65% of Americans are "overweight", while 25-30% are "obese".
Thank you for the clarification - I (embarrassingly) couldn't recall the correct term.

P.S.: IMHO, the OP's argument has little to say for it other then a source of discrimination against anyone considered medically overweight by Doctor Quackenbush today. Body weight ≠ bad attitude, that is no more or less akin to any statement in the racist category. What does he have to say about our very own Clydesdale's forum? "Overweight" cyclists have bad attitudes? Spare me.
