Just found this interesting. I guess the US cant claim to be the fattest nation any more. Though I do believe the rise in american style fast food in europe has alot to do with it.
This place is full of tree-huggers and tofu fartn' faeries...

I don't think we can blame fast food anymore for diabetes and obesity. The lifestyles factors that cause obesity are a lack of excercise, stress, and a lack of knowledge for the actual problem. I'd laugh if Europe accused America of making them a heavier country.

Fast food is really popular only in UK.
In the rest of Europe the cause of obesity is because people eat bigger portions and don't exercise.
TV and Videogames doen't help in tempting kids to go out and play football either.
