It's not just being in a first world country but the specific country you are in. I used to wonder why Americans had such an obesity problem but after visiting various states it became clear that culture and the environment around you makes all the difference.

You’re taking it out of context. I highly doubt Penn would say it as you’re taking it. In the context he’s talking about weight related health.

I actually provided the context. It's just a silly thing to say, what ever the context.

Overall, it's great to be born in and live in a rich country. But as someone with 100lbs to lose, I would absolutely be much better off if inexpensive sugary food was more difficult to find.
