'In a group of nations from Greece to Germany, the proportion of overweight or obese men is higher than in the U.S. . . .'
'Among American adults, about two-thirds are overweight or obese; nearly one-third qualify as obese.'
Hmmm . . . didn't several years ago here in good 'ol USA, social engineering liberals and the NIH (National Institute of Health) reconfigure what qualifies Americans as 'overweight' and 'obese'? (NIH ratching the weight limits upward to include more americans as 'overweight' and 'obese'.)
Why, yes they did. Uh oh - that makes the 7-European countries percentages actually worse now doesn't it?

I think that I qualify as "overweight" based on the new guidelines that use the ratio of your weight to height. They dictate that I should weigh 185. I'm 6'3" and weigh about 205, and people still refer to me as "skinny".
