The study cites universal health care as a major factor:
That's possible--but I wonder if there aren't also differences in diet and lifestyle that might account for some of it. One of the main indicators is the rate of diabetes--and type II diabetes is related to obesity. Canadian and US diets are similar, but there's a lot more prepared food down here, and the cheapest food is always the worst for you. |
The Southern states have a horrible diet. Biscuits and gravey for breakfast (white bread with white sausage gravy). barf. Lots of food is deep fried and coated with batter. Very fatty diet, and shows, since the majority of people in the south are quite large. So I think most of the States has a similar diet to us, the south is way worse.
