Apparently Canadians are getting fatter over time and there are a ton of reasons why. According to Postmedia News in a March 3, 2011 Vancouver Sun article “Girth of a nation: Canada trails U.S. in obesity rates“:
“A new Statistics Canada survey found that between 2007 and 2009, 24.1 per cent of adults in Canada were obese. In that U.S., that number was 34.4 per cent.
The gap was widest for women: 23.9 per cent of Canadian women qualified as obese, compared to 36.2 per cent of American women. Of Canadian men, 24.3 per cent were obese, while 32.6 per cent of American men tipped the scales.”
