Not a very high opinion of America huh? The truth is Obese people are more common in city environments which is just what people happen to hear about when they hear/read/watch anything about/on America. Truth is in suburbs and rural areas where a good porition of the country lives obeseity is not as a problem.
Texas and New York are among the biggest offenders. Ironically both also have some of the lowest test grades in the country..

That is not ironic, it's implicit when one is obese. People with high IQ's are almost without exception skinny or slim because of a healthier diet. Without a healthy diet, it is very hard to develop your intellect, and studies show that hamburgers are literally making people dumber and is the single most hated "meal" by the WHO. It may sound bogus to Americans to hear it, but it's actually true; obesity and lowered IQ go hand in hand, and a low attention span is also a part of the equation. Wonder why British and American channels have so many commercial breaks? Because people's attention span limits their capacity to watch an entire program without multiple breaks. The same thing is occurring in China and parts of Europe (Greece, Denmark, Germany).
