I figured it would be close, and that the U.K. would have the edge if there was any. Our fatties, who are mostly poor and living off the state, have flattened our increase in life expectancy.

For American white males, life expectancy is 76 and for American white females it is 81. Same as in the United Kingdom. Remind me again why I should eat my heart out.
