It's funny, but I read an article about this latest ranking of obese countries and outside of the USA most of the others in the top ten are very poor countries. You would think people would the the thinnest in places where they don't have enough money to buy food.
The problem in these countries as it turnes out is that they end up eating the cheapest things available and this usually sugar and grains.

From what I have seen, our biggest obesity problem is in our poorer population just like what you said about the rest of the world.
