That would be "Why are the Yanks so fat?" to you and I.    This was the slogan used in Germany for a recent  Subway/Super Size Me joint advertising campaign.

With two days to spare, the October Surprise arrived Friday, but it was not the type either campaign had in mind. Instead, it was Americaâs most loathed enemy, injecting himself
