I saw a map the other day regarding US obesity from year 2000 on. (It might be in this thread for all I know, but I haven’t looked). At any rate, that’s an enormous problem. I couldn’t say whether the percentages are accurate, or anything else, but it’s got to have a crushing impact on their population and of course their healthcare system.
