re: #148 Killgore Trout

My theory is it’s a combination of gluttonous consumerism which has become the core of American culture and we eat more processed food.

While it might be great to crow about this I can’t. I think it’s only a matter of time before Canada catches up to current US levels. Not sure if the study covers this at all but Canadians have been trending heavier, it’s just hasn’t happened as fast as it has in the US. It’s enough of trend though that it is considered a big issue here and alarm bells have been ringing for a few years now.
