I had heard the UK had passed the US on obesity rates. Didn't realize Australia was up there as well.

I have to say that I haven't noticed quite as many obese people the last few times I've been to the U.S. In my opinion, there's a pretty direct correlation between the strength of a country's economy and the number of its citizens that are obese.

apparently that story was completely wrong. narau is top, followed by a bunch of other pacific island places. and america is still fatter than us. that is according to crikey, which sadly seems to be a more credible source than the smh these days.
