A couple of years ago, in response to Canadians assuming we were in better shape than Americans, I posted statistics regarding obesity rates in this country. Our picture was far from grand. In Quebec in particular, the population smokes more than anyone in the country and exercises the least.
Once again, I remind about our rates here from the Heart and Stroke foundation.
Of course, naturally, we seek a top-bottom solution:
"The Canadian government should ban trans fat, introduce new standard nutrition labels for front-of-food packaging and launch a major public-awareness campaign to promote healthy food choices and physical activity, a House of Commons committee “shocked” by the increase in youth obesity says."

Me? I'm lean and in solid shape despite various injuries.
Meh.
