Ten Fattest Countries

[odin70]

I recently spent one month in NY and i think i gained at least 5 kilos. Im really glad we dont have Dallas Barbeque here. Dangerous.

Somebody's ***.

And how else, exactly, would you measure a country's fatness?

 

[syciprider]

True, but I have yet to find a strong person who can catch me

You just haven't ran into the right one. The "small" men of college and pro carry ball are blazingly fast and will easily run you down. That's a guy who is over 6 feet tall, weighs over 200 pounds (and benches a bit over that) and can cover 100 yards in about 50 strides or 11 seconds.

Good luck outrunning that one.

I agree with you about BMI, but the video was captioned "XX% overweight". Body building has its drawbacks sure but so does being slender. You won't win too many tackling contests for one...

Having a high BMI IS being overweight, by definition.

You might disagree with that definition of overweight, but there is evidence to support that an "overweight" BMI puts more stress on the body than a "normal" BMI - everything else equal.

Aww. Were only #10 on the list.

I figured England would be a bit closer to the US ... somewhere around 5-ish.

I was rather surprised Israel is in the Top 10.

Spend time in an East Coast delicatessen, and you will understand.
