UK vs US ... .
I have just watched the coronation and when looking at the majority of thousands upon thousands of hopefully British public (I know it was a mix) people I couldn't help noticing that they weren't half as obese as the USA public that I sometimes see on US channels.Not sure if this is my imagination or not.
Has anyone else noticed this and if so what causes this?
I doubt it can only be the current fast food trade alone, maybe genetics?

Maybe my imagination?
You're right about obesity in the USA.
Too much fast food, sweetened drinks etc..
Nothing to do with genetics.
Probably life style related and poor diet.

I wasn't forced to though
You dont think it possibly could be that the Americans have a much more relaxed type of life with not doing much of anything physical?
Keep well.
In UK also plenty obese people. Coronation precipitants are mostly higher class crowd, so you can’t think that all in UK are slim and nicely dressed. Lol.
In addition to that they've had a fridge for nigh on 100 years. They're a generation ahead of us in terms of modern consumerism. It's fridges not friendships.. you know the fridge won't tell you it loves you and then run off with a buddy
I wasn't forced to though just these days I have quite a lot of time on my hands.

I did say "lifestyle".
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said Britain was the sixth-worst country in its 35 member states, coming behind Mexico, the USA, New Zealand, Finland and Australia.
Around 27 per cent of the population are now clinically obese and another 36 per cent are overweight, making the combined figure among the highest in the world.
You appear to make a habit of " bashing " the U.K. Think the last 3 blogs you made [ all deleted ] were with reference to our country and included a Diana bashing thread.
What next I wonder.
UK= active life style, healthy eating, more chemical free foods, genetics, smoking and drinking alcohol.
English is my fourth(4th) language. Yes, my English is not perfect, plus I talk with accent, but I hope not only perfect English speakers allowed be in here...
I don’t know Ukrainian though, but I think I might understand because I know other Slavic language, so knowing one you able to understand other that language branch languages...
I would never attack UK only because my closest family members are British.

Then older folk are not just forgetting, they have altzimers.
In fact older folk where looked up to because of their life knowledge, now we are a burden, unless of course we have to look after grand kids whilst parents work .
Yep from scrawnie starved past we wobble all over
How times change.
Short and sweet.
Thank you Kal.
One thing I hate and that is blatant disrespect from kids, some not even teenagers yet, for their parents and older people in general. It's actually not the kids fault but the parents. They are to blame but with today's lifestyle one can't really point a finger at anyone.

A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, “I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back.”
The room is quiet, and no one takes up the Texan’s offer. One man even leaves. Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. “Is your bet still good?” asks the Irishman.
The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses drinking them all back-to-back. The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement.
The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, “If ya don’t mind me askin’, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?”
The Irishman replies, “Oh…I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first”.
A man walks into a bar with a paper bag in his hand. He sits down and places the bag on the counter. The bartender walks up and asks what’s in the bag? The man reaches into the bag and pulls out a little man of about 12inches in height,and sets him on the counter. He reaches back into the bag and pulls out a small piano, setting on the counter as well. He reaches back into the bag and pulls out a tiny piano bench. The little man sits at the piano and starts playing a beautiful piece by Mozart. “ Where on earth did you get that,”asked the surprised bartender. The man responds by reaching into the paper bag. This time he pulls out a magic lamp. He hands it to the bartender and says, “ Here. Rub it.” So the bartender rubs the lamp ,and suddenly there’s a gust of smoke and a beautiful genie is standing before him. “ I will grant you one wish. But just one.” The bartender gets real excited and without hesitation he says, “ I want a million bucks.” A few moments later ,a duck walks into the bar. Another duck,then another soon follow it. Pretty soon the entire bar is filled with ducks and they keep coming. The bartender turns to the man and says,” You know, I think your genie is a little deaf. I asked for a million bucks not a million ducks.” The man replies” Do you really think that I asked for a 12 inch pianist?”

USUK.
The USUK flag implies in other words, disenfranchised.
