Actually 'fatness' it quite genetic. Even the desire to eat is. Please don't let your American envy devour you.
I expect you are all just "big boned"
To be honest, a light hearted jab at your portlyness is hardly equivolent to being consumed by envy. Then again i am not particularly au fait with consumtion as , alas, i have only a regular sized fridge in which to store my envy.
I expect you will get more violent reaction from many Euros as this article basically says "we have much better stuff than you because we are honest hard workers while you lot (euros) are lazy degenerates with to much holiday and a poor standard of living while offering zero hard facts (apart from you have fridges in which you can stroll around:))"
However everyone's entitled to their opinions.
P.S. Does starting to sweat while getting out of a chair = high quality of life?
Sorry i really couldn't resist that last one, no offence intended to any fatties out there (euro or US)
