    Really? Interesting. One wonders if it has to do with all of the fat people here. I know, I’m a real detective. /s

    But I bet the higher heart disease follows to all the fat countries, a quickly expanding list. India is over 30% I think now, traditionally skinny. The UK, Aussies, Canadians, all fat, about 50% overweight. US is about 50% overweight in white people, men and woman about equal. East Asian Americans are rarely ever overweight, but black and hispanic woman especially have really high rates, the NIH breaks it all down by demographic.

    But there are a bunch of other countries getting overweight I think.
