Australia beats the USA

"Australia now world's fattest nation..."



Health - Life & Style Home - theage.com.au

"The latest figures show 4 million Australians — or 26% of the adult population — are now obese compared to an estimated 25% of Americans. A further 5 million Australians are considered overweight."



"Australia has become the fattest nation in the world, with more than 9 million adults now rated as obese or overweight, according to an alarming new report.

The most definitive picture of the national obesity crisis to date has found that Australians now outweigh Americans and face a future "fat bomb" that could cause 123,000 premature deaths over the next two decades."

Now I know why the Australia continent drifted towards the edge of the southern hemisphere.
