Real reason why Americans are fat

For those of you who watch what you eat,
here's the final word on nutrition and health. 
It's a relief to know the truth
after all those conflicting
nutritional studies.

1.   The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than
Americans.

2.  The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3.  The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4.  The Italians drink a lot of red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5.  The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like. 
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Amirite?!

“Obesity is rising rapidly, and Europe’s expanding waistline brings with it devastating consequences for public health and huge economic costs. Our continent is facing an obesity epidemic every bit as bad as the one in North America. I am particularly alarmed at the continued rise of overweight and obesity among school children”, said Commissioner Kyprianou. “The EU Platform for Action which we are launching today is Europe’s contribution to confronting this challenge. Business, civil society and government must work together to stem the rise of obesity among our children”.
