Obesity is now up to 1 in every 3 people is obese.
In another 10 years it could be 2 out of every 3 people is obese.

Combine that with abysmal scores in education standards compared to the rest of the world and that is "exceptional".

Could the two be linked? Are obese people less able to learn or are those who are less able to learn more likely to be obese?

poor people are often more likely to be obese cus they're on foodstamps (perhaps..not always) and so they use potatoes and rice and they spread out the meal for family by adding the creamed soups and yada yada...a meal to stick to the ribs and fill bellies of all, but full of starch.
