- Jensson 4y agoYou said Europe is catching up, that requires Europe to increase obesity faster than USA. But to me it looks like USA is still growing fatter faster than Europe, so according to these graphs Europe will never catch up to American obesity levels. And it will take about 20 years for current Europe to catch up to todays US obesity levels, that isn't very quick either, 20 years is half a career, and at that point USA will be even worse. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Obesity_in_the_United_States.svg/1200px-Obesity_in_the_United_States.svg.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Ob...
- speedgoose 4y agoYou are right, I was told that we were catching up fast but looking at the data it’s not the case. Maybe Europe isn’t going to see office furnitures for morbidly obese people soon after all.
