Yeah, but I bet we rank first in freedoms and happiness, and since when is Wikipedia a reliable resource?

We're #48 but the difference between the US at 48 and Andorra at #1 is 5.66 years. Big deal. Given all the fried crap we eat, I thought it was going to be 20 years.

probably because of all the cheap unhealthy food here, and the fact we eat out at those places so much because we are so busy working..etc.
most countries come home to their families and have nice home-cooked meals, while we just go to Krispy Kreme or McDonalds more often and get food there for our families because we are too busy/lazy to cook for ourselves.
Plus, it seems we add more unhealthy things to our food than they do, we add all kinds of chemicals, and we probably consume them more often.

I think I'll continue to eat right and take care of myself as to not add to the statistic. We are a nation of overweight pigs who continue to shovel it in and then sit in front of the boob tube.
Good riddens I say
