Australia is not the fattest country in the world.
According to the World Health Organisation, based on data taken between 2000 and 2008, the world's "fattest" countries are:
1. American Samoa, with 93.5% of the population overweight
2. Kiribati, with 81.5% of the population overweight
3. USA, with 66.7% of the population overweight
4. Germany, with 66.5% of the population overweight
5. Egypt, with 66% of the population overweight
6. Bosnia-Herzegovina, with 62.9% of the population overweight
7. New Zealand, with 62.7% of the population overweight
8. Israel, with 61.9% of the population overweight
9. Croatia, with 61.4% of the population overweight
10. The United Kingdom, with 61% of the population overweight
However, more recent data from the CIA tells a different story when one measures just obesity, which is a different standard from being overweight. According to an article in 2012, the most overweight countries are:
1. American Samoa: obesity rate 74.6%
2. Tokelau: obesity rate 63.4%
3. Tonga: obesity rate 56.0%
4. Kiribati: obesity rate 50.6%
5. Saudi Arabia: obesity rate 35.6%
6. United States: obesity rate 33.9%
7. United Arab Emirates: obesity rate 33.7%
8. Egypt: obesity rate 30.3%
9. Kuwait: obesity rate 28.8%
10. New Zealand: obesity rate 25.6%
