I'd like to see some figures on really obese people (as in % of total population) in different countries. Say over 300 lbs. Where do you think America would rank?

Edit: what's the max weight for Wii Fit?


Not sure over 300 pounds... but according to the WHO America is 9th.

Of course they are judging by BMI which many people criticize as being a poor indicator for actual health since it doesn't take into account muscle. A body buidler for example would be considered extremley obese. This can be used to explain why these numbers seem silly high for countires not in the pacific islands.
