This little pictograph shows the top 27 fattest countries in the world, based on the percentage of each country's population above the age of 15 with a body mass index greater than 30. The information used to develop the chart was obtained from this Wikipedia image. Some interesting notes: - The U.S. is in first place. USA! USA!
- Hungary is in the top 10. Heh.
- Japan and Korea, despite being major world powers and population centers, are quite low.
- China is conspicuously missing from the chart, which either means there was no data from China or Chinese people are in fact all skinny.
