EU obesity rates with the UK at 26% and Netherlands at 11%. Italy is even better, so diet is obviously a key factor. http://www.dw.com/en/rising-eu-obesity-rings-alarm-bells-in-brussels/a-16821112 http://www.dw.com/en/rising-eu-obesity-rings-alarm-bells-in-... I've looked at obesity studies in the UK and the child focused ones look at the location of fast food restaurants close to schools. I've never seen a study that looks at obesity rates and examines the Local Authorities transport policies. Cambridge, Bristol and some parts of London are possibly good control groups. I know Bath has better health than the UK average, but 27% of people walk to work.
