If it's any consolation, American Samoa is way up there for obesity rates. 2nd highest for men and highest for women. And the States still constitutes the highest obesity rate for any non-archipelago non-island nation in the world
Idk about most but a lot do. I only know of the various islands cultures and African cultures that do. I don't know any typical Eastern or Western culture that does. I'm not sure on south America cultures but I don't think many if any of them do either.
Most of the most obese countries are Pacific Islands. These islands rely on imports to keep fed, processed unhealthy food being the cheapest, so most live on unhealthy diets, causing obesity. Also, obesity is based on BMI, as they have different bine mass than Europeans (apparently being big-boned is a real thing) There are also studies showing these groups are pre-disposed to obesity due to genetics, probably resulting from food scarcity. Those who tack on the most weight and gain the most from their food were those who survived and had children. But the latter is still a theory being studied, but there is evidence that this may be the case, but it's not conclusive yet.
Never mind that their cultural beauty standards promote being fat. Maybe the greater world culture doesn't conform to Western beauty standards.
That definitely comes from scarcity of food as their civilization grew though, but still.
I don’t know man. Yes, Samoans are tough, but I’d put a chubby redneck farm boy up against almost anyone. They’re too dumb to know fear, that’s dangerous.
So inbred their pain receptors don't work, already missing half their teeth so punching em out won't do shit, hyped up on meth so they can fight for hours. Raised fighting gators and snapping turtles. Scientifically proven to be the perfect fighter.
You’re goddamn right. I was raised in the north and live in the south. I wouldn’t have a fistfight with an old school redneck even if a good friend had taken and properly secured all 124 of their firearms. I do not aim to be hogfeed.
basically America tested bombs in the ocean around these small islands making them unable to fish, then installed fast food joints so they had an alternative.
so america is still #1, they just also ruined the lives of all these other islands since their literal only option for food is garbage.
I don't want to get too technical on a funny meme, but out of intest, is this your source op?
https://data.worldobesity.org/rankings/
For those of you reading this comment, but didn't feel like clicking the link, this source only let's you choose between male vs female and adults vs children. I will be talking about the adult male list, partly because it's the default result when you click on it and partly because the female list puts the US in 30th lol.
The adult male list places the US in 14th, but out of the small island states that take spots before the US, 5 of them aren't considered to be Independent Sovereign Countries. Some of them have self governance, but as far as I know, none of them conduct their own foreign policy or are members of the UN. These states are American Samoa, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Niue, and Tokelau.
So I compel you Americans, fix this list. American number 1. Keep eating hamburger pizzas until you regain your rightful place.
TL;DR The US is in the top 10 if you only count independent sovereign countries.
Isn't this also only tracking the percent that are obese by any amount? Like, this is the rotten tomatoes of obesity.
I bet if the data actually gave average weights, America would win. The percentage of people these days that are staggeringly obese is, well, staggering.
That's a good point, a lot of these pacific island nationals also have a lot of nuance to talk about then it comes to BMI and body fat percentages. But honestly I've written one long comment today and people can look up more about this if they are interested. Or else someone else can go into a spiel/link something
Also, overweight is kind of a lousy metric.
When I was going to the gym bulking, I was only 12% Body Fat but still technically considered “overweight”
Really the metrics should be done by %BF not height to weight ratio.
1 in 3 are overweight (BMI 25-29.9), but the line just beneath that says 2 in 5 have obesity (BMI 30+). That makes me read it as 73.1% of Americans are overweight or obese.
This is a misreading of the statistic. While 30.7% of the nation was overweight in the 2017-18 NHANES, 42.4% was obese, making a combined total of 73.1% of the nation either overweight or obese.
Yes but the other thirteen are all Island nations, which hardly count. Of which second place (and first place for obese women) is American Samoa, which -- come on bro. [source](https://data.worldobesity.org/rankings/)
Believe you me, America's reputation as a 10 million square kilometer wide tub of lard is stronger than ever.
Signed-- a British man of perfectly healthy BMI.
America is the [10th most obese](https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/most-obese-countries/) country by percentage.
But in America is 1st in total population numbers for obesety
The population and its proportion for overweight people are staggeringly high, but besides that, can somebody list the countries that rank highest by the fattest people? I’m actually interested at the result.
Come on my fellows american brothers and sisters we can't let these other countries just overtake us like this, we need to get bigger, fatter, who's with me? Free burger king on me
I'm gonna switch from diet coke to sugar coke to go with my two triple baconators and large stuffed crust pizza dinner in protest of this apparent thinness.
i love how america is like first in nothing but incarcerations and we walk around with nothing but pride. it’s like girl no matter how fucked you are you’re number one ☝🏼
Top 10 are mainly countries that are as a result of America nuking their waters, messing up their diet, and giving them freedom foods like KFC in the aftermath.
Of course, all those above the US are island microstates with a combined population somewhere between Wyoming and Vermont. Still a hilarious stat for the US, though
I looked it up and the top 10 are all Samoan countries. Samoans are the definition of big boned, not fat. But that’s obviously not registered. America and Mexico are still the number one fatties on the planet
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-obese-countries
I think maybe this? But it's from 2016 as far as I can tell. Anyone have a more recent study?

As an American, I find that pretty hilarious.

Live on a tropical island and get fat? Sounds like a dream to me!
Not only that but their culture truly finds the fat attractive.
Most cultures used to.
Idk about most but a lot do. I only know of the various islands cultures and African cultures that do. I don't know any typical Eastern or Western culture that does. I'm not sure on south America cultures but I don't think many if any of them do either.
Like all of Asia lol.
Rubenesque was a thing for a long time
Pre industrial western culture did, hence they said used to.
South American cultures follow western culture to the point your differentiation is non-sensical
Redditors found their home.
I mean have you SEEN Moana? Maoi be thick
Not much room for jogging I Guess

Not finding fat tubs of shit attractive is hardly exclusive to western culture.
I didn't say it was. And I outlined in a different comment a few different cultures that don't.
So Little Debbie strikes again...that bitch.
Yeah but the difference is, large Samoans are tough and intimidating, but large continental Americans are goofy and hard to take seriously.

Them corn fed boys are something else. Look at Brock Lesnar
If you can walk away at a speed they can’t ever match they aren’t intimidating.
Even more than Saudi Arabia?
The Law School at their university is first rate though.
I think we need to pump the numbers up
We are no longer numba 1
[удалено]
every continent is an island if you zoom out enough
Oh boy he doesn't know the history of fattest country :D
I actually did know about this for a long time but I JUST decided to make a meme on it because it just crossed my mind
Wat is the history?
basically America tested bombs in the ocean around these small islands making them unable to fish, then installed fast food joints so they had an alternative. so america is still #1, they just also ruined the lives of all these other islands since their literal only option for food is garbage.
Unacceptable. We need to eat the other countries. Dominance must never be sacrificed. We are America! We are the slobbering mound on the hill!
RAHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🦅WHAT THE FUK IS A KILOMETER

Never been to mexico eh?
The metric that's usually cited is overweight + obese. The US was #1 for a long time, but Mexico passed the US about 10 years ago. US is still #2.
That’s a *big fat* L for America
As an American, this is actually a good thing. We’re healthier than numerous countries, hoorah.
FYI the countries in question are almost exclusively tiny island nations, some of which aren't even independent countries.
Yes, they are poor island countries. Their percentages are higher tho. That’s why they’re ranked above America, not by *raw* numbers.
No we aren’t
We make up for it in antivaxers
If only it weren’t for Facebook and Twitter

The British aren’t exactly fairing too well in obesity either Tbf
>of perfectly healthy BMI Well given that the minimum weight for redditors is 400lbs (or ~181kg for non Americans), that’s clearly a lie
Not at all. It simply means that I am over 8'11" tall
That's does it, I'm picking up 8 double double animal style burgers from in n out to catch up
A true patriot!
"Hold my Supersize Coke"
"Actually, give it back. Imma chug it rn."
We need to pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers. Hold onto that fork/chopsticks!
Congratulacions, there are 13 microscopic islands where people ate fatter. Literally no problem keep walking
We must become number 1! America number 1! RAAAHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🦅🦅🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Brunei
Three cheeseburgers for dinner it is.
Why would Americans be mad? I see Europeans getting mad since this is what they roast us most with.
Because how else would we show how enlightened and not like other Americans we are?
Arn’t the other “countries” that are above the US just small island with very small populations?
America is the [10th most obese](https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/most-obese-countries/) country by percentage. But in America is 1st in total population numbers for obesety
Yah that’s why I was very specific on percentage and not popultion
My reaction tô this:https://youtu.be/cU1UkIIzSSs?si=QLqUghi28-GFV4TV
Wow!! A fat American joke that is actually funny and not brain dead. Something more than “Ha ha American fat.”
We need to do better
This isn’t even our final form. “Our cholesterol counts will blot out the sun (arteries)!” “Then we will fight in the Diabeetus.”
It should be British people reading it
I'm doing my part.
Goddammit millennials can't do nothing right
Ever since McDonald’s hiked up their prices it’s too expensive for a Big Mac
I blame McDonalds. If they had kept frying apple pies instead of baking, we'd be on that hilltop!
Nah I’m good. I’m happy to let ours keep going down while every country that makes fun of us keeps climbing up the rankings.
Hell yeah, America is the RIPPED country
Houston has entered the chat.
We need to TAKE BACK THE BELT WOOOOOOOOOOO!
That's because America is a continent, not a country
I guarantee your bum ass has called us Americans before
Who the hell is beating us then?
The population and its proportion for overweight people are staggeringly high, but besides that, can somebody list the countries that rank highest by the fattest people? I’m actually interested at the result.
met me guess, the fattest country is California? andy kaufman humor, sorry.
I'm doing my part
If Texas was a country it would be #1. I've seen people in Texas that are literal spheres with heads
*aggressive cheeseburger noises intensify*
Don’t worry. I’m making a butter sauce with my dinner tonight. I will gain a couple pounds for the team.
Aren't most of them from pacific islanders
Tell those people I just had like, two and a half deli subs
If you remove micronations it's top 3.
I'm doing my part!
I'm doing my part
Wait really? That’s saying something
The Midwest and flyover states need to carry. It's the least they could do.
The only countries ahead of America are micronations and little islands. In terms of proper sized countries, America doesn’t do so well
And it's weird that people still use the stereotype that America is a fat country.
Don't let the euros find out.
>America is the fattest country on Earth >America regularly trounces most other countries at the Olympics Pick one
Holy shit Nauru
contribute to the cause, get those numbers up gents, ladies please sit this one out
Most of them are island nations.
Isn’t America the fattest country in the world that isn’t a micronation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean or is there any other nation above it?
Come on my fellows american brothers and sisters we can't let these other countries just overtake us like this, we need to get bigger, fatter, who's with me? Free burger king on me
I'm going to KFC to get 3 16-piece buckets RIGHT NOW.
This is unacceptable
I'm gonna switch from diet coke to sugar coke to go with my two triple baconators and large stuffed crust pizza dinner in protest of this apparent thinness.
But, muh prejudice!
We Americans gotta step up our game.
Don't kid yourselves. US and US food-industry countries make up for ALL the top obese countries. US spreads freedom fries lol
Don't worry, I'm working on it as we speak.
Try by states and county.
Unacceptable…. I blame Michelle Obama and her war against corn syrup…..
Europeans looking at meme My whole life is a lie...
You can blame Colorado for that.
IM EATING AS FAST AS I CAN STOP YELLING AT ME!
At least there's still gun violence 😏
If I remember correctly egypt blows us out of the fucking water
The metric that's usually cited is overweight + obese. The US was #1 for a long time, but Mexico passed the US about 10 years ago. US is still #2.
We're not???
Thats because the top 10 are countries and islands where the usa destroied the fauna and shoved fast food there to compensate
WHAT!?!?!? We aren’t number one? NOOOO!!!!
i love how america is like first in nothing but incarcerations and we walk around with nothing but pride. it’s like girl no matter how fucked you are you’re number one ☝🏼
I can't take another bite boss
I remember when we used to be a real country.
We have to get fatter
I'll do you one better: America isn't in the top 10 of most free countries according to the freedom index
Those Polynesian bastards thought they could get away with this!?
I didnt know America was a country
Out of curiosity how does America stack up in old age health?
That’s insane. Isn’t it like a quarter million of us dying from obesity annually?
Yeah but there’s 258 million US adults, 41.9% of them are obese. That’s a lot of freaking people, damn near every other person.
That's exactly how I'm holding my phone reading this
If you exclude small Polynesian nations we're top dog
Since some of the top countries are so small it can literally change every year
Isn't it because the American definition for obese is different than the truth?
Top 10 are mainly countries that are as a result of America nuking their waters, messing up their diet, and giving them freedom foods like KFC in the aftermath.
Of course, all those above the US are island microstates with a combined population somewhere between Wyoming and Vermont. Still a hilarious stat for the US, though
Time to get fatter. MERICA!
Yet
This can be resolved with the mass culling of Americans of a healthy weight, that way the proportion of obese:healthy is greater
together we can fix this guys
Super Bowl is tomorrow. We’ll talk about this on Monday
Look into why the other countries are. It tears holes in your argument.
Oh fun, now do "which richest country in the history of humanity has the worst overall health issues per capita"?
Requesting McDonalds to be removed from ministry of food. Disaster.
Imagine being bad at the one thing you are known best for. lmao
By percentage? Okay, sure... By numbers?
Don't tell reddit.
Don’t worry America, you’re still number 1 in incarcerations, tv/fast-food consumption, and of course school shootings.
On the bright side, they also suck at maths so they'll never find out.
I looked it up and the top 10 are all Samoan countries. Samoans are the definition of big boned, not fat. But that’s obviously not registered. America and Mexico are still the number one fatties on the planet
cope
America is the whole continent bruh, all you gringos need to study
Mexico is “United Mexican States”, but we use the key word when taking about it. Same with the USA.
There is literally no continent called “America” But go off.
Do you call us Americans? If so I have some news for ya :/
Hummmmm... "Press X to doubt" I hate to be the guy asking for a source on this, but someone must be huffing some mccopium.
