My Swiss grandfather smoked a pipe, but we only saw each other once a year, so I took it up myself so I could enjoy the aroma more often.

Back to the topic, I was really surprised at that article, and wonder whether the definition of "obese" has been changed somewhere between the before and after statistics (stranger things have happened).

One of the things Mrs Texaner commented on after she visited CH for the first time last year was that she didn't see hardly any fat people, compared to in the US (where they're everywhere). Was she just sheltered somehow, or does one really observe so many fat people in Suisse, and we just managed to miss them all?
