If you look at US sizes vs UK sizes vs (say) Italian sizes, you'll see that this kind of thing goes on already!
These days, we have almost as big a percentage of obese people here in the UK as you do in the USA but a few years back a US size S (Small) would have been a UK M/L (Medium/Large) or an Italian XL (Extra Large)!
It is noticeable how big our clothing sizes have been getting, while the labels still say S, M (whatever).
