I’ve seen other surveys claiming Mexico has taken the lead from us.

Does Mary Landrieu count as a country? Surely, she's big enough for her own zip code.

It would be interesting to see the male/female trends. I happen to think many women are more unhappy than ever because they’ve lost their way trying to compete with and be like men. Wonder if that translates into overeating as I believe women’s overall health has declined.

In 2003, the first time I went back to Việt Nam I saw only a tiny number of fat Vietnamese, only government workers and, of course, freigners.
By 2011 there were a couple of fat children in Cam Đự́c where I stay and too many fatsos in Sài Gòn though still not more than 10-15%. This year Sài Gòn looks like an American city of only a few years ago. Diabetes is also skyrocketing. It is not pretty.

Why rank by absolute numbers instead of by percentage of total population? A casual glance makes it look like our obesity rate is eight times the second place country. Notice with the numbers reported this way Australia and the UK don’t even make the top ten when I suspect their obesity percentage is close to ours.

I will spend a week or two overseas and the first thing I ask myself when I get off the airplane in the U.S. is “Where did all these fat people come from?”

18 posts in and no one's posted a photo of the first lady of the supposedly fattest nation?

When people like me are considered obsese, those numbers mean nothing.

It really isn’t that long ago that half of Ireland starved to death. I mpictures of starving children in Biafra from when I was a kid, which I still don’t know where that is, but they were starving. India never had it so well with 800 million people, but they don’t seem to be doing that bad right now.
What we have here are enviros who think that we are killing the earth by eating too much, and it is proof that humans are a cancer on the planet. Look at all the greedy fat humans! I refuse to complain about how we have revolutionized agriculture enough to overfeed a good percentage of the world’s population. It wasn’t that long ago that they told us we would be out of oil by now, and that the world couldn’t support 8 billion people. Also, the oceans are way overdue to be at least one foot deeper than they are right now. But doom and gloom are bread and butter for a lot of people.
Some day in the not too far off future, they will look back and see that this was the Golden Age, and we were already living in the Promised Land. By that time, the entire world will have been frightened into socialism.
