This is sort of related.

I was on a Carolina Hurricanes board a few years ago after they played against Montreal. A couple of them got involved in a side conversation about the lower number of over-weight people they see in the crowd at games in Canada than what they are used to seeing in Carolina. After reading that, I notice the same thing. Sometimes there is little difference, but many times, you can really see a lot more obese people in the stands at games in the U.S.

I know it's not scientific, but I think it might be one area to look at when comparing the health of the 2 countries.
