Americana 'Fat' part one (1992 documentary with Jonathan Ross)

Jonathan Ross in the 3 part documentary 'Americana' from 1992, it explored the extremes of American culture from a poms point of view. This is the episode titled 'Fat' part one, this includes the drive thru supermarket. This is pretty funny stuff, that Jonathan is just so charming in his descriptions of the yanks lol.
I have the other epsiode titled 'Dumb' & have posted it on here also, but am missing the other episode titled 'Rich'

@Hermann2711 His tone throughout is quite amazingly vile - speaking like Americans are an entirely stupid and different breed - and I think actually his 'even Germany' says more about the English stereotype of Germans being 'Fat guys who drink lots of beer' than actual statistics.

Speaking as a Brit who saw this when it was aired, I'm now genuinely amazed at how relentlessly insulting this is - I don't think it could be aired at all over here now. If only because we're fat too!

Because Germany is the country with the highest number (and percentage?) of overweight people in Europe.

"American has a higher percentage of obese citizen than any other nation on earth ... even Germany." What is that supposed to mean? why Germany?
