Eight in 10 English men 'will be too fat by 2020'


It's no secret to those who know me that I have an affinity for all things English, especially the good people of that nation. For years, my British friends have poked fun at us rotund Americans! Well, now the calories are swerving across the pond! Take a look at this snippet from Breitbart:

Eight out of 10 men and nearly seven out of 10 women in England will be too fat by 2020, according to new data released Wednesday.

Researchers said that while recent research showed obesity among children levelling off, instances among adults show no sign of doing the same.

Some 41 percent of men aged 20 to 65 will be obese by 2020, with 40 percent overweight, according to the figures from the National Heart Forum, based on data from the Health Survey for England. That makes a total of 81 percent.

Yeah, it's all the comfort food we eat during the nine months of the year when it's dark during the day and the weather stinks too much to go outside!
