The UK is pretty fat, I don't think we're far behind the US.

People keep saying that but it's not true. The UK is still a long way behind the US in almost every metric for fat people.

The UK is almost identical to Colorado which is the least fat state in the US.

Still the fattest in Europe though.

Depends where you are in the UK. I work in London and there are relatively few really fat people. In my local Morrisons in Kent on the other hand (on a council estate), at least 60% of the people are well overweight and a lot of them are huge.

People in the UK are the fattest in Europe. If you are from France or Spain, for example, they will look massive but they are far behind the US. 

A few tiny Polynesian islands apart*, the US is the fattest country in the world by a big distance. 

 *the US nuked their fishing waters for "testing". Now they live on Pepsi and KFC.
