Oh No! American Women are the Fattest People on Earth.
The news is just bad, bad, bad. America is the most obese nation in the entire world. 38% of Americans over the age of 15 are obese, which is defined as a body mass index of 30 or more. When you separate that number, American women are more obese than men. 40% of female adults are obese. This according to an updated survey from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Thirty-five percent of American men are obese.
Furthermore, the OECD projected things will get worse, not better. They predict by the year 2030, 50% of American adults will be obese.
Interestingly, obesity rates are directly tied to poor education. That is to say, the more education a person has, the less likely they are to be obese.
