Currently, about 31%, or about 59 million people, are obese, which is defined as roughly 30 or more pounds over a healthy weight. Almost 65% are either obese or overweight, 10 to 30 pounds over a healthy weight, which increases their chances of developing diabetes, heart disease, some types of cancer and a host of other health problems.

Even worse is child obesity - that is little different from child abuse.
Seriously... Europe is mild in comparison and it's not just a US problem.
About 25% of the people living in the Middle East are obese or overweight. In Japan obesity has risen by 100% among Japanese men since 1982.
Basically "Eat crap and look like crap"
