Some facts...
http://www.pbs.org/now/science/fit.html
Much of Europe is having their own obesity epidimic. And many European countries are finding a higher percentage of obese children than the US.
The stats:
Percentage of 10-year-olds overweight or obese, 2002,
Italy: 36%
Greece: 31%
Spain: 30%
United States: 25%
Britain: 22%
France: 17%
Germany: 15%
Netherlands: 14%
Percentage U.S. 12-19-year-olds overweight, c. 1999-2000: 15.5%
I must say, 15.5% is HARDLY representitive of an entire population.
But then, why let facts get in the way of smug jokes from the land of surrender monkeys?
