the pattern you talk of--eating out, booze and beer, too many pizzas, and no exercise--is also a problem for the more affluent.

The American diet of high fat and carbs is ingrained from an early age. My friends from other countries can't believe the huge servings in restaurants here.

The lifestyle is definitely a problem.
