So it was refreshing to see that the Germans do not beat around the bush on the true cause of obesity for the majority of people, laziness. Per this news story they have found the link, less movement and activity + the same amount or more food = fat people.
And another depressing fact, I also found that the US has by far the highest % of the population with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or greater, which is the definition of obese. We come in at 34% and the next closest major country is Mexico at 26% and even cold as hell Russia is only 17%. Slightly depressing and the reason I ate salad for lunch today.

And the reason I eat salad for lunch everyday. Don't get old!!!
It's sad that the US is so obese; however, I am not surprised. In our world, obesity starts out at a young age. I have high school students who are struggling with body image and being healthy. There doesn't seem to be an easy solution.
