From the US Center for Disease Control: More than 9 million Americans are severely obese (ie, 100+ lbs over their ideal body weight).

This is equal to the population of London + 2 mil. If you can imagine a London populated with 300lb Americans in cotton shorts and oversized t-shirts printed with American flags and Warner Bros cartoons, you'll have some idea what we see ALL THE TIME here.
