(1) American Samoa, 93.5% (of the population that is overweight)
It’s a staggering number. Many Pacific Island nations have had trouble with weight in modern times mostly because they have abandoned their traditional foods for cheap, easily attained processed foods from the West. Perhaps no other Pacific Island has had such access to these habits as American Samoa.

(2) Kiribati, 81.5%
Like American Samoa, Kiribati has been flooded with processed foods like Spam and mutton flaps (fatty sheep scraps), often sold at lower prices than native food.

(3) U.S.A., 66.7%
Well, the U.S.A. doesn’t top the list, but it’s close, and it falls behind only a small islands nation and one of its own unincorporated territories. The United States of Processed food, high fructose corn syrup and fast food has been high on this list over the last half century.

(4) Germany, 66.5%
The fattest country in Europe no doubt owes their portly woes to lots of beer, fatty foods and inactivity.

(5) Egypt, 66%
Obesity among Egyptian women is particularly high, often attributed to cultural taboos on women exercising or playing sports.

(6) Bosnia-Herzegovina, 62.9%
Once considered a problem only in high-income countries, obesity is dramatically on the rise in low- and middle-income countries like Bosnia-Herzegovina, where smoking, drinking and eating unhealthy foods spiked during the war that ravaged the country from 1992 to 1995.

(7) New Zealand, 62.7%
Obesity is a growing concern for New Zealand. While its native Maori have struggled with weight due to loss of traditional culture like other Pacific Islanders– they are mostly just a scapegoat. New Zealand’s entire population is getting fatter at a rapidly increased rate.

(8) Israel, 61.9%
In the past 30 years, the number of obese Israelis has tripled, evidence the country is truly part of the Western world.

(9) Croatia, 61.4%
Croatia, where cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, is also a victim of the globalization of the food market, which tends to suppress traditional diets as cheaper processed foods from the U.S. and Europe flood store shelves.

(10) United Kingdom, 61%
A recent survey ranked Brits among the bottom third of European nations in physical exercise, leading Health Secretary Andy Burnham to comment, “We’re really in danger of being known as the best in the world for watching sport, but one of the worst for getting out there and doing it for ourselves.”

x2 It's gettin worse, nobody seems to have dignity anymore. It used to be the Chav girls that were disgusting to look at. Now it's every other girl in the street.

You ever notice how "Nuts" "Page 3" "FHM" etc.....always focus on the breasts. You literally never see a shot of the girl from the back, showing the ass.

Seems like the UK hasn't quite caught onto the "Thick legs with nice ass" trend I'm seeing in the US.

It's all "Big jugs" and bawdy "Carry On" films

 3. Mexico

 Australia overtook the USA as most obese country and it was big news. Now Australia isn't on this list? I think this list is bullshit. Is it like 20 years old?

Many New York girls, particullary in Manhattan are absolutely stunning 8) And yes they are quite a bit thinner than girls elsewhere in the USA. Me thinks it's because there's lots of money in Manhattan for these gorgeous females to get ie. find a wealthy man. But even many of the women who don't land the rich man are still quite nice ;D I remember seeing quite a few black females with ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL BODIES, very nice and slim waists and very round and toned bubble butts WOW!

Virtually eveyone I know who travels from here, Canada, to the US, is amazed by the huge portions of food served in restaurants down there. I'd assume massive portion size plays a large part in the obesity epidemic in the US.

Yes this is definitely a part of it.  We also tend to focus on treating the symptoms rather than the cause, as if obesity is some sort of disease, which I think is a very backwards approach.  For example there is all sorts of research on "how much physical activity obese people perform" or "how does being obese predispose you to knee OA" and things of that nature, which I don't really see the point of and seems like a waste of federal funding to me.

I notice labeling rules are different in Canada too.  For example in Canada they can't label skim milk as "Fat Free Skim Milk" like in the US, they have to call it "0.1% Milk".

Most of these girls are enhanced by good fashion, make-up etc...there are plenty of good looking chicks in Manhattan but keep in mind alot of them are from other states here for work or other countries. Euro girls are top notch with the natural titties, slim bodies and perfect facial features..asses lack but the rest of it makes up for that.

What's the most standard fat percentage of milk over there and in the US btw?

USA and Canada both have:

"Skim" which is close to 0%
1%
2%
"Whole" which is I think 3%

The % refers to the percent that is butterfat by mass (I think).

dude thats because when you eat out in canada the food costs more, and you get far less of it than in the US. i went to buffalo this weekend and i couldnt believe the amount of food they gave in one serving- and it was cheap! no wonder obesity is rampant there.

thats my opinion anyway.

Things are a bit more expensive, yes.  Some of this is the exchange rate but it's pretty close to 1.0 right now.

I'm an Australian living in Germany. I'm surprised Australia is not on that list. I see very very few fatties here compared to back home. There are some, sure, but when you think Germany has a population of 80million, and Oz a quarter of that, there seem to be proportionally less overweight people here.

Unless they're all hiding in some far flung ex communist corner somewhere.

The biggest football stadium in my hometown in Australia had to replace all the seats a few years back because the fatasses weren't fitting anymore. That's a bit of an indictment I'd say.

I remember when I was a teenager they had the thing called the "McLean" which was supposed to be a healthier Big Mac.  It wasn't around long.

The McLean used 91% lean ground beef and also included Carrageenan, which is evidently a sexual lubricant.
