Under:The multiple burdens of malnutrition we are in "category C" Adult Obesity.
Also: "For example, in Quebec, Canada, all food advertising to children was banned in 1980, and the ban seems to have reduced the consumption of fast foods (Dhar and Baylis, 2011)."
Prevalence of obesity among adults (%) - 24.3% (high overall but low in North America)
