I get down on Belgium and Belgians frequently. In all fairness, it's time to share a statistic that certainly puts them (and no doubt the rest of Europe) in a positive light, compared to the U.S.
In Belgium, only 46% of all trips under 2 miles are taken in a car. Care to guess what the percentage is in America? Higher. Higher.
Final answer: almost 96%.
Now compare the obesity rates between the two countries. If you've spent any time at all in Europe, you know how many fewer "large" folks there are here vice in America. It's not even close.
There is definitely something to be said about getting up on your hind legs and walking a bit.
