BERLIN (Reuters) - Conservative politicians are urging German men to have more sex to boost birth rates or risk being labelled "limp" abroad, a newspaper has reported.


Johannes Singhammer, a member of parliament and father of six, said Germany's ageing population needed to produce more offspring to sustain its overstretched pensions system.


"Children are our future," Singhammer told Germany's Bild newspaper on Friday. "Germans need to work more on that again in bed. Things mustn't get to the stage where German men are scoffed at abroad for being limp."


His words were echoed by fellow conservative Armin Klein, who said Germans had become too selfish.


"We need to have the courage to have sex and take the consequences," said Klein, who has two children. "People concentrating on themselves, which has led to a life without children for many, has gone wrong."

BRUSSELS, Belgium - At least seven European countries now challenge the United States in size — at least around the waistline. In a group of nations from Greece to Germany, the proportion of overweight or obese men is higher than in the U.S., experts said Tuesday in a major analysis of expanding girth on the European continent.

"The time when obesity was thought to be a problem on the other side of the Atlantic has gone by," said Mars Di Bartolomeo, Luxembourg's Minister of Health.

In Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Malta and Slovakia, a higher percentage of men are obese or overweight than the estimated 67 percent of men in the United States, according to a report from the International Obesity Task Force, a coalition of researchers and institutions.

The analysis was released as the 25-nation European Union (news - web sites) announced an initiative to enlist the food and marketing industries in the fight against fat.

Obesity is especially acute in Mediterranean countries, underscoring concerns that people in the southern region are turning away from the traditional diet of fish, fruits and vegetables to fast food high in fat and refined carbohydrates.

In Greece, for example, 38 percent of women are obese, compared with 34 percent in the United States, the group said.

Even in countries with low rates of obesity, troubling trends are emerging. In France, obesity in women rose from 8 percent in 1997 to 11.3 percent in 2003, and from 8.4 percent to 11.4 percent in men.

The change in diets, which the obesity task force said has occurred over the past two decades, affects children most because it is reflected in school lunches.

The task force estimated that among the EU's 103 million youngsters the number of those overweight rises by 400,000 each year. More than 30 percent of children ages 7 to 11 are overweight in Italy, Portugal, Spain and Malta, it said.

That matches estimates for American children. Among American adults, about two-thirds are overweight or obese; nearly one-third qualify as obese.

The International Obesity Task Force, which is advising the European Union, had estimated in 2003 that about 200 million of the 350 million adults living in what is now the European Union may be overweight or obese.

However, a closer evaluation of the figures in the latest analysis indicated that may be an underestimate, according to the group.

EU asks public for help in tackling rise in obesity By Jeremy SmithThu Dec 8, 6:39 AM ET


Europe's health chief issued a public invitation on Thursday to find concrete ideas for tackling an alarming rise in obesity, especially among children, by promoting healthy diets coupled with more physical exercise.
Views on how to make fruits and vegetables more attractive to consumers, as well as improving the nutritional value of school meals, are included in an extensive European Commission survey that aims to curb Europeans' expanding waistlines.
"More than 400,000 children are estimated to become overweight every year and today's overweight teenagers are tomorrow's heart attack or diabetes victims," EU Health and Consumer Protection Commissioner Markos Kyprianou said.
In the 25-nation EU, up to 27 percent of men and 38 percent of women are now considered to be obese, with almost one in four children seen as overweight. Obesity also accounts for up to 7 percent of health care costs across the bloc.
The problem is worst in southern countries, as traditionally healthy Mediterranean diets give way to processed foods rich in fat, sugar and salt -- although Poland and Britain have also seen steep rises in child obesity in recent years.
Spain, Portugal and Italy report obesity levels above 30 percent in children aged between 7 and 11, the Commission says.
The Commission's public consultation will run until March, with a report summarizing the findings due by June.
It pays special attention to food offered to children in schools, saying it is "vital that children be guided toward healthy behaviors" and requesting views on the "excessive intake of energy-dense and sugar-sweetened soft drinks."
Other areas include ways of presenting nutrition information to consumers and whether national self-regulation on advertising foods that are energy-dense and poor in micronutrients is enough for EU governments to reverse the Europe's obesity trend.

Put this another way...........

Europe - Thoroughbred sports cars, lithe, agile beautiful

USA - Big, cool cars, power and lazy motors

I just HAVE to defend the US stuff here; yes, they are big and ungainly, but hell they have made some of the coolest cars on the planet

BTW, my Audi weighs 600 pounds more than my Dart, and about the same as the Challenger concept, and also about the same as a BMW M5.:smash:

I really do wish that MG had sold its cars here. Probably wouldn't have folded the way it did. The MGF would surely have sold as well as the Mazda MX5.

I love Chervolet Chevelle. nearly 600hp :D (V8 ironblock 7,2l). Nice sounds, i love the engine sound of V8.

George Bush Jnr strikes again :p

After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if Osama is still alive," on TV; Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game. Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a single line of coded text:

370HSSV-0773H

Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condi Rice. Condi and her aides had not a clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to the NASA.

Eventually they asked Britain's MI-6 for help. Within a minute MI-6 cabled the White House with this reply:


"Tell the President he's holding the message upside down." :D :roflmao:
