Are Americans Fat, Lonely and Smelly?

If the Census Bureau has their numbers right, Americans are fat, lonely and their neighbours smell funny.

Almost four million Americans told them they are bothered by odours coming from their neighbours. And about half of them want to move, but they're not willing to get off the couch.

Americans will spend the equivilant of 65 days in front of the TV and a little over a week surfing the Internet.

And about those feet: America has a shoe fetish. Consumers bought 2.1 billion pairs of imported shoes this year. That's seven pairs a person.
