Who is the Most Obese in the World? Not Americans, It's the Arabs!

[Avisheik]

No wonder they are hiring bangladeshi navy members as their Navy personnels. Too fat to steer their own own ship (no offence to qataris out there)

 

[Desert Fox]

Title should say: Not American, its the Qataris! A lot(vast majority) of Arab speaking people can't even feed their kids!!

If you click the link of the article you will notice that the original title is: Qatar named as the fattest nation on earth where HALF of all adults are obese


The person who posted the article altered the title.

you gotta make the money first.
Then when you get the money, you get the power.
Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

Global Prevalence of Adult Obesity - Country Rankings

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

Those guys in the picture don't look obese at all, they are not even overweight.

If you want to see obese, take a trip to Texas sometime.

 

[livingdead]

I cant believe egyptians are more obese than qatari/saudis

 

[Kambojaric]

Qatar is just one Arab country guys. Saying Arabs are fat because Qataris are fat makes no sense.

 

[lem34]

Congrats to Qataris for another achievement

 

[FairAndUnbiased]

How the hell are countries like Switzerland, Singapore, China, Italy and Malaysia thinner than countries like Tanzania or Sierra Leone where half the people are starving?!

East Asians have a higher metabolism rate I'd say.

Me and my friends eat a LOT whenever we go to any restaurant, far more than any of the Westerners here (even the Americans).

But for some reason it gets burned away very quickly.

East Asian countries are usually the top 1-3 in the world in terms of fish/vegetable/meat consumption per capita.

As much as I want to call you a liar, my girlfriend and I stopped at a resteraunt in Midland on our way to Dallas, even the kids probably topped 300 pounds.

Illinois and Chicago area is fine with obesity issue, generally. Texas and Florida are worse, Louisiana even.
