Australia steals the USA's crown...

[Jack_Bauer]

Yes folks, for decades the USA have led the world in one of their real globally recognised specialities. But a new study has shown that Australia has finally toppled the US from their perch.

Australia is now officially the fattest nation on earth - Australia beats US to title of most obese nation, report finds - Times Online

Ronald McDonald was reported as being both "shocked" and "appalled" at the revelation, while sources close to Colonel Sanders say that he was "inconsolable" upon hearing the news.

Congratulations Australia, and commiserations USA. Who knows, eat a little harder and you may just win that title back!

As a repesentative of this mighty country, I'd like to thank god, my agent, my mum... <sniffle>

You know what? We don't want this.. USA, come and get the title back! Please!

Yay!

We're not the only fat oafs in this world anymore!

[clutch-monkey]

actually this is sort of good. no matter how bad obesity is, nobody will do anything as long as they can justify that someone else out there is fatter.
now we get to see some real action

I remember when australian pupils came to my high school, many of them where amazed by the few fat people we have here.


EDIT : although none of them were really fat, quite strange...

Well, in defence of the Aussies the study was based on Body Mass Index, which is a notoriously vague measure of health/obesity. An athletic person with a high muscle content can still be classed as "obese" according to the BMI system, despite being in great health with a low body fat rating. Perhaps the Aussies are all just beefcakes?

Or maybe they really are fat bastards, who knows?!

Hey, that's not very nice thing to to say about the former prison colony.

Dont be too upset aussie's having fat people just means your country is prospering so there is plenty of food to go around...in a few years people will start wanting healthy food and getting treadmills and all that stuff and then everyone will be on hydroxycut! YAY!!!

Like myself, my BMI classifies me as morbidly obese, but my bodyfat percentage classifies me as slightly overweight. Muscle ftw.

Have they SEEN how skinny I am?
