I was having a discussion (ok, argument) with a relative in the States over health care, she was pissed that they were trying to get public health care down there (what if the Mexicans clog up the waiting rooms... seriously, that was an argument. WTF).
Anyway... she was trying to justify that their health costs are higher cause the average American is fatter. I told her maybe by a little, but not by much... or at least that's what I remember reading a while back.
Does anyone know where I can find a breakdown of population by BMI? As in: 40% in 20-25BMI, 30% in 25-30BMI; 30% in 30+BMI, or something along those lines?
