I've lived in Europe, most of Europe is impoverished, especially when compared to our standard of living
37% of Spain is unemployed...ever make your way past Germany? Europe is comprised of many different nations at many different levels of wealth and prosperity.

so not being fat means what? That's my point why anecdotal nonsense isn't going to convince anyone of anything. You realize Europe has quite a few countries many would consider 3rd world right? also, not fat like the United States
Somalia
Uganda
North Korea
China
India
we can go on all day. We are fatter no doubt, part of that is prosperity. If you're skinny because you're starving and malnourished then congrats on your awesome BMI
This was all unnecessary. You didn't read what I wrote. I said:

I didn't say all European countries. Yikes man.
And I've lived in Austria, been to Germany, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Greece, Russia, etc. I've also been to most of the more western countries including the unemployed masses in Spain.

That's a shitty excuse. This country has had prosperity for generations and didn't have this obesity problem. We just had a big recession and the obesity went up, not down.

Especially when low income families are disproportionately fatter. In the states at least.

Also, Greece's economy is an absolute dumpster fire and they lead the world in childhood obesity. Spain, which you mentioned as being 37% unemployed, is close behind US in the rankings FWIW.
Prosperity as an excuse for obesity just doesn't hold water.
Of course there are extremes, like African starvation.
