Not at all given the statistics. But I take advantage of the stereotype positively. When I'm abroad, people are surprised when I open my mouth to speak to realize I'm American because their instant assumption is that I'm not because I'm not fat. I just take it in stride as a compliment that I'm a positive representation of my country rather than the obeasts that constantly give us a shitty reputation.
