How on earth are we worse than Americans

true

I no longer take such information seriously....we seem to be worse at everything....violent crimes, HIV infections, inequalities, health, name it....we are worse at it...

Haskaaaa!!!

That’s why we are out here selling Herbalife did you guys think we were stupid? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Seriously I thought it was america

Yerrr

From last month it looks like we are now coming last in everything? Interesting

People cannot afford healthy food!

That's a lie

Im trying to think of someone to blame if this is true. Kambe who are our usual escape goats - Zuma😅... Eskom, ya!!!😉... load shedding basturds😑... this is Eskoms fault. Load shedding depresses South Africans, so they eat left overs😒... as stupid as these stats are though

Uhmm.. Someone's got their facts all wrong. Always thought it was America... Isn't it?

The problem is hygienic is lacking in all supermarkets,restaurants, etc

With so many health freaks like 🙆🏾‍♂️

Maybe they are referring to the Afrikaners & Blessers

Waahhh global ranking? What’s the criteria used for this ranking? Can we atleast see that or the research In the whole world I refuse to believe this!! We’re being bullied😥!

Life insurance companies nightmare.

Same applies with this picture SA White Skwatta Camps, ko kae? Ke mzansi omo feng o

The reason is because we have to get take outs every time we have flippen loadshedding!!!!

No flippen ways after what we see day in and day on drive ins dinners and dives no ways

A fat lie

We are so embracing big bellies... I am not surprised.Bare ke 'JoJo' tank.

There element of lie here, it can't be.

This is likely to be rubbish, based on my work in this arena. But what a poor report parroting an overseas study with no methodology, sample size or any useful details. No sources. Journalism lite.

I bet that includes mental health , rape being a serious indicator

This is lie serious.

No surprises lapho

Flawed.

They even have jingles for R5 chips and magwinya in Jozi downtown 😂

With America still around though, I don’t believe this.

Nonsense

With an American obese man in the picture

No wonder most of their girls got big ass

I'm not surprise.

Lorrain68107985 look

Whoever did this research has obviously not watched any of the Andrew Zimmern shows!

Sad. More needs to be done on health education

America is shifting the goal post now. They up to something now. They want to introduce healthy drugs systems through pharmaceutical programs. Watch the space.

I fully agree!

Its because healthy products are expensive.. We cant afford..

Would that refer to physical and mental health?

Something doesn’t ring true here...I wonder who benefits from these results.

You see, you shouldn't have stopped the morning walks

True

They must build well equipped public gyms

That's scary....

SA is the only country which sells Kota

Little Americans have finally won...

BS

I beg to differ, what about America?

You know why, it's the bad food that has been processed to cause diseases from these grocery shops.

Eish, re bolaisa ke bo Khulubuse!
