You're No Longer Aloud To Call Us..

[psychicpebble]

Fat. Yes, stop using the lame excuse "Go eat a cheesburger American" or something of that retardation. Sorry to say it people who can't think of good insults, your day has come. Studies showed in 2008 that Australia - that's right, Australia - is now the topping us the race.

Although the U.S. resides as the ninth fattest country in the world, some people have come to reason that we are in fact the fattest. Nauru is actually the fattest in the world, with a whopping 94.5% of the population overweight.

So up yours people who think Americans are fat...only 25% of us are, with Australia leading with 26%.

Get a double cheese burger, large fry and milkshake. Then Discuss.

Trust me, i know how those tests are taken and they're bipartisan observations. Your average may be less but your population is huge. Also i believe those stats are for overweight people, not obese. I think America is still winning that race.

Seriously, you're American (I guess), and I'm Belgian, theoretically, English is my third language, yet I have to correct YOU?

Anyway. Good for you I guess. I wouldn't call a whole nation fat anyway.

[yurgenburgen]

Who really gives a shit about a nation's eating habits, anyway? When I look at a country as a whole I'm more concerned about whether they're harbouring terrorists and religious extremism than I am about what they choose to stuff their faces with.

All this "Your country is fat", "No we're not", stuff is just a pointless distraction from all the genuinely bad shit that's going on in the world.

I'm tired of people accusing Americans of being very fat when in fact, obesity rates in both Australia and the UK, and many other countries, are also very high. It's like a six-year-old saying "I'm older! I'm older!" because he was born three months earlier.

[EverReady2Kill]

Even if everyone in Australia was fat there would still be more fat people in America.

Win, as it is the actual truth.

[secretivecucumber]

You do realise that Australia is mostly populated by families that have come from other countries, so you guys can just dump your fatties on us :O

Haha, you should do better research. There is a big difference between being overweight, and being obese. In fact, with the way they calculate an 'overweight body', it's really quite easy to be a little bit over the line.

But we aren't talking about people being a little overweight, we are talking about people being FAT.

You know, OBESE.

And in regards to that, America is still leading the way.

END OF DISCUSSION.

Oh, here are some interesting links for your amusement:

News Article.
Statistics.

DISCLAIMER: The method for calculating most of these statistics is the BMI, which is, at heart, a flawed system as it only take into account actual body weight, not muscle to fat ratios etc. So, until a more accurate method is used across the board, it's pretty much impossible to say which country is most obese with 100% certainty.

[psychicpebble]

Shit I got a bad source. Well, back to eat more cheesburgers I guess.

[Eggy]

Also America has more people, so you still have MORE overweight people then us by far since our population is smaller.

Also America has more people, so they still have MORE people who aren´t overweight than in Australia since their population is smaller.

[alucardxmeow]

Well I'm not fat. It's just the lazy people that come from other countries that keep liking McDonald's so much.

I don't blame them. The french fries are good but I don't see how it's possible to eat more than 1 of ANY of their burgers...

[HappyYeti]

you want statistics? i will give you statistics!

america has 5% of the world's population

it has 25% of the world's prisons

Didn't think us aussies would go down without a fight did ya?

[SuspiciousPenguin]

congratulations america on ridding a pointless stereotype.

[Cybersief]

Wow, not to be offensive or anything but I actually thought this would never happen, especially since America is one of the biggest countries there is.

I dunno where you're conjuring that magical fact from, but your article claims otherwise.

"The U.S. weighs in at No. 9, with 74.1% of those over 15 years old considered overweight."

Whereas Australia comes 21st with 67.4%.

Did you even read the article?

That's some old data you have there. Data for Australia, Austria and Portugal is from 2002. All other data is from 2003.

[DarkSytze]

seems like americans still hold a monopoly on sheer stupidity.

nauru is small, america is loosely 20,000 times the size of of nauru. the ratio is way off, the USA belies it's rank.

Exactly, and considering most of the most "fat" countries are the Samoan/Fijian/Micronesian or whatever islands, it can't be that accurate. I wouldn't fuck with a Samoan, those guys are built.

[mystro]

selective sampling obviously, americans are fat hideous and smell like spoilt cheese

FACT

[aaronzxcv]

Yeah Australia come in 21st

but he is older.

[Dropkicked]

I think it's a ridiculous thing to insult an entire country anyway. When some Brit tells me to "Go eat another cheeseburger, you fat American fuck", I've realized that they clearly don't have any real ammo against ME in particular as an individual, so they have to try and insult me based on the people around me, whom I don't particularly like or agree with either way.

It's just kind of sad that they need to insult me so badly, so I let them have their fun, usually.
