Not sure we're alone. Take the UK, for example. 2/3 are either overweight or obese. Better than the US? Sure. But what a weak victory that is.

- nostrebored 5y agoI'm definitely biased by living in the southern hemisphere for almost half a decade. The places I've lived are visibly healthier than the US. People have less chronic health problems, take fewer sick days, etc.
- rootusrootus 5y agoI imagine a lot of that depends on where in the US you go. I live in an area that is statistically similar to Europe. If your idea of the US is south and east, it will be considerably different.
- nostrebored 5y agoI've lived in major cities in the southeast and the west coast. The west coast of the US is still extremely unhealthy. Learning how unhealthy the culture I grew up in is has been a gradual process. Shock moving to the west coast, and then shock at each of the subsequent moves around other parts of the world.
