Obesity is increasing not only in England but in the whole developed world. You would be surprised to know that “Scotland is the second fattest nation in the developed world, behind America” and “Percentage of obese members of the population around the world, United States: 32.2, Scotland: 25.5, Mexico: 24.2, England: 22.5, Canada: 22.4, Greece: 21.9”. USA, UK, Canada are certainly among the economically wealthy countries where medical science is very advance and these countries spend millions of dollars on research. Literacy level of people is also very high as compared to most of the other nations on this planet. That means people are educated and understand what is right and healthy for them.
