Study was commissioned by the National Institute of Health, an org. with absolutely no motive in hiring a PR agency to slant and push stories about the alarming American health crisis.
Come on. Overweight and bad food eaters, sure, generally, but this study relied on government statistics provided from two countries comparing different service delivery systems with articial cost structures and differing levels of accessiblity, based on a narrow demographic sliver ("white people" in their 50's and 60's) and relying on the diagnosis of doctors functioning under who knows how many different motives. This is transparent wire-service propanganda.
And to all the bashers of the obese, fast-fooding Americans: even with gas prices to match our waistlines, our economic productivity and efficiency flat out kick every other economy in the world's ass. Europeans lecturing about the efficacy of the workplace - now that's funny. And just wait until we start eating healthier.
