eh...Is much of Central America, Middle East, and Europe really THAT much less obese to the point of not needing 'American sizing'?
World Obesity Federation | Data
Interesting map.
- shocked that obesity is so low for Russian men.
- shocked how high obesity is in New Zealand when its so low in its neighbor Australia.
- shocked at the % difference between men and women in South Africa.
Anyways- 25% of men and women in Italy and Germany are obese. Sure, thats lower than the US, but its still a statistically significant % and close enough to the US to warrant 'American sizing'.
