Also Western Europeans: Smokes weekly if not monthly and is on caloric deficit due to a "strict" diet. Has little concept of a balanced diet like an obese American.
Being skinny doesn't necessarily mean you're healthy. Skinny is just that: skinny - it's not really an indiction of good health. And if you smoke under the age of 35, no matter the reason, I can't take you seriously. Of course, if you're overweight that doesn't mean you're healthy (exceptions would be NFL players are overweight depending on position they play; sumo wrestlers are overweight).
For a region that's really struck by how "anti-science" Americans are, Wester Europeans sure do like to suck on cigarettes like they like to strip down for the camera if paid ("because no big deal") despite the consensus in (real) science saying smoking cigarettes literally is a detriment to your health every time nicotine enters your mouth and blood stream.
I understand if you're 40 or older given that was the norm growing up, and it's hard to bread the habit, but if you're 30 or younger and smoke - get the fuck outa my face when you're talking about "being serious about your health." At least most Americans who smoke don't proclaim to be "fit and healthy" for their jobs if it doesn't call for them to be thin.
I'll bet on the overweight American and within a year or two and with proper nutrition, movement and some God in their life, he'll be in a much better place than the Western European mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Give that now fit American a pint of beer and even a some pipe tobacco to smoke when it gets chilly and he'll be the most interesting man when stepping on European soil.
