To big to fit into an xray machine? Maybe they have different machines in the UK but every xray machine I have seen you don't have to fit into.
Toby, you must be incredibly slow or have comprehension problems.
It is saying thatthe current designs of xray machines, cat scans etc are too small for the ever more obese public.
It is true that some radiographical machines aren't restricted by size, such as those used to xray teeth etc but of those machines that are restricted, the ever more obese size of the public is causing a problem...

Then it is the study you are arguing against, not the BBC.
They didn't conduct the study, they are reporting on another body's study as they do with a great many studies...

Nice cop out. The BBC article is titled "Americans 'too fat for x-rays'"
I have to agree with Toby. This is just the lame ass BBC doing a little america bashing. Brits are getting just as fat. And you people can't take the heat either. Pussies. OMG it got to 90 degrees!!! We're all going to die!!!

If you could read beyond the headline you would note...
"Increasing numbers of Americans are becoming too fat to fit into X-ray machines, US researchers report. "
This states that the concern in the increase in numbers, reiterated by this...
"Over the past 15 years, the number of failed scans linked to patient obesity has doubled, Radiology journal reports"
It also states that the problem is coming over here too..
"The obesity rates in the US have been going up relentlessly. Sadly, in the UK we are following in their wake."
Is a little comprehension too much to ask?
If the BBC wanted to bash America it wouldn't bother with this but with the US government's unswerving support for Israeli terrorism.
As for the heatwave, we all loved it. From what I hear it is Californians that are dropping dead in numbers due to the heat. They must be pussies then?
