Statistics world wide

As we can see on this picture America is marked by a dark colored red that stands for 30-40% of obesity in the country. A cause of this could be the thought of their rights of happiness and that all men are equal. The Americans believe that it is a part of their freedom to choose whether they will be fat or not. The freedom that we are referring to is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.

The darkest red areas on the map (Pacific islands) represent obesity rates of 40% or more. The next darkest areas (US, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Panama, and United Arab Emirates) represent obesity rates of 30-40%. Progressively lighter colors represent 20-30% obesity rates, 10-20% obesity rates, 5-10% obesity rates, and 0-5% obesity rates. The grey areas are not represented on the scale
