Are Europeans aware of the ongoing cholesterol problem on the continent?

I visited England, Scotland, Germany, Norway, Italy, Sweden, Poland, and the Netherlands and I was shocked by how out of shape many people were.

Is it the sausages, pasta, meatballs, fish n chips, haggis, dumplings, cheeses, and countless desserts?

Spain, Belgium and even France (Famed for their good health) had their share of obesity. 😞🤷

Is alcohol (especially to excess) and snacks after dark, also a culprit?

Obesity has been a growing problem for years. Have a look at old photos Pre 1980 and you'll see very few obese people in them compared to today.

There's been numerous campaigns but people are stubborn and don't like the government telling them to have a salad.

Maybe our region has been faring better than others, but I have exactly one fat colleague. I had two, but the other changed his ways and dropped 100 pounds. 🤷‍♂️
