It's a generalisation, I know, but whenever I go to the States I'm still amazed at how fat the people are. Seems to me that the people who put counter-arguments are simply "in denial".

In the UK we have at last got a consciousness that too much food and too little exercise - both products of our wealth as a nation - are the real issues. We've still got a long way to go before we get as bad as the USA, but it is going to be a long, hard struggle to re-educate people into healthier lifestyles.
