Obesity rates around the world

Maybe this is part of the curse of affluence, but it is the wrong contest to be way out in front of the competition. Shamefully, obesity rates in the U.S. far outstrip the rest of the world.

    7th from below! My silly country’s not even doing that bad! Although, of course, each case of obesity is bad on its own. I just lost a few pounds myself, so kudos to me for helping bring down the average 😉 Just kidding. Obesity is a serious matter, I hope this will open more eyes, Tony.
