The obesity explosion is not just a U.S. phenomenon. According to an
article in the L.A. times today, Australia is not far behind in second
place -- and catch up very fast.
In the USA, the obesity rate over the last ten years has gone from 22.4% to
26.0%
In Australia, it's gone from 8.7% to 20.8%.
Britain: 14.0% to 21.0%
Damien, watch out. At that rate, obesity will Spike and hit 100% between 10
and 20 years from now! At least you have plenty of room to spread -- much
more than the British.
Outward!
