Australians--They Like Big Butts

According to the latest obesity study, Australia now has a greater proportion of obese citizens than the United States. Yup, yer numero uno, oy oy oy, nom nom nom:

26% of adult Australians - almost four million - are now obese, one million more than the last calculation in 1999.

The findings give Australia top spot as the world's most overweight nation, ahead of the notoriously super-sized Americans, who have a 25% obesity rate.

Middle-aged Australians are leading the way, with seven in 10 men and six in 10 women aged 45 to 64 now registering a BMI of 25 or more.

In Australia, BMI stands for Bacon, Meat & Ice Cream. Generally, they are all blended together and placed in a bowl of hot fudge and cheese cake and sucked through a straw. Nom nom nom.

At first blush, being the fattest nation in the world sounds terrible. But let's face it, the citizens of Malawi aren't doing cartwheels over the fact that they're the skinniest nation in the world. Know what I mean?
