      Europe consists of extreamly different countries… Breakfast in Sweden is completely different from breakfast in Italy.

      So not sure about what any european stats actually mean… Also tons of immigration from the middle east where people are not slim.

        Europe is fat because of immigrants? LOL

        Italy is the thinnest or one of the thinnest (depending on the year and the specific study) countries in Europe and it’s still too fat and getting fatter.

          I routinely see north Africans in my local Lidl buying half a cart of flour packets.

          Your diet being mainly refined carbs is not exactly good for being fit.

            There aren’t nearly enough MENA or sub-saharan african immigrants to explain Europe’s surging overweight- and obesity-rates. And IDK what kinds of people you are seeing, most MENA people I see here in Germany are thinner than the average German.

        Right. And Alabama and Massachusetts are basically the same place.

        It’s amazing to me how folks group states together.

          Alabama and Massachusetts are definitely a lot closer culturally than Sweden and Italy
