Well if your health care wasn't so damn good she'd be dead!

Well, we've got 9th place in the top 10 fat countries, how come with all this eating disorder stuff on the news, and celebs doing cocaine all the time, we can only get 9.

Feel good about yourself U.S.A.? You shouldn't, because you had the chance to be #1, but just like the olsens twins hit show, THEY ****ED IT ALL UP! Lindsay Lohan and Paris aren't helping either. Kill those non-believers! FAST FOOD FTW!!

P.S. ( Anyone seen that episode of the boondocks where grandad has a resteraunt btw? )

Don't worry, all we have to do is say that Nauru are terrorists, and they'll be lower on the list before you know it!

War on terror FTW!

How the hell did a bunch of third world countries beat us? I mean you would think with so little money they wouldn't be able to buy the food to get fat. It's a mystery.

This list is meaningless because BMI is meaningless. I'm a 6'1, ~220lbs hockey (ex-AAA player) and rugby player (invited to All-Ontario team try-outs back in highschool), yet I have a BMI hovering in the high 20's.

Standards for determining obesity aren't as accurate as most people would like. Compared along the same lines as 'fat' people pretty much ever bodybuilder out there has a BMI above 30, meaning they'd also be considered obese. This doesn't take into account older people either, who are generally not as heavy as younger people, but have had much of their muscle replaced with fat.

A lot of the countries listed near the top of the list are in the Pacific region, and are home to people of generally shorter stance than many in the west, but with wide heavier frames. This throws the BMI for a loop, making these results seem kind of weird.

I'd still rank the US at the top of the list in terms of % of fat per capita.

Crap. We've lost our lead and Europe is gaining on us. I think we need to outlaw liposuction to turn the tide and regain the title.
