    I think heart disease is up there for most of the world. India has a huge problem and huge population. Most western countries have similar diets to the USA, albeit not as bad with less obesity but still much more than precious generations.

    The zeitgeist on here is that Europeans and Japanese people eat perfect diets. Yes. Italians turn their nose up at crap pasta. There is still fast food everywhere just not like the levels in the USA.

    Germany pretty much eats it’s body weight in kebabs. France adds butter and cream to everything to bring joy. England is even more industrial than most of the USA with the diets to match. These are not necessarily bad things. I love butter and cream too, but we need to be realistic and accurate when looking at health outcomes and risk factors.

    Sure, there is more good quality food and ingredients and less fast food and less obesity, but the trajectory is in the wrong direction.

    Heart disease is a problem worldwide. And a growing one. With aging populations, it’s gonna continue to get worse.
