Obesity/being overweight is a personal choice of a majority of Americans. As weight goes up all regions of the brain go down. DIDJA KNOW?

Some stats show that 42% of Americans are obese and 73% are overweight.

Checking this out worldwide the latest stats I found are as follow:

OBESE CHILDREN

China 28 million    Population of the country is 1.398 BILLION
US     13 million    Population 328.2 million
India    7.5 million  Population 1.366 BILLION
Brazil   5.2 million  Population  211 million
Mexico 5.1 million  Population 127.6 million

Obese parents have obese children
Overweight parents have overweight children

Obese/overweight affects the brain negatively

"The brain prefrontal cortex....an area important for complex thinking, planning and self-control, is LESS ACTIVE in people who tend to overeat."

"Obesity alters blood supply to the brain and tend to SHRINK it."

Which would explain why GUANO is so adored by so many millions. Wouldn't it?
