dutch people at 106 !!! FTW!!!

(btw...strange i suspected america or england at the first place...(never heard of "Nauru" anyway : ))

w00t america isn't first! i know im part of that % that kept america from being first : people really need to start eating better

I would have expected us (USA) at first place. Given a look at the people usually in our grocery stores, you'd certainly think so. But 94.5 percent fat people in first place? That's ridiculous!

EDIT: I'm also part of the % of non-fat people in the USA :D

France at rank 128, well done France.

Surprise surprise the USA isn't first. But the first ranks are countries with small populations. It's alot more problematic in the USA where there is so many people.

I would have expected us (USA) at first place. Given a look at the people usually in our grocery stores, you'd certainly think so. But 94.5 percent fat people in first place? That's ridiculous!

but if you look it up....that country has only 13.000 people :

Ehh BMI index can be flawed. It doesn't work for people with muscles because muscle weighs more than fat.

I'm not saying America does not have some fat people, because we do. Another thing I don't understand is why people are so fat, it's not that hard to lose weight.

 

Another thing I don't understand is why people are so fat, it's not that hard to lose weight.

agree.....

im 1,80m

and im only 55 kg

that while i eat nearly 2 times as much as my sister, and she is fat......

i dont sport that much too...

Another thing I don't understand is why people are so fat, it's not that hard to lose weight.

1. Publicity. Very sneaky, did you notice they put lots of food publicity at around 9 Pm, when people are starting to become hungry again? And they put breakfast publicity, like McDonalds egg mcmuffin, so that the next morning people wake up and think to eat those things.. And people who work for those companies are really clever, they have a base in psychology and they know exactly what to do to make people want their product. And at TV, it's all unhealthy food publicity.

2. Easy access. Fast food at every corner of the street

3. Cheap. Where else than fast foods you can get something to eat for one dollar?

Women have naturally more fat and less muscle than guys, and they put weight more easily. The min healthy % of fat for a man is 2% while it is 10% for women. Not fair for women, they gain weight so much more easily and they have the thoughest beauty standards.

Well I'm not sure consider if you're muscular, would you be overweight?

Well I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I weigh around 150 pounds at age 14. I lift and exercise a lot so naturally, I'll be muscular. The only fatty part of my body are my theighs. My arms and calfs are full of muscle and bones but my theighs are where my McDonalds goes it. They're not huge, they're just not small.

Also, I'm sure the media plays a role in the 26% of Americans that arn't overweight. According to Hollywood, you have to be skinny to be sexy. :roll:

Not to mention you may not be overweight, and still have lots of fat that will make you look ugly in Hollywood's standards anyway. You gotta be borderline, or "underweight" in the BMI index to look "perfect".

Israel number 50 :-k

Well actually i can think of 2 main reasons for that

first, in Israel live a lot of jews. And us jews,as some of you know, are not the tallest nation (in fact the tallest jew living today is Jeff Goldblum) thus, this formula simpy doesnt work for jews, we are not fat,we are simply not tall enough.

The second reason is actually a good problem we have here in Israel, the size of women breasts. The sun,the humus and the fact that a lot of jews origins are from the milky lands of Rusia & Poland have an awesome effect on the cup sizes.

So there you go, Israel should have been in the 150-200 place but the fact there are lots of people here who are short with big breasts causes this distortion.

I think Ethiopia feels robbed of it's title.

Oh, and guys, this isn't the thread for bragging about how muscular or fit you are :| , especially when most of you have metabolisms fast enough to let you eat McDonalds every meal for a year and not gain weight.

Damn, I always thought America topped that chart.. :o

Damn, I always thought America topped that chart.. :o

It more or less does, seeing as how the ones beating it are pretty much all small, rich countries.

Still, the amount the world population focuses on the weight of our country just contributes to the American image as the "fattest country in the galaxy", even if it is partially true :-w .

hahah, they wern't kiddding about Nauru.

The reason why people are fat? Because humans will always seek out pleasure, and McDonald's food is pleasurable. Sure, go ahead and say McDonald's food sucks [wagon], we all know you are being hypocritical. :roll:

Losing weight is not easy, losing weight is the exact opposite of eating. If its not pleasurable and you have a weak constitution how long will you last exercising?

Seriously, think before you post. :wall:

I'm not fat, although the rest of my country may be.

Aw, they don't have a separate thing for Taiwan. Oh well...I'll use China instead.

148! W00T! And I used to be extremely underweight, now I'm only underweight. I was at a doctor's appointment and she was happy that she finally had a patient that wasn't overweight. :)

Haha, Aussie, we beat you! Finally.. Something to be proud of! :lol:

Supprised that Australia is above the UK, i always though of Australia as a healthy place to live.

It more or less does, seeing as how the ones beating it are pretty much all small, rich countries.

Tonga, Samoa and like aren't rich at all. Actually rather poor. It's their ethnicity that lets them down, the PI's are more susceptible to gaining weight.

I saw a documentary once of an Amerindians reserve somewhere in Ontario(Canada), and they had horrible horrible genetics, something like 98% of them were overweight or obese it's amazing(in a bad way) and they died young because of diabetes and high blood pressure, kids were lucky if they didn't have diabetes before 20 yrs old.

Want to know the reason those countries above the USA are fat?

I am not being a hypocrite when I say McDonald's food sucks. The last time I ate it was on a field trip in 8th grade (which puts it at about 8 years ago) and I threw it up.
