Eyeclops Mini Projector Does Not Work

Somewhere over the Rainbow

obesity is desirable in some cultures, especially in those where food is scarce. Fat is rich and rich is good. And healthy: no parasites, no AIDS, no drugs.

obesity is demonized in some cultures, especially those in which food is cheap and abundant. Fat is lazy / hedonist / undisciplined and therefore bad. And unhealthy: diabetes, high blood pressure, broken joints. At least.

obesity is as a civilization disease, affecting mainly the poor of the first world to fill their lives with fast food and television. The fat-Americans bizarre Clothes-feeble-minded smile with the burger in one hand and the Coke in the other paw is the stereotype of the decadent westerner.

Here are the Americans, statistically speaking, not the fattest people on this planet. The map below shows the proportion of overweight adult women in relation to the adult female population, the top 5 in each case with percentage information.


the highest proportion of overweight women has undoubtedly the South Pacific, Nauru beats Tonga to set royal diet. Sorry, there are the South Pacific and Southeast Asia a region heavily populated countries (China, India and Indonesia) have apparently only a very small proportion of fat women.

lands in second place-regional-the Middle East. Fats Arab women? Why not. The term "penguin" is derived ultimately from the Latin "pinguis" ("fat") from. The Arabic food is delicious and calorie-rich, opulent meals are an important part of Arab culture.

But there also is not simply manna from heaven. Obesity requires the availability of high calorie food, or in short: who is fat, has more than enough to eat.

The always threatened by hunger "Palestine" is landing in the top 5 in the Middle East, but only at # 4 (distance to the rich Saudia 1%), with a share of 43% obese women, but globally in the top group. Bring the fat Americans are just at 33%.

43% of the adult "Palestinian" women are obese, meaning they not only have a few pounds too many, but severely overweight. The country in which almost every second woman is obese needs, but support from the UN. flour you can not get enough of, and the silly 1.0149 million kcal (calculated as of BEER7 ) per resident of Nablus, also are metabolized somehow.

Hopefully they will take not only fat but also friendly and peaceful.

Maybe a little bit like Israel Kamakawiwo'ole ...
