According to WHOWorld Health Organization Americans are the fattest people in the world. 55% of women and 63% of men over 25 are overweight or obese. “Compared to Europeans, Americans eat all the time” writes Joanna Coles, a British correspondent for the Guardian “At the hairdressers, in their cars, during colleges lectures, at the cinema ,where they arrive clutching monster buckets of pop-corn, Doberman sized hot-dogs and containers(!) of diet Pepsi”

Though America is the world leader in obesity ,Europe is quickly catching up. According to WHO ,almost one-third of people living in the European Union are now overweight and one in 10 is obese. 20% of women and 17% of men in Britain is obese. And the English are fatter than Scots or Welsh! Russia, the Czech Republic and Finland also have some of the heaviest peole in Europe. Among the French ,Italians and Swedish the number of overweight people is dramatically rising.

We live in the era of fast food culture. We are always in a hurry. We have no time to relax and enjoy a meal. We want to eat now and we want to eat fast. Every day a new McDonald”s restaurant opens somewhere on our planet. Another reason is a lack of exercise. We spend too much time in front of our computers and TV sets. We walk less. because we prefer to use cars or public transport
