Why are minorities more likely to be obese and have diseases?

They can't be the fattest because then they wouldn't be the happiest (I believe they won happiest people in world awhile back).  Sure there are happy fat people but I'd like to believe that most of them are depressed about their body yet not enough to actually do anything about it.  I guess they could be fat and smoke a lot of hash to stay happy.

They are not the fattest, but they're among the fattest. And "happiest" is necessarily a relative thing. If half of adults are overweight across Europe (EU, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland), then a country could still be marginally fatter than most of the others and still be happier - though perhaps not as happy as they could be.

Though I think Denmark is usually the happiest country. And keep in mind, this is with Rainbird living there. So again, they overcome their problems to still be happier than everyone else even though they would be happier if he left.
