In the Feb. 7 issue, I referred you to a video about obesity. Following are some facts about obesity that I’ve found since then. Not necessarily surprising, but nonetheless edifying:
* About 30% of the populations of the US, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain are obese.
* The populations of Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden, and the Netherlands are less fat, with 20% of the population measuring as obese.
* In Japan, obesity is rare. Less than 4% of the population is obese.
