The Fat Gap

Here’s one area Romania does not want to ‘catch up with the rest of the EU’ – obesity.

At the other end of the scale is my own country, the United Kingdom, where almost one in four women are obese (23.9%) and 22.1% of men.

I am no nutritionist so I can’t offer a scientific explanation as to why Romanians are in much better shape than Brits. But here are a few ideas.
