[QUOTE=Fables;18778301]I thought Germany would be lower.[/QUOTE] German food is absolutely packed with fats and hydrogenated oils
well look, for one thing that Bodyweight to mass Index chart thing is complete bullshit to begin with, second, it isn't genetic in 99% of cases, the Rise of PC's and jobs requiring you to sit on your ass in front of one, and the mass availability of easy access to fast food makes for a McPerfectStorm The same trend can be said for any developed nation
You talk about percentages now, but the most fat people are in the USA.
[QUOTE=DuraFlex;18779002]6) Bosnia-Herzegovina, 62.9 percent Fuck yes Bosnians![/QUOTE] hey look i met a fellow bosnian on facepunch
Everybody's getting fat on American food.
[QUOTE=InspiratoR;18784552]You talk about percentages now, but the most fat people are in the USA.[/QUOTE] What the fuck does that even matter? The USA is also much more enormous than the UK and in turn has many more people. This should be about percentages, not actual numbers. If America was only 5% fat people our fat people would still probably outnumber the UK's, so that's not the point.
Durr my country of 2 people has no fatties, eat that.
Bah, we only got 10% :D

Now then, would you [B]please[/B] shut the fuck up about "lol americas fat"

[QUOTE=Tanner;18786387]Everybody's getting fat on American food.[/QUOTE] All that means is that your country's citizens are dumb enough to buy and eat it. [editline]06:31PM[/editline] :downs:
BMI is BS anyhow.
[QUOTE=Detective P;18790243]BMI is BS anyhow.[/QUOTE] BMI is only BS if you do weight lifting or some high-intensity sports, for your average joe, you aren't gonna have an unreasonable BMI because you have a much lower fat to muscle ratio than normal.
Because everyone in America is fat. :downs: EDIT: I'm not talking to you Trotsky. EDIT: Like, ever.
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;18791544]Because everyone in America is fat. :downs:[/QUOTE] A+ post really contributing.

[QUOTE=StormHammer;18791350]BMI is only BS if you do weight lifting or some high-intensity sports, for your average joe, you aren't gonna have an unreasonable BMI because you have a much lower fat to muscle ratio than normal.[/QUOTE] Uh, no. BMI doesn't take alot into account. Bone density, frame size, muscle density, etc etc.
[QUOTE=Detective P;18796978]Uh, no. BMI doesn't take alot into account. Bone density, frame size, muscle density, etc etc.[/QUOTE] According to my BMI, I'm obese I'm skinny as a rod... :l [editline]02:51PM[/editline] and not even that tall
[QUOTE=Fables;18778301]I thought Germany would be lower.[/QUOTE] Not really surprising really when you think about all the American food with German origins.

It's the fat people's own fault for not getting off their lazy asses and not doing anything.
