Re: Obesity!
With about eight of those countries also being the most populated in the world, I guess they're not much of a surprise. Germany and Egypt seem to be eating above their weight a little, though.
Edited to swap Pakistan with Egypt which was what I meant to write.

Re: Obesity!
If it were an expat obesity list I imagine the scales would be tipped to favor Cambodia considerably.
