Well Iceland just was called the fattest country in Europe, which I doubt to be quite honest.

There is however a big change since the last time I lived here in 2000, and there is a definite change in how Icelanders look, way more obese young people than ever before and there is a lot of alarm bells being sounded.

I totally do not see the morbidly obese as much in Iceland as I did in Canada and especially the US, so I do think Icelanders have gotten chubby, but no way are most of these people in nearly as bad of a situation as other people in North America considered obese.

I find the people of Iceland to be way more interested in health and fitness, all companies here really push their employees to eat better, workout, and all the unions offer big discounts and even money towards buying bikes, gym memberships, etc..
