I don't know who downvoted you, but I don't disagree with you. As mentioned, there are homeless, fat people, and violence in Europe.

This is not about whether these things exist or don't exit at some place, they exist everywhere in the world.

The difference is just the quantity, how often, how many, how much fatter.

Everybody I know that grew up in Europe and has traveled to or lived in the US found the difference in quantity "shocking".
