This. Canadians are plenty fat, OP. And their healthcare system is a complete sham.

Massively wrong. US obesity rate is currently 42+% and approaching nearly 50% in a few.years:

1. Poutine is not a national dish; it’s mostly popular in Quebec
2. I don’t think Canadians are noticeably skinnier than people from the US

Canada has far worse weather. Their diets aren't that much better and are pretty similar in many way. They eat lots of high fat foods, hell poutine is pretty much a national dish. So why is the obesity rate so much lower in Canada than the US?
