Okay, I don't want to start the anti-Brit threads, but there is something really funny about women in Britain today. They found that they have dirtier hands than men when tested. They found remnants of feces on them. Nothing surprises me about women anymore, and this is in ALL countries. Men always get a bad rap: fat, dirty. Women are treated like princesses. Dirty feckers! Then there's this:

British women are the most overweight in Europe, according to figures released by the European Commission.

Nearly a quarter of women in the UK, some 23.9%, were obese in 2008/9, the data revealed.

British men were not far behind on 22.1% and were the second most overweight, second only to Malta.

Separate figures showed that around a third, 32%, of English children aged 11 to 15 are overweight or obese.

The data released by the commission showed the proportion of obese people among adults in Europe ranged from 8% to 23.9% for women and 7.6% to 24.7% for men.

In all of the 19 member states that data was available for, the share of overweight and obese people increased with age.

The proportion of women who were obese or overweight was also shown to fall as the educational level rose.

The high levels of obesity in the UK are in contrast to countries like Romania, where just 8% of women and 7.6% of men are classed as obese.

The statistics come weeks after Health Secretary Andrew Lansley launched a new goal to bring down England's obesity levels by 2020.

He said Britons should be eating five billion fewer calories a day and urged people to be honest with themselves about what they eat and drink.

Obesity is placing a major toll on health services in the UK, with hospital admissions related to the issue up by more than 30% since 2008/9.

A man or woman is defined as obese if their body mass index (BMI) is 30 or above and overweight if it is between 25 and 30.

The BMI is a measure of a person's weight relative to their height. It is calculated by dividing body weight by body height squared.
