Beaches for the Svelte, Where the Calories Are Showing
By LARRY ROHTER
Published: January 13, 2005
RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 6 - Fat Brazilians? In a body-conscious society whose gifts to global culture include the girl from Ipanema, the tanga bikini and Gisele Bündchen and other supermodels, the idea seems heretical. Yet a controversial government study released late last month confirms it: Brazil is experiencing an epidemic of obesity.

okay, SOME brasilians may be overweight, but they do NOT have cellulite. not like americans. that's one of the big giveaways.

Oh yes, we do. And newsflash, you don't have to be overweight.
All you need to do is drink 4 bottles of coke everyday, like I do lol

Better look at those pics again.
The New York Times is in hot water again. On Jan. 13, the paper ran a story by Larry Rohter on the spread of obesity and illustrated the story with pictures snapped by freelance photographer John Maier on the fabled Ipanema Beach in Brazil.
The only problem, the "fat" Brazilians depicted in the photos weren't Brazilians at all, but were visiting European tourists. At least that's what the Rio de Janeiro daily O Globo was reporting yesterday.
