Well, I can't say that you're wrong, because it's your opinion.
But I'd still have to go with the logic that America has the worlds largest obesity rate, and since a majority of America is white, it would be have to be the white race that is the biggest.



mexico does come in second though.

But i find it hard to determine obesity by race, since it doesn't matter what colour you are, but it's more based on genetics, and your eating habits.

And Yay for Russia.
Russian Federation (49.1%)

Apparently we're not that fat at all.
Except when you're old...

And since most of american's are white, I'm going to have to say that whites are probably the fattest race. Also, that man is THE fattest man alive, and he recently got married. So there's still hope for everyone. LOL.

Not proportionatily.

I read somewhere that there was a native American tribe somewhere in the southwest that was like, over 80% overweight. Not being racist, just restating a fact that I read. (I'm part native, so I don't hate them or anything like that of course) I read that it was a mix of genetics and a high-starch diet.
It could be wrong, but that's just what i read and saw mentioned on TV.

From what I've seen (i hope nobody takes this in an offensive way) Native Americans.
I seriously have only seen a few who aren't overweight.

seriously, no offense.
it's just what i've seen.

I think you meant 4.91%.

Anyway, a question for original poster: are we talking about races, or nationalities, or countires? Clear that up for me, please.

I think it totally depends on the genetics
hispanics are usually on the poorer side, which draws them away from healthier foods

Miguel Uribe. He's Mexican, and resides in Mexico. He was world's fattest man, and I think he still is. But, he's getting married soon.
