We don't seem to be there yet...
The US is the tenth most Obese nation on Earth.

I thought we were/are the first ?

Just checked. Surprisingly, the US is 14th according to the site I visited. Eight of the top ten are Pacific island nations and all of the top ten are islands.

Ahh so we have slipped a bit in the rankings
Hawaii is pretty bad but they are the US ....
Still with 200 some odd nations in the race being 14th is pretty bad ..

LOL, HI wasn't one of the top 10 nations. I was really surprised at the results. Statistics are like that---If you combined all of the obese people in all of those top ten nations, they probably wouldn't add up to the number of obese in the US.

Yeah it's probably a per capita average which is misleading
