HoustonChronicle.com - 15-nation study says U.S. teens more obese

"U.S. teens were more likely than those in other countries to eat fast food, snacks and sugary sodas, and were more likely to be driven to school and other activities, contributing to a more sedentary lifestyle, said co-author Mary Overpeck of the U.S. Maternal and Child Health Bureau. "

More reason to support José Bové!

BTW: the study puts US 15 year olds at 14-15% obese. The same age in France is 3-4% obese. I'm sorry to say that, here in France, the advent of 0% fat yogurts, sugarless drinks and, yes, fast food, will probably narrow that gap dramatically in the next few years.
