Fascinating facts can be gleaned from the world’s census data. Americans have annually been drinking over 23 gallons per capita of bottled water, (which isn’t fattening), in other words a statistically higher ‘share-of-bladder’ than their consumption of beer, (which is). This may partly explain why the obesity-gap between Americans and Australians, Britons, Greeks, New Zealanders and Mexicans is closing. Maybe those nations, too, are aiming at the 64 days a year that Americans spend sitting watching TV. But wait! When US citizens do get up off the couch, it turns out to be a dangerous world out there. Bicycles are the US consumer product most likely to be involved in accidents, but lawnmowers and …beds (!!) follow close behind. Risky thing, leisure time….
