It's easy for the French to lose weight. All they have to do is see a German on the border and they lose 20 pounds...all of it brown.
Fat idiots that only play Call of Duty and Halo the whole day
They probably kill random people in the world because they look better than those fat US Idiots.

japanese are thin but never uses it because prefare anime girl
Hah, of course. So was the other one old? or faulty data?
The girl in the pic's kinda cute. I wanna give her a hug =D =3
Well...what do people really expect? America has hundreds of fast food restaurants in every city. I can walk outside my house and across the street there's a Carls Jr! I kid you not! It's fairly depressing.
So? You are not obliged to go there.
good to know america keeps the status as number one
Long live blubber!
Damn... America decided to pack on extra weight because of pride... we don't need to be #1 at everything...
"mcdonald's, mcdonald's, kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut!!"
Ah so the US, Mexico, Canada and Brazil are number one again after all huh. Who would have thunk?
Still using Body Mass Index measurement, therefore the study is invalid.
I am I am dissapoint.
I acutually thought we might have actually came in second to something we didn't need to win. Oh well I guess were boned for another year.
Two or three people were obviously on holidays during the last one.
We're number one! We're number one!~
Hew, that other post about us droping down to number 2 had me worried. Fuck yeah! America Number 1!
America is a continent not a country, fuking fat gringos...
I'll admit calling the USA America is incorrect as it's actually two continents.
My big gripe with this story is the use of junk science to represent obesity.
Arnold Schwarzenegger for example has a high BMI esp when he was a professional body builder but would you call him fat?
Most body builders during competition have 6% or less body fat.
America is common shorthand for the United States of America. The other more common shorthand is USA. Among citizens, likely since citizens of the nation are known as Americans, often refer to their country as America. It is not intended as disrespect nor is it a sign of ignorance to the existence of the continents of North American and South America, it is merely taking the country's name and removing the first three words. I can understand how this might seem odd to foreigners, but it is common practice in the states.
I'm sorry, we were too busy trying to pretend none of the garbage lands located to the south of us exist to give a damn what you think about what we call our country.
america... bad looser
FUCK YOU ALL!!
Who cares.... next headline plz.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO at lasssssssssssss wee ware nomber 1 at somthinggggggggggggggg nnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooo
That girl is cute :3
2D fat girls > 3D fat girls
Its all about availability. Most healthy food over in the states is expensive and far out of reach. The cheapest and most "filling" and readily available foods here are fast food. Im an american and proud to be one but this is something we cant debate or deny, we must fix this!
slow news day I guess
DAMNIT!! when the 1st article came out I was like "finally, no more fatass american comments" and then this
It's no suprise we're really the #1 fatties when you see all those fat bastards lined up around the fast food joints sitting there waiting for that crap called food.....
IN YOUR FACE, MEXICO!
asia wins!
Those damn yankees just have to try and win everything!
YEEHAH! HELL YEAH!!!
Fat Fat america!
why does it cry?
Fat Fat america!
eats a whole Apple pie!
Fat Fat america!
why does it cook then?
Fat Fat america!
beef, pork and chicken!
Fat Fat america!
won't you quit eatin'?
Fat Fat america!
says "you don't know what you're missin'..."
OM NOM NOM NOM PIE!!! better to die of a heart attack then starve to death, thats why
For some reason I want to move to India now
BMI only has 2 components height n weight
It tells you if you are overweight (but not the reason) and it is not a measure of how fat you are, there is some other test to measure % body fat.
PERIOD
This is what I want to know: If Mexico is such a poor country that it's citizens repeatedly risk death, sexual slavery, & imprisonment to find employment illegally, how'd it become the 2nd fattest nation in the world? You'd think no money=no food.
The HDI of mexico is like .854 which is actually high, the thing is there is no such thing as welfare in mexico so all the poor people having nothing so they come to America. Here in America there is welfare that is why our poor citizens never have to immigrate to other countries. Mexico needs to set up some welfare system for it's poor.
Americans are cute
2 things
BMI is inherently flawed my brother is a 6'2 weight lifter with only 4% body fat but hes considered morbidly obese under it as he weighs 295 pounds
The second is that this is in percent form. America has a much bigger population than that of all the countrys' on that list besides China and India. So the words NO SHIT come to mind. Next their is going to be a study saying America has the highest cancer rate because 1/2 the people who live over 70 get cancer. Again, no shit.
*computer voice on* USA! *computer voice off*
Doesn't surprise me at all, and no equating obesity to a fukken disease will solve it anytime soon. But this is ironic: the U.S. is the only country (to my knowledge) where prominent ppl from an African country can come here and be amazed that the "poor" here are fat compared to the poor in their country, which is not even close.
Can't vouch for Mexico, but damn they almost beat us?
India is skinniest because they all live in poverty.
Something kinda funny, the fattest person I know, is from Japan.
I never saw a fat person who does yoga and guess what? it was invented in India by men.
Some fat americans just got butt hurt.
some fat Americans are not fat, they are overweight do to MUSCLE MASS
