I was led to this site from the american website a few days ago, with someone bashing America, and of course there is the people who say they hate America and we are all fat... Well a few monthes ago, I was reading yahoo news and there was an article about how Europe was increasing in obesity at a high rate. I was curious about the comparison so I looked it up.
source: http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,600138503,00.html
In Britain, one in five children are overweight or obese, in Spain the figure rises to 30 percent, and in Italy, 36 percent. In the United States, roughly 30 percent of American children are overweight or obese, according to recent studies.
I admite Britains obesity rate is quite a bit lower, by 10%. But its kind of like a 250lb person calling a 300lb person fat. You guys have the problem too, so why do you use it as a reason to hate America? I know there are other reasons and I dont want to hear about them, because I already have and a lot I agree with.
