I think humans are designed to be fat because it takes 20 minutes for our body tell us were full and we prefer salty, fatty, meaty and sweet food.

More like we weren't designed to have constant access to food. That applies to animals too. Give them unfettered access to feed and eventually they will become fat.
Some animals find it harder to become fat, usually due to a limitation with their food source's nutrient content.
Unfortunately, we humans have a fairly efficient digestive system and a wide range of edible food.

I don't know about Burrito Pizza but Fajita Pizza is awesome and if you have ever had a Reuben Pizza, you will know that that is the king of all Pizza. Not all Americans are fat, the ratio of fat Americans has to be close to Brits with Brit mouth!

The UK has a subsidised dental system (most of the cost is covered by the government). The thing is that it doesn't usually cover cosmetic procedures (such as tooth whitening etc). What you in the US might consider to be "British teeth" is simply "teeth that have not been chemically and orthodontically altered to an unnaturally false level"... or as we call them "American teeth" 
Though I do not deny there are many who do not look after their teeth at all, especially in the poorer areas of the UK, as I am sure is the case in the US.

So orthodontics (braces say) are considered a cosmetic procedure? I've always thought of them as a health procedure to correct one's jaw, alignment and prevent complications/surgery down the road.

Braces can be done on the NHS and are free to children (those under the age of 18) and are charged at the standard rate for adults who require them (~£200 + I would imagine the cost of each appointment with an NHS dentist, which is about £16 depending on where you live). You can also pay more to have more expensive types of brace, or different colours of brace, etc... If you want braces as an adult for purely cosmetic reasons, rather than because you need them you may not be eligible for cover under the NHS and will have to go privately (which can vary from around £2-5k, though some types of braces and centres may be more). Plenty of information on NHS treatments for various conditions can be found here.
