You know I didn’t know the US had a billion people. lol at least that’s what you’d think from all shit talkers online that all obese people are from the US.

You can either live in-the-US or not-in-the-US. Either way it's the US

We started exporting our obesity. I remember reading about Australia having a growing obesity problem. A lot of the world loves KFC, other fast food, and sugar infused everything. The bucket of chicken is more iconic to see. Especially when they get sold as an "American Meal" combo.
