Jeez.. Only in America.
I was reading in a magazine I subscribe to, that some woman from England,
who had just moved to the states, wrote the editor and complained about

the
large serving sizes here in America,


...lady was exactly right, and not slamming "America". I think
there is something like 60% obese in this country now? Disgusting...


Latest statistics are about 65% are overweight; over 30% are obese. And the
problem is not just in this 'country', but applies to North America as a
whole.

health, and for my husband's eyesight grins


It should be noted that England has the fastest growth of obesity in Europe,
with 75% of the population overweight and over 20% obese. Their weight will
soon will catch up to the 'ugly Americans'.
