Europeans challenging U.S. in size
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- At least seven European countries now challenge the United States in size -- at least around the waistline.
In a group of nations from Greece to Germany, the proportion of overweight or obese men is higher than in the United States, experts said Tuesday in a major analysis of expanding girth on the European continent.
"The time when obesity was thought to be a problem on the other side of the Atlantic has gone by," said Mars Di Bartolomeo, Luxembourg's Minister of Health.
