Morbid obesity, Only across the pond?

Last time I was in the USA it looked sickeningly healthy. I went for a run at 6 am and got an inferiority complex from being the most out of-shape person trying to run down the Mall str.

During the 6 days I spent in Denver and Boulder if we do not count the state troopers (where being overweight is a professional disease), I saw in total 3 morbidly obese people. 2 of them were "non-local" from out of town waiting for a bus, the third one was working for how to say it... a non-US company.

So while Colorado is by no means indicative of the whole of USA most of Britain does not look any better than USA at the moment.
