how come our neighbors up north in Canada aren't anywhere near as fat as we are?

Wrong, poutine is popular across the entire country. It’s delicious and we love it!

DCUM has spoken. Poutine is not popular in Canada. This area is full of experts regarding international affairs.

I’m in western canada and poutine is my favourite food mmmmmm

I am from Quebec and I am not a poutine fan.

I had an American friend who ordered “poutain” once, and I almost died laughing. I had to teach her the proper way to say it.

Wow it doesn’t take much to make you laugh. Wait until you learn all the things the Quebecois mispronounce.

Do you even know what it means? Google it.

For the poster with a carrot up their butt (a Quebec saying for a tight ass) about “it doesn’t take much to make you laugh”, in Quebec slang “poutain” means slut/prostitute, so do not order poutine in that way when you are in Quebec.

They are just as fat as we are! What are you talking about? To be statistically significant there needs to be >5% difference.

For the love of God people, this has been addressed numerous times. US GOVT REPORTS 42+% OBESITY:

CANADIAN GOVT REPORTS AROUND 30% OBESITY:

Use better sources of info next time before spouting off.

There are tons of fat Canadians. Canada skews more Indian and Asian where the US has a large Black and Hispanic population that is statistically more likely to have higher obesity rates.

Portion sizes were normal, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and food was free of chemicals and additives. I felt full faster and healthier as food was natural and unprocessed.

Everyone is thin in Asia.

Definitely not. I can buy clothes in my size in Malaysia and the Philippines and I see Asian women there who are bigger than me. I am not thin. Malaysia and the Philippines are in Asia. Therefore, everyone is not thin in Asia.

Does 20% of their population eat fried Mexican food most days of the week?

No

Last I checked Vancouver is 50%+ Asian and Toronto is 30%+ Asian an SE Asian. They all cook at bring their lunches to work.

Just returned from two weeks in Europe. My gut health has magically improved, and I certainly indulged in anything I wanted to eat. Most of everything was fresh and locally grown. It was magnificent!

Our US government is slowly killing us.

Who prevents you to buy locally grown food in US? We only buy from local farms, including meat and dairy. I am European who live in Northern Virginia and there are plenty of good healthy food choices here. Additionally, we grow our vegetables and herbs during summer. I am 45 and I weight 49 kg.

You’re in America now, speak American.

My BMW is still set for km and celsius and my runs are measured in km. And my thermostat and oven are set in Celsius.

How many astronauts has the EU sent to the moon using metric?

Perhaps you're not aware, but the Apollo program used the metric system for their calculations.

Different demographics have different obesity rates.

That’s racist. Ick.

It's science.

So much about science and history is racist. It’s why leftists have developed their alternatives.
