   Looks a bit short on African, Asian and Latin American statistics.

   How did they come up with these stats? Who did the studies and how?

   If this chart does not say it all.. It's the marketing in America that is creating much of the obesity!

   It's a cool chart, but yeah, there are a lot of countries missing, including some REALLY big population ones like Red China, India, and Russia.

   We want more!

    The difference between America and Canada astounded me at first, but then I remembered how many US novelties never make it to Canadian grocers. Good times. I love taking my gut on holiday to the States.

    If you think that is bad, check out Nauru, which clocks in at an astounding 94.5%!

    Tonga and Samoa are almost as bad.

    How are so few people in Italy obese, with all that pasta, cheese, etc..?

    Well, I'd be thinking it would be difficult to be obese in countries in Africa? o.o General lack of transportation other than by foot, malnutrition and undernutrition.

    Probably the third world countries didn't make it.

    Heres a random theory on why americans are fat:
    1. Excersise - we drive EVERYWHERE and barely walk anymore.
    2. Heathy food is "too" expensive. want to eat right? expect to pay 3-4 times as much for anything considered "heathy". blueberries used to be the same price as any other fruit. Now that scientists say they're full of "anti-thisnthat" they cost 4 times as much. Mcdonalds on the otherhand....cheap!
    3. Less disease/infection = Heathier systems = more weightgain. Sure.. you don't have harmful parasites living in your gut...but less mouths to feed, mean more calories for you!
    4. "purified" foods. WE've taken all the "nonsense" like fiber, and other neccicary undigestables out of food so we get maxiumum bang4buck.
    5. Cornsyrup and flour. Good luck avoiding these food fillers. They're in EVERYTHING. I sometimes wonder what % of my daily intake is corn syrup or Flour.

    Hard to believe France (all those rich sauces) and Italy (all that pasta) are only 9%.
