America no longer world?s fattest developed nation - GoFuckYourself.com

We did it, America!

According to a new report from the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, the United States is no longer the world's fattest developed nation―Mexico is.

Nearly a third of Mexican adults (32.8 percent) are considered obese?people aged 20 and older whose body mass index (BMI) is 30 and above. That edges out the United States, where 31.8 percent of American adults are considered obese.

Syria at 31.6 percent, is the third fattest among developed countries, while Venezuela and Libya are tied for fourth at 30.8 percent.

Mexico's urban lifestyle and rising income levels coupled with malnourishment among the country's poor have helped it claim this unhealthy title.

?The same people who are malnourished are the ones who are becoming obese,? Abelardo Avila, a physician with Mexico's National Nutrition Institute, told the Global Post. ?In the poor classes we have obese parents and malnourished children. The worst thing is the children are becoming programmed for obesity. It's a very serious epidemic.?

Diabetes kills an estimated 70,000 people a year in Mexico?"or roughly equal to the deaths authorities say are caused by more than six years of the country's gangland wars," the Post noted.

About 12 percent of the world's total population is obese, according to the U.N. report.

The world's fattest nation overall is Nauru, a South Pacific island where a staggering 71.1 percent of its 10,000 inhabitants are obese.

The U.N. report does not include data for American Samoa, which has been tabbed in the past as the world's fattest country. According to a 2010 World Health Organization report, nearly all of that Pacific island's inhabitants (95 percent) are considered overweight.

On the other end of the scale is Japan, the thinnest developed country. Just 4.5 of Japanese adults are considered obese, the U.N. says.

I hear you. I've been to Italy and Italians are generally quite slim. Many people thin they should be beefier because of all the carbs and oil but the Mediterranean diet is actually one of the healthiest diets around.

k0nr4d · 07-09-2013, 11:00 PM

BMI is a *TERRIBLE* way to measure obesity. The whole scale falls apart if someone is taller or more built...

Captain Kawaii · 07-10-2013, 12:00 AM

LA has got to be the fattest city on the planet. So many burritos running around my hood.

L-Pink · 07-10-2013, 12:06 AM

Reading that made me hungry.

crockett · 07-10-2013, 05:29 AM

So now we now the real reason illegal immigration is down. They are too fat to get across the boarder.

Well played KFC, Taco Bell and McD's.. Well played indeed.

My wife's family is Italian. Every last one of them is overweight. I don't mean her family that lives in the US; I am talking about the ones from Italy itself.

One family of fatties isn't really a sensibly sized sample to base one's view of a nation on.

No, they send the skinny ones over. They work here and send money back to their families in Mexico who just sit on their asses and chow down.

If 1 in 3 Mexicans are obese, I do not know where they are hiding them???

When I was in Mexico, you would have been hard-pressed to find a fat person ....... js

You haven't been to LA... Roly Poly Chotee-ville. 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Thats nermal.
Until the "birthing hips" kick in at 12 or 13. Then we're talking 4-5 feet wide.

Go to any school at recess. The pork rind sellers are there followed up by the ice cream vendors. If you go to the "right school", cool MS13 merchants will give you free meth and H samples.

NaughtyRob · 07-10-2013, 10:51 AM

The mediterranean diet is quite healthy actually.

I wear an american medium or large in t-shirts. I can not buy clothing from Italy cause I can not fit into an xl ....what does that tell you?
And this is for all Italian clothing in general...

There are over weight people everywhere on the earth but Italy does not suffer from an obesity epidemic like the USA.
I seriously think your view of the world is based on a 3 block radius of you house.

Ditto. Been there twice, met many many dozens of people from there, don't recall ever seeing any real fatties. The findings of this article are puzzling.

And quite frankly the US shouldn't take any relief from it anyway. Being #2 or even close to the top on such a list, for a world leader like they are, is a cause for concern. Massive concern. Saying "yay, we're no longer the fattest" is like the first baby step in a really long road, not something to launch fireworks and celebrate over.
