Why do they mention only the country with the _second_ lowest obesity rate?
Probably because some insignificant (read: small) country has the lowest rate. It's easier to make comparisons when the population size is in the same order of magnitude.

I remember my vacation in the states (in the South). I got served a absolutely massive glass of coca-cola with my dinner. When I had finally managed to finish it a waiter came and refilled the bloody thing when I wasn't paying attention. How can you enjoy your meal with that much to drink?

Is it just me who's thinking that individuals in modern societies are not capable anymore of making meaningful decisions, including how much to drink? We're sacrificing freedom here because we became incapable. That scares me.

French (expat) here, can't remember ever seeing any when I lived in France. Have I always been at the wrong restaurants?

Sure, it's a developing country but so is Bulgaria, which is both less developed and has a considerably higher rate of obesity.
