Yahoo! news is celebrating with the news that Australia has finally surpassed the United States as the country with the highest proportion of obese people. "The latest comprehensive obesity study has shown that 26 per cent 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 per cent obesity rate." It's just one percent, but it's one-percent that separates the winners (us) and the slender losers (the Americans). Ha ha! Ha! Professor Simon Stewart, from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute, gave the following hopeful words: "As we send our athletes off to the Olympics let's reflect on the fact that we would win the gold medal now in the world fat Olympics if there was such a thing." |
