On another note, I have noticed that Europe is pretty close to North America when it comes to the size of the people.
When I stayed in Germany for 6 weeks in 2000 working for my company and the German Air Force, I gained 20 pounds, most of which was beer!........ Now I know what Bier Gut means!........(Pun in two lanuages!).......
Really? I was in Denmark last week and was impressed with how few fatties I saw. The difference between there here was distinct. Course this was Copenhagen, where everybody rides bicycles. Maybe other parts of the country are different.
