Children in the UK are getting fat at twice the rate of their American counterparts.

More than 30 percent of British kids between 5 and 13 are already obese. Four years from now, the number is expected to reach a stunning 40 percent.

And it?s not just because of the fish and chips or other fried food. According to a study, British families among other things spend about $560 per year on candy and chocolate for their kids?roughly equivalent to 850 Mars bars, as compared with $225 on this side of the pond. The study also claims that British children also eat more sugary breakfast cereals and ice cream than American kids.
