Bite your tongue, obesity in Britain is growing at a much faster rate
than in the US.  Not that most British look the picture of health
anyway. ;-)

"Obesity levels have risen sharply in the past 20 years in many
countries with the number of overweight people growing fastest in
Britain, the United States and Australia, an OECD report warned."

"The report by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development
said in two decades obesity had doubled in the United States and
Australia, while in Britain the rate had tripled."

"Twenty percent of the adult population in both Australia and Britain is
now regarded as officially overweight, the same percentage of US
citizens considered obese at the beginning of the 1990s."

Looks like Britain is the most obese country in Europe.
