I think the statistics say it's something like 60 percent. Even the third world countries are being effected. Notice the interesting thread with news article on the problem posted in an Immortality Institute forum at http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=118&t=12344&s=

Actually you will find poor Americans of all races are fat because healthier foods are more expensive than cheep fatty foods. less expensive foods like Bologna and hot dogs, boxed foods like macaroni and cheese,hamburger helper, boxes potatoes and other boxed dinners, frozen dinners, any quick foods, already prepared foods are very high in calories and fat.........so that's one strike against poor people. then if these foods are over eaten it's that much worse. Too keep myself in shape i will buy the healthy foods but sometimes i cant afford to. Trying to buy lean meats and fresh fruits and vegetables gets to expensive with a family of 5 sometimes.................its harder to keep in shape but not impossible it just takes a little more effort if your on a tight food budget...........Not to mention people should try to find a little time to exercise every day...........this gets hard because of working extra hours or more than one job...but just 30 mins. a day should help

It seems that way. At least it is in my city. When I worked at a store a few years ago I remember walking past every aisle to see how many fat people I saw and guess what, almost everyone was obese or noticably overweight.

I don't think you should of used the term " FAT" it is like more "Over wieght" and I think it is about 50/50 in the worlds population.
