Didn't they get Wii Fit before the U.S.? What's wrong with them?

 

Seeing them so flat, they mistook them for vegemite sandwiches,  do the math...

What happened to Naruru?

There's probably not a lot to do in Nauru. It doesn't even have any cities or towns, plus its pretty isolated from everything else.

“Based on the old data and self-reported surveys, we had thought that seven million adults were obese or overweight, but it is actually nine million,” Professor Simon Stewart, who led the research team, said. “That is a whole million more obese adults than we had thought.”
Is Australia worst at maths too?

 

 

Ha, I noticed that too.

I would've thought that it would be the United Kingdom or Canada considering that these two countries are so similar to the United States. Ahh well, still interesting.

MY country does have an emerging (apparently VERY emerged) obesity issue amongst our middle-aged population.

Its a shame I think.

Wasn't Nauru the place that got itself obscenely rich by selling bird-shit and then running out and becoming poor again?

And yeah, sadly Polynesians have a real problem with obesity.

Young people aswell, I don't think I've ever been to a town without a mc donald's (and I've been through most of south east victoria, including the country side aswell).

Also, I blame Mc Donald's becoming 24 hour.

Also don't forget the effect that drinking has on weight.

From what I've seen on my trips to Aus (about 6 or so trips) you guys have got at least as bad a drinking culture as us lot across the ditch.
