Australians are fatter than Americans!

Well, if we can't be number one in something, this would be it :-) But we can't crow too loudly because they only won by one percentage point :-( The latest comprehensive obesity study has shown that 26 per cent...

That's really odd. I always imagined Australians as Rugby-playing, surfing dynamos. I guess Vegemite and Foster's Lager is a dangerous combo.
I'm sure Jay Leno is smiling about this.
That is surprising. I mean, if I thought anyone out there was fatter than us, I would've voted for Scotland. (Home, after all, of the deep fried candybar, and where they've actually done studies where men admitted not eating any vegetables after reaching 18.)
Karen, that's a wonderful idea that somehow I've missed. I'm going to fry up some Mars bars in tempura mix and dust them with powdered sugar right now! I'm going to start with frozen and see how that works. Yum! or however they say it in Scotland.
Yeah, like fried ice cream, I think you do have to start with it frozen.
For all its utter lack of nutritional value, it sounds like it tastes wonderful.
I tried both Mars bars and the little chocolate covered almong thingees you can get in the big jars and Costco, just now and they work great. You just need to have the oil hot enough when you dip the candy in. I could eat a dozen at a time. Ice cream, even better! Yum!
PS The Costco chocolate covered almond clusters say they have no high-fructose corn syrup in them, so they're healthy.
I suspect this is probably just an effect of gravity being different on the opposite side of the earth, which causes bellies to hang differently and skews the measurements.
Thanks for today's chuckle, Looney.
Actually I think its due to all of those Golden arches opening up downunder over the last few years. I prefer a pie floater and a nice cold Coopers Pale Ale myself.

At least your body will let you know when it's done eating them :-) I hope it does so at one. Deep fat frying candy isn't "healthy" by anyone's definition.
