[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An American Londoner here, have done many road trips to “off the beaten path” UK/EU. I disagree that people are “just as overweight” than Americans. It’s true that people outside top tier cities are more overweight, similar to the US. Especially in the U.K. and Germany. But, as the overall lifestyle here is more dense and compact it’s not as common to see grossly overweight people as it is in America. I also think there stricter EU rules and in general more pride in local regional foods also contributes a keeping populations smaller than Americans. [/quote] +1 I'm an American now, but originally from the UK. There all Americans are considered "fat" in fact there's the term often used in conversation, even polite, educated conversation "Fat Americans". It's unfortunate. I know the tables have turned and obesity is on the rise in Europe but it started here and it made a visual impact early on. [/quote]
