Why are the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada the number 1, 3, 6, 7, and 11th fattest countries?

It's not genetics, it's fatty food, soda and lack of exercise. That's all, plain and simple.

they are all considered first world countries which means that their economies are strong enough for the people to eat what they want. Plus they all have a population base which draws its ancestry predominantly from the British Isles where the traditional diet for the people who did not live in the country is estremely high in fat. the combination of wealth and the traditional diets of the people from these countries means that they can afford to eat what they want in the quantities they want and that translates to high quantities of fatty food.

cause we have too many advantages that we take advantage of. also, i think we are bored too easily and find entertainment in eating. either that or when we watch t.v. we don't think about what we are eating and just stuff food in our faces. we are very lazy people.

We are first world countries, we can afford the food so we eat it.

Because of three people... Colonel Sanders, Ronald McDonald, and Jack in the Box!

People turn to food for comfort others love to entertain and some are just plain lazy. I can't speak for everyone just the few I know. They turn to food because their life is moving to fast for them to slow down and eat properly (Professional, high paying and demanding jobs) and they need something on the go, quick and not much effort put into it. the obese people don't do that to themselves on purpose, they do this as a comfort thing and because they love their food. However they forget to stop. It's also a confidence thing.
