…who’s the fatest one of all? How do you bring across the idea that some nations are really gaining weight?

WellingtonGrey.net  has a wonderful chart graphically showing how obese one nation is compared to another. It’s a neat visual tool. For me it was startling to learn that the USA has about 30% of its population considered obese while in our very own Canada it’s a relativey modest 14%. Of course, that’s still pretty high compared to Japan or Korea at 3%. It’s enough to make you wonder why the differences, but, of course, that’s where the health lesson comes in.
