England probably more like America than the rest of Europe though

IMO car dependence in the (vast majority of the) US is a big factor that is hard to reverse, even if food improves. contributes to diabetes, too (not moving much after eating).

when i lived in the california suburbs and had to drive everywhere, my daily step count was regularly in the 2500 range (mostly walking from the office to the kitchen smh)... and i love to walk! but it just didn't make sense to walk anywhere, half the stroads didn't even have sidewalks and it was safer to drive.

everywhere else i've lived, i get 7500+ steps easily without even noticing.

They’re a few steps behind us is all, with some offset because they actually are better in other ways — more physical activity, for example 

People that want to blame US food for being uniquely bad have a personal responsibility issue 

It’s not MY fault im fat!!! 

Our food is made by global conglomerates by and large we all get roughly the same things t
