[quote=Anonymous][quote]...interest in sports has no effect on the overall obesity statistics in those countries, which are worse off than many other developed countries withOUT such an athletic emphasis.[/quote] I have no statistics to support this, just anecdotal knowledge of my own friends, relatives, and acquaintances, but in general, the people who are obese are not the same people who are sports participants. People I knew who participated in sports in high school and/or college thirty plus years ago tend to not be obese today, particularly those who remain active today (even just walkers or hikers). So, I would hypothesize that if someone did a study, they are likely to find that sports participants tend to not end up obese. [/quote]
