As an European I'm interest in knowing why is obesity so prevalent in the USA and, as stated by the OP, in Canada... I'm just curious? Is it processed food? Social acceptance? I'm not here to fat shame or anything, I'll treat obesity as a medical condition and nothing else, and as with always patient blaming is an idea I don't accept.

There are some things the US has better though, for example they smoke less than Europe particularly France.
