Aussies, that's who. (http://www.themercury.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,11450540%5E421,00.html)
THE average Australian woman is a size 16 and weighs 8kg heavier than her American counterpart, according to authoritive new international research.

Australian men are also 3kg heavier than American males, the joint study by the University of Adelaide and US researchers shows.Lighten up on the amber fluid and the snag, mate.

There are some pretty stocky Russians too, but I don't think we'll find statistics.

Yeah, that might be true, but I'm sure they'll find a way to blame the U.S. anyway. Besides, everyone but the Americans are fat but healthy, so the Americans are still the most evil.

(What about some of the island folks in the South Pacific? Aren't there some rather stocky characteristics around there?)

Well, of course, pesci! After all, the US is the source of all that is wrong in the world.

...Americans are still the most evil.Well yeah, we'll always have that going for us.

(What about some of the island folks in the South Pacific? Aren't there some rather stocky characteristics around there?)I don't think they had that problem until someone (probably British, French, or Dutch) introduced pigs to their islands. But, like the Pima Indians of Arizona, it really wasn't until high carb foods were introduced to them did a problem with weight and the associated health problems like diabetes start showing up.
