Being that I have been having a bit of a obesity theme this week I thought it would be quite interesting to see which nations and or countries, have a biggest obesity problems, so with that in mind I decided to do some research and see what I could find, and came across a list that showed the percentage of people, in a country who were obese.

This will give a very overall clear picture of exactly how big a problem this has become worldwide not just in our country but everywhere. Eating too much food has quite literally become a global phenomenon. According to what this site says where this information came from there are now 1.6 billion obese adults worldwide

Here is the list of the world’s fattest countries.

1. Nauru 94.5 percent
2. Micronesia 91.1 percent
3. Cook Islands 90.9 percent
4. Tonga 90.8 percent
5. Niue 81.7 percent
6. Samoa 80.4 percent
7. Palau 78.4 percent
8. Kuwait 74.2 percent
9. United States 74.1 percent
10. Kiribati 73.6 percent
11. Dominica 71 percent
12. Barbados 69.7 percent
13. Argentina 69.4 percent
14. Egypt 69.4 percent
15. Malta 68.7 percent
16. Greece 68.5 percent
17. New Zealand 68.4 percent
18. United Arab Emirates 68.3 percent
19. Mexico 68.1 percent
20. Trinidad and Tobago 67.9 percent
21. Australia 67.4 percent
22. Belarus 68.8 percent
23. Chile 65.3 percent
24. Venezuela 65.2 percent
25. Seychelles 64.6 percent
26. Bahrain 64.1percent
27. Andorra 63.8 percent
28. United Kingdom 63.8 percent
29. Saudi Arabia 63.5 percent
30. Monaco 62.4 percent
31. Bolivia 62.2 percent
32. San Marino 62.1 percent
33. Guatemala 61.2 percent
34. Mongolia 61.2 percent
35. Canada 61.1 percent
36. Quatar 61 percent
37. Uruguay 60.9 percent
38. Jordan 60.5 percent
39. Bahamas 60.4 percent
40. Iceland 60.4 percent
41. Nicaragua 60.4 percent
42. Cuba 60.1 percent
43. Germany 60.1 percent
44. Brunei Darussalam 59.8 percent
45. Slovenia 59.8 percent
46. Peru 59.6 percent
47. Vanuatu 59.6 percent
48. Finland 58.7 percent
49. Jamaica 57.4 percent
50. Israel 57.3 percent

I suppose when you look at this list and it’s no great surprise that the United States of America is in the top 10, and no great surprise that we number 28 on the list. Surprisingly enough China is in at 148 and has a score of 28.9 percent which is very low, Japan is even lower their score is 22.6 percent.
And interestingly enough India is at 176 and has a score of 16 percent.

Is it feasible to say that affluence is the cause of this it doesn’t seem so necessarily, the world over it just seems we have either good or poor eating habits which ever way you look at it, in this country we have a tendency to binge drink which is something which is on the increase.

Japan has been a very affluent society for a very long time now, but as we can see from the list their rates of obesity are very low, I dare say they have McDonalds, and take-away establishments much like every other country does.

But they could possibly have tighter restrictions on exactly how many there are in the country. If the thing about this is really we ultimately are in charge of what we eat, so if we become fat and or overweight then there is nobody to blame except ourselves. Which will always be the case I’m afraid.
