It's a pretty big deal for the US to have a statistic like that. It doesnt matter if Mexico or some other country has more obese people. The US is/was a trendsetter (iphone facebook google hollywood), arguably the "leader" of the world if you were forced to pick one. There is even the term "Americanized." I've never heard of Russianized or Chinesed. Even politically it's a very significant country...
And 27% of its people are obese. In light of all of the above, and compared to other super power countries that becomes an incredibly high percentage
It's normal that it gets under your skin, but every country has its stereotypes
IIN it annoys me when people say Americans are obese?
