Uh, oh—the Europeans appear to be doing their best to catch up with the US in the obesity stakes. The BBC reports that more than half of adults living in Europe are overweight or obese, with the UK leading the pack.
I suppose we have the same root causes to blame: sedentary life style & increasingly crap diet. Sad to think that Romania currently appears to have the lowest percentage of lardbutts; & I don’t really want to explore why that would be. But I hope they learn from our experience & take steps to reverse the trend before it starts costing them what we've had to pay in healthcare costs & lost productivity.
