for that one. 8) haha

Eww... my tummy hurts now.

Eh. I feel sick inside my stomach now.

Hasnt anyone ever heard of an apple, banana or salad? I guess thats why Canada isnt on that list!

People in general are overweight. Yes that includes other countries and not just the states. I believe Australia is on pace to be number one. And in the UK they fry candy bars etc so this is nothing new. Just copied.LJS9502_basic

In the Uk (Mostly in Scotland andIn Northern Ireand, not so much England and Wales) It's possible to get Cadbury Mar's bars, Curly Wurleys etc fried in and Fish and Chips shop.

BTW Mars bars etc. > Herseys, I was actually disspointed by the taste and range of sweets in America last few times I was over, tho I found an Ex-patriot Irish shop in NYC and another in Boston and stocked up there.

I still need to try the fried banana! I am so far behind. :(Jazz_Fan

Uh fried bananas are awesome.

This is just revolting as heck.

Why would anybody want to have fried butter? That just sounds disgusting.

Except some of those countries like Tonga, try to be fat, as its a sign of beauty in their culture. And I thought that Australia passed us for being the most obese country in the world?

I know, but still.......fried butter? There are probably much better things you could buy with your money than that.

And this is why the US is the best country in the world.

When your country's biggest health epidemic is directly related to too much food, you know you've got it good.

i agree we americans are too fat.. lol

I am this close to giving up on America.
