Obesity then.

All of the lol's were because if someone were to read just that sentence, it sounds like USians are good at getting cancer, and you wish that the Brits were as good at it.

And coke was certainly right about the US leading the way in obesity, and spreading the great concept across the world. |

Spreading obesity? Oh please. People who eat like pigs have themselves to blame, not America.

I blame America.
British food is absolutely disgusting, these people had been repressed for centuries. Introducing sugary sweet "fun-for-you" American foods to Britain was a cruel move by the capitalists. The British can't help but eat and eat and eat.
It is even worse than when the British introduced Opium to China.

Working woman increases the disposable income of a household which in turn drives up house prices as a household makes use of their disposable income

What drives up prices of houses is the desire to get rich and not do anything for it (other than buying a property using money banks created out of thin air, with the expectation of selling it for more), and the banks are milking it. Low interest rates, government subsidies all are supporting real estate costs at historic(and unreasonable) highs. You would have to be stupid not to get into this business! or not.

I love people who can't quite grasp how everyone doesn't fit in a statistic.
