I think it has something to do with Japanese cars supposedly being better than American.

But there is a growing body of science suggesting that excess weight alone is an independent risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.

The obesity epidemic is not exclusive to the US. It is, in fact, sweeping much of the world. Much of Europe and the UK are facing their own rapid growth in obesity rates.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T.
I actually don't even know where it actually came from, although I think it had to do with some African screwing a ****** monkey.
Which is.... disgusting.

True, but most of the UK is chill about it, instead of being like us Americans, and freaking out about it.

You can be rail thin and die from a heart attack. Many healthy athletes including marathon runners with metabolisms like hummingbirds have keeled over dead from a heart attack. It's a silent killer that doesn't discriminate.
