CHICAGO
— Long-term exposure to American culture may be hazardous to immigrants’
health. A new study found that obesity is relatively rare in the foreign-born
until they have lived in the United States — the land of drive-thrus,
remote controls, and double cheeseburgers — for more than ten years.
Only 8 percent of immigrants who had lived in the United
States for less than a year were obese, but that jumped to 19 percent among
those who had been here for at least 15 years. That compared with 22 percent
of US-born residents surveyed.
The study was published yesterday in the Journal of the American Medical
Association

Only place in the world were OVEREATING is a problem. Then I pick up a newspaper (figuratively speaking) and see starving children in africa and asia. During field trips I am surrounded by the starving native populace. Something is not right. The Americans I know would gladly give up some of their food and share, but I dont see any sharing going presently. Guess I dont know them anymore …
