AMERICAN Samoa. They are part of the US. Furthermore, there are some south Pacific tribes that look upon obesity as a sign of status.
So when you adjust for cultural differences, I'd hazard to guess that Merrica is #1 or 2

You are right but at the end of the day obesity is still obesity. When u adjust for those overweight US is up there.

Yeah. This is mostly because their diet consists of SPAM, fast food and sugary drinks. Over half their population smokes and they're all very inactive.

I think Mexico is number 3, which surprised me. Asked a mexican friend and he said it's true though.

Just look at their food. Fried stuff, refried stuff, cheese, and bread. I grew up right across the border in Texas, and fat Mexicans are everywhere. I also grew up with the Internet, so I saw all the "America is fat lolol" posts, so I assumed everywhere in the country was that fat.

Yeah... lots of cheese, bread (tortillas), and chicken. but they also eat a fair bit of seafood and vegetables.

Reportedly, their love of Coca Cola is off the charts
