In all fairness, America is far from alone where an obesity problem is concerned. The UK is particularly horrific, and Australia actually now has the highest weight gains on the planet. But no doubt, the USA is way too fat. There are actually more people in the "obese" category now, than in the basic "overweight" category.

[@kellychuang8373]

Yeah because now obesity is really an epidemic compared when this Simpsons episode was made. There are many reasons 1 could be the dire straits schools are in and cost cutting budgets. There are others who knows?
