America is leading the front, and labeled as the “fraying empire of obesity” along with not so flattering generalizations whenever a European news media mentions America. The US trended from “admired, imitated, or feared” to simply condescending.
It doesn’t help our image in that we are constantly fighting an obesity epidemic every day, every month, and every year without a show of progress.
