The "F" Word




We're not going to say it. Instead, we'll replace it with the word "overweight."


Can you guess what country in the world has the greatest percentage of overweight people? Forbes magazine, who defined "overweight" as having a body mass index of 25 or more, tallied results from the world over and ranked them up.


You Statesiders are convinced that the ole' red white and blue is #1. Nope. Us Cold Stone grubbin' hogs rank #9. Australia? #21. UK? #28. Philippines? #155.


The country that is #1 for the greatest percentage of overweight people is Nauru, an island nation in the South Pacific. In fact, the rest of the countries that rank higher than USA are a bunch of places whose names are barely recognizable. (I think they're barely recognizable because they are overweight.)
