Well... If that's the case. Watch out America! 😯

@Quizzical Yeah and we have an obesity issue too.

@Burnley123 I'm not worried in the slightest.

You find when you ARE overweight (as I am) that the medical fraternity blame anything and everything upon your weight.

After a while it becomes obvious they are pretty much reading from a 'script', lol

@Quizzical you know, it's a myth that Americans are fatter than European countries. yes, we have more fat people, but we also have more people of all sizes. we just have more people as a nation. ratio-wise, it's not that much different. that being said, we may have some of [i]the fattest[/i] people in the world, but the heaviest of those aren't as common as some might think. i'm not even sure if that's true, but it probably is true.

@pentacorn Just a little sterotype fun xx

After all, Brits have the healthiest teeth in the world, but that doesn't stop the yanks from ripping on us about them all the time 😋

@pentacorn Amerifats really are fatter - but europoors are also fat.

Compare this with SK’s 3% obesity rate, for example of a country that isn’t.

@Quizzical ah, i see... big greasy cheeseburgers and all. 😛

;) i'm sure it's true, about y'all having the "healthiest teeth in the world". everyone looks great in all the British programming i consume. 😁

@QuixoticSoul Everyone wasvacting on the assumption that 3% max of the infected die. If these stats are true then its millions, not hundred tbiusands who are at risk.

@QuixoticSoul we're on about the same level, generally, with both overindulgence types and health nuts. we've all got the choice! other countries have culture, or impoverishment, keeping them svelte.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@pentacorn SK is not impoverished, so it’s definitely culture.

But it’s not really the same between us and Euros. Amerifats are [i]way[/i] fatter.

pentacorn · F

@QuixoticSoul it's probably the influx of other nearby cultures making Euros look better. ;)

@QuixoticSoul if these new figures are true in spain, then surely there is a real danger of millions dying in america?

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@Burnley123 Let's hope not.
