We do not have the fattest people in the world. This distinction is held by the country of Brazil! Remember 25 years ago when famine was the largest health threat to the worlds people and now the largest problem (literally and figuratively) is obesity! My how the times have changed.

We do not have the fattest people in the world. I believe I said we have the fattest POOR people. I meant fattest people in poverty. I've also heard it said that in the USA, the majority of people listed in 'poverty' have a car, TV, AND are fat. I'm certain they get far better health care also than the corresponding poverty members in other countries.
