Mexico takes over from the U.S. as the fattest nation on earth, according to UN report
The U.S. has finally lost its dubious honour of having the world's highest number of overweight and obese people.
Fuelled by a worsening diet of fizzy drinks and cheap fast food restaurants, Mexico has now become the fattest nation in the world.
Around 70 per cent of Mexican adults are now overweight and a third of them are obese, causing a range of serious health problems. |
In order:
Mexico - 32.8 per cent
United States - 31.8 per cent
Syria - 31.6 per cent
Venezuela, Libya - 30.8 per cent
Trinidad & Tobago - 30.0 per cent
Vanuatu - 29.8 per cent
Iraq, Argentina - 29.4 per cent
Turkey - 29.3 per cent
Chile - 29.1 per cent
Czech Republic - 28.7 per cent
Lebanon - 28.2 per cent
New Zealand, Slovenia - 27.0 per cent
El Salvador - 26.9 per cent
Malta - 26.6 per cent
Panama, Antigua - 25.8 per cent
Israel - 25.5 per cent
Australia, Saint Vincent - 25.1 per cent
Dominica - 25.0 per cent
UK, Russia - 24.9 per cent
Hungary - 24.8 per cent |

I'm surprised by the number of middle eastern countries. It reminded me of this middle eastern Pizza Hut commercial which is hilarious. The family looks like the whitest Arabs ever and the pizza literally comes out of the kitchen on a magic carpet.  |

it hardly seems to make any difference, the difference in percentages is minimal between the uk and usa, only 8 percent.

| It's not really that Mexicans have gotten fatter. It's that all the Mexicans still slender enough to be mobile are now in the US doing the labor that Americans are now too fat to do. It plays with the percentages. |

Perhaps they measured all residents and not just citizens. |

| The Americans are still getting fatter. It's just that the Mexicans are getting there exponentially faster. |
