Frankly, you are trendsetters, not the odd exception. You are just ahead of the curve, but the rest of the world is following you.

I am 44 and I am aghast at how fat some of the youngsters here in Czechia are. Middle-aged people are, too, much fatter than when I was young. This isn't a common grumbling of an aging person, the trend can be measured fairly well.

I am not sure how our public healthcare systems will cope 20-30 years down the line. Aging (greying) of the population plus chronic metabolic diseases caused by obesity, treatable but not yet curable, will be a double whammy.
