    I looked at this, and thought there were some obvious contenders missing from the top row: I assume that it's just because the countries are too small. But all the biggest people I've met are Pacific Islanders.

    So I had a quick search.

    World's Fattest Countries - Forbes

    There are a couple of good maps on Wikipedia too - see Epidemiology of obesity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

    The obesity index chart must be a few years old. A similar report a few months ago the US rate slightly higher, but Mexico had surpassed us.

    What's your BMI, MP? Hope the pot isn't calling the kettle black.

    I can't help but notice that you are unable to avoid making even a neutral subject like obesity political.

    My BMI is 20. I'm 55 years young. I jog at least 20 miles per week to maintain my weight and cleanse my circulatory system of bad cholesterol. My blood pressure is 110/70.

    Nothing political about it, just stating the obvious. Do with it what you will.

    Love the avatar btw. Haven't seen that show in ages.

    Your map is from the Libtard Show with Dixon Diaz (whoever the f*** he is).

    I know you choose sources of information that tend to be slanted way to the right. Do you have your internet browser set to block any and all moderate or liberal content?

    If you have an issue with the name of a particular web page etc you should probably take it up with that person. If you're upset at the data comparison arguing about it with me isn't going to do anything about it. If you want to have an adult discussion about it then I'm all for it, if not then I'm gonna have to stop you right there. It appears that the only one making this political is you.

    No, you should restrict your conservative insults (which your map title represents) to FHOP where it belongs.

    And if we keep it up, a mod will be tempted to transfer this thread there. Ready?
