Jesus! Cut the crap! you wrote so many nonsense in this thread that I dont even know where to begin. Diabetes(especially type 2), high blood pressure.. and some other conditions that you named are primary caused by overweight, obesity
You obviously have problems with perception of obesity. Let me tell you, being fat is not normal. But I cant blame you, since two thirds of your people are obese. Are you saying all those people suffers from some underlaying medical condition?:freak: In USA, obesity, has become more a cultural or a social thing, thats why obesity rates are not the same throughout the country.
FYI, about 85% of us carry so called thrifty genes, which help us conserve energy and store fat and still there are hardly any obese people in my country.
Lastly, i've been in your country, i've seen how you people eat. Mega, jumbo portions of food avaliable everywhere you turn. You order a small or medium soda in theatre and the girls forces on you: "for only 50c more you get free refill!!" "no, tnx" i said. "But for only $5.75 you get free refil!" jesus, give me a small soda!!
And later we went to this burger place where they had this "3for1 burger deal" for like 5 bucks. I was expecting a EU McDonalds size burger- but holly crap!! I got this huge triple burger with min. 1000cal. Not only that! I got a BUCKET of soda. Not a cup- a BUCKET! like 2 liters of soda and I was like: "is this for all of us??" I've never seen anything like this.
