Americans are not the fattest
The Maltese have overtaken the Americans in the obesity stakes. Bob England writes at Freedom's Trumpet:
That’s not to say that we’re not fat. There are 300 million of us milling about the country and most of us are doing so from the comfort of our automobiles, but according to this story from the very left leaning UK Guardian American fatness has been surpassed in Greece, GERMANY, Finland, Cyprus, Malta, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Seven European nations are fatter than we are. I shouldn’t gloat. I’m in that 67% figure that they quoted for the US and I am trying to lose the weight and follow a more Greek style of eating at the same time. Maybe that’s why the weight is so hard to lose. What they don’t tell you in that story is that a traditional Greek diet is among the healthiest of all diets, but these new figures could be coming from an increase in the consumption of fast food.
