Americans are way fatter from what I've seen. There are fat people in Canada but nowhere near as common. Also the serving portions between the two countries is a huge difference. 

Both countries are in the top 25 fattest with a 5% difference in obesity.  Most US states are actually below the Canadian national average.  The US has a wide disparity, mostly related to poverty.  

On topic, eh.  Give poor states like Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana to Canada and their health-care system wouldn't make much of a difference.  These 1-to-1 comparisons sound great but they never tell the whole story, especially when dealing with a huge and diverse population.
