Italians rate themselves as happy and healthy, in part due to cultural norms like slower pace, connection to community, family culture, and a love of food.
Food seems to play a big part in Italians' health and happiness levels, as routinely measured and documented.
While the average weight of adults varies, in the US, 2017 rates of obesity ranged between 22 and 38 percent, while in Italy, the average range was below 20 percent.
Italians tend to weigh less on average than Americans, not because they count calories, but by choosing abundance over denial.
