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

You are a troll. DCUM has spoken.

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.

Interesting. My teenage daughter had vomiting, diarrhea, and hives throughout her entire three-week stay in Spain. See how anecdotes work? That and confirmation bias.

Easily explained. Your daughter is MAGA and didn't wear a mask on the plane and caught COVID.

What does demographics have to do with this?

Fewer people of African and Hispanic ancestry, who are more likely to be obese

Have you been to the South??

They are now in Ottawa, Ontario. I just came from there, and I was surprised how many obese people and kids were there. Morbidly obese. I do not remember that in the 2000s, there were that many obese kids and adults.

This is make believe.

EU operates under the precautionary principle, which lowers the bar beyond what is science based or reasonable.

It starts in childhood. Only in America do kids need to stop for a junk food break in the middle of every activity. There’s always a dumb signup genius list for parents if the snack isn’t provided directly by the activity organizer. All other countries have kids able to just play a game of sport for an hour without a junk break. Ask any immigrant. Junk food and snack culture is completely out of control here. We need to say no. We need to re-teach kids to play a game of sport for a couple hours or do a grocery store run without needing to stuff their faces.

Canada might be skinnier but you're also still living in Canada.

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.

Not we, you. I raised two kids in America. None of them eat snacks. We never packed snacks for road trips (and we did a lot of them when they were younger, including Outer Banks, Maine, Niagara Falls, and Florida). No snacks during sport practice. My kids never ate those ugly cakes at birthdays parties. Kids very often copy habits of their parents.

I came back from a country in Asia recently. I did not see any obese people there.

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.
