United Kingdom and United States 'keenest on fast food'

The UK is the country most attached to fast food, closely followed by the United States, a survey has suggested.

A poll of 9,000 people in 13 nations, alongside a BBC investigation into global obesity, found vast variations in attitudes towards food and weight.
Few people blamed their government for rising levels of obesity: the largest number of respondents blamed the food that was now available. People in the UK and the US were the most likely to nominate "no self discipline"as the leading factor in obesity.

These two nations also had the most respondents who said they would be unable to give up fast food.
