According to official statistics the inhabitants of Scotland are the second most obese in the 'developed' world, next to America.
Looks as though they are getting fat at the expense of the English taxpayers who subsidise them.

I'm surprised to see the Czechs so high up the table: when I was there, all the women looked like supermodels and the men were slimmer than rakes. Looks like consumer terror is finally catching up with them.

the developed world is overdeveloped if you ask me, i reckon anything over 10% is shameful. it must have a lot to do with tv and welfare payments, which are pretty scarce in the undeveloped worrld.

Perhaps if England had stolen oil from our chip pans rather our oil from the North Sea we wouldn't have this problem.

Thread title: The Obese Scotch?

Is this whiskey only for the obese or whiskey in a bulbous bottle?

I'm sure the 5% long term unemployed are enough in number to skew the national statistics.
