[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know OP. Generally speaking, Americans are much fatter than other countries. [/quote]

Oh European are fat also. [/quote]

We're getting fatter, but nothing,  I mean nothing like Americans. US obesity rate is 36.2. The fattest country in Europe is UK at 27.8. Big difference.  [/quote]

Is it that big of a difference, honestly? When you take into account America's car dependence, greater racial diversity (at least in terms of the races that tend to be bigger), and fast food culture, I would personally expect the difference to be greater.  People get on this board and act like Europe has no fat people - the numbers tell a different story.[/quote]

Perhaps…

But Europeans are less likely to think being fat is acceptable.  They will call our their kids if they are overeating/putting on too much weight.  As where in US, parents are afraid of giving their kids eating disorders so they don’t say say anything.  Or they are fat themselves so it is acceptable [/quote]

Ok, well a quarter of the population is still obese so I'm not sure the shaming works as well as you think it does[/quote]

I'm not sure Europeans use the word "shaming".[/quote]
