I too am not surprised. I still have a lot of family in Western Europe. They walk more, eat better, and weigh less. When we were there last year, no one thought twice about walking 30 minutes one way to public transportation - not the oldest with cancer, nor the youngest. They market almost daily for what they are going to eat that day or the next so fresh food, no preservatives and no pesticides (highly regulated), and everyone is fit (probably because of that previous two points). And with government health care, everyone gets the care they need without worry about the cost so there isn’t hesitation to go to the doctor when needed.
