Mexico Overtakes United States As World's Fattest Country

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/07/10/obesity-mexico-united-states-fattest-country_n_3571988.html

Mexico has surpassed the United States as the world's fattest nation, with 32.8% of its population now classed as obese.

This worrying figure is higher than the percentage of obese US citizens, who weigh in at 32%.

The information comes from a report by the United Nations charting obesity rates across the world.

It reveals that 70% of Mexicans are overweight and childhood obesity figures have tripled in the last decade.

Technically, yes, but I wish he'd expand it to "....those fat North Americans"

[BTW, next up....my new campaign to get the Canadian members of the board to eat more bacon so they can bulk up like the Mexicans.]

If Canadian Bacon is really ham, what do they call regular bacon. We need to get this sorted out before the campaign kicks off.

Like Clarkson is the perfect image of an in-shape person.

Edit: just noticed the autocorrect from image to imagine. Damn you stupid phone.

Maybe its because all the Mexicans willing to work, and therefore skinny, moved here, making us smaller on average and Mexicans larger on average.

At least that's how I picture it in my mind.

I'm not suprised. Ever watch what happens to a mexican chick after 25? KA-BOOM.

There's a reason I don't attempt to breed with my own people.

Well, that certainly is a wake-up call. If we can't be the fattest, then what's left? Eat, you skinny bastids! Eat!

Can anyone find the whole list? I'd be curious to see where the UK falls... judging by what I see on TV, the average Brit doesn't seem particularly svelte...

Really? Most Asians I know look pretty much the same at 40 than they did at 20.

Look up the picture of Asian women's aging. Absolutely hilarious. I would say it is SFW, but I am not going to look it up while at work.
