Fat chart by country

There are a lot of charts and data out there listing information about which country is the fattest from low to high, but overall, Asian countries like Japan and Korea are consistently the lowest, and (I'm sorry to say) the USA is consistently the highest, or near the top in every one I found. In the most recent, Americans (both male and female) are running BMIs in excess of 30 to 35. Now I also believe BMI is a horrible way to assess fat content, but when you look at large amounts of data, the numbers don't lie. If you don't believe me, just look around and make an informal survey of the people around you. What percentage looks fit, and what percentage does not? This chart spells it out fairly well.
