Obesity around the world

  1. I like that there is an image of what a obese person could look like in a cartoon on the bottom right. Thank you for explaining that. 😂

  2. 40% obese in USA ? That’s fucking grim that’s not even counting overweight , the country would be completely bankrupt if they ever switched to free healthcare

  3. Where does the data come from? Like how do they know my height / weight and what do they use to decide whether you’re obese or not? Have they measured the fat percentage of these people or is it based off bmi? If its based off of bmi then it’s just like saying Ireland is one of the richest countries based on gdp, no?

  4. As I always say when this comes up, look at the posts here, our national dishes like fry ups and chicken fillet rolls and “jambons” etc. are saturated with calories and they seem to be staples in the diets of this sub, who are also anxious and depressed (obviously related!).

    It’s funny though because Spain and France are the land of pastries and delicious bread sticks and they’re further down the list, you notice how slim they all are there, at least the younger people.

    New Zealand is up there because Maoris and Islanders have massive problems with obesity, having spent over a year there the whities didn’t seem to fat to me but the islanders especially are humungous.

  5. Always knew greece wasnt the problem….. only 3rd on the list. Gimme back my deep fat fryer!

    Edit they’re not 3rd i just didnt open the full list 😂

  6. I am in the middle of losing weight myself. I was 19 stone the start of December and now I am 17. Trying to get down to 13-14 stone by the summer.

  7. This was the obvious counterpoint to those stats doing the rounds recently that showed our deluded people considering themselves among the healthiest in Europe.
