Come on people, There's been about 4 or 5 threads on this?

Yes!, The Bronzed Australian, Has been replaced by the Obese Australian and it saddens me! But, We're only Fatter Than the US by 1!....26%, Compared to 25%!

I wouldn't celebrate too hard?, As in ths case, Neither of our countries have anything too be proud of, When it comes to our health.

Okay, I may have over exaggerated? But there was already a thread in the World Forum and a mention, In the "Why do the British hate Americans" thread, On the UK Forum.

Wow! I had no idea. I thought we were the fattest...You would think that living in Australia, near the beach all the time, people would be pretty darn fit or somewhat at least.

But I must admit the Australian beer and alcohol beverages are way higher in calories than the American beer and alcohol beverages.

I do not think Australia is the fattest country on earth. I do think of the big countries on earth the USA would win the title of most overweight country.
