You got that backwards; the EU economy is larger than both the US and China.


The US economy is at least $2 trillion larger than the European Union's combined economy.

$19 to $19.5 trillion for the US, versus $16.5 to $17.5 for the EU (depending on your source, however they all universally agree the US is several trillion dollars larger).

And that of course is despite the EU having ~55% more people.

By that chart, China would also have overtaken the US.

Considering Brexit being the likely cause of the UK sagging, I wonder if Trump might be having a similar effect on the US.


Coca Cola® (63) vs White Rice (72). Higher is worse. By using that logic, chicken nuggets and Pizza Hut beat plain potatoes. Clearly not a good recipe for a healthy diet.


Both pizza and chicken nuggets are higher in fat and protein so don't spike insulin or blood glucose levels. The preservatives and additives make the Pizza Hut pizza and frozen chicken nuggets unhealthy for other reasons.

If you were making your own baked chicken nuggets or pizza from quality ingredients then they are definitely healthier than potatoes or white rice, assuming the calorie intake was the same.

This is counter-intuitive to most people because of all the misinformation around the benefits of a low-fat diet [1].
