I never understand this either because although America is one of the fattest countries in the world after Nauru, Cook Islands, Marshall Islands and Mexico, it's true what you say. Less than half of them are obese and people tend to assume that 30% means about 95% and are incorrect as that's flawed thinking. America doesn't seem to have as many obese people as not from what I've observed/the states I've visited so I'd say that statistic is definitely accurate. Out of every 10 people, from what I've seen, it seems to be only 2 of those 10 are obese so the majority are definitely not obese.
I think stereotyping is unfortunate as it breeds ignorance and because of that, it never stops. Even when America drops down on the list more, they'll still continue to say it because to them, truth means nothing. They just enjoy insulting people because they're unhappy with themselves or they're just not very bright.
IIN it annoys me when people say Americans are obese?
