Belgium reportedly has the highest saturated fat intake in the world, which is 95 grams of fat per person per day. That includes every man, woman, and child. Ninety-five grams of fat is a little less than half of a cup or one stick of butter per day. According to the US government guidelines, people in Belgium should have a lower life expectancy. But in fact, the lifespan of most Belgians is 82.5 years, well above the European average and world averages. Belgium has a lower obesity rate than most of Europe.
