It took a lot of new burger joints and a lot of cupcakes but in the end we finally managed to top the list.
A round of double cheeseburgers on me! [Link]

uggh, wat tha?
Da heeelll did i just read! O_O how could kuwait beat usa in obesity! That’s not possible! :O
they just did
It’s not possible. This list is false propaganda.
Do this include expats? Cuz the UAE seems wrong to me, I dont recall seeing overweight emaratis ever, well you rarely see emaratis anyway.
Maybe we can blame the expats for this too….. Since they outnumber the citizens…. it’s their fault that we are the fattest country in the world . LOOOOOOOOL…. then we can go back to up-sizing our meals with a clean conscience…
Given that expats are blamed for everything else in Kuwait, I dont see why expats shouldnt be blamed for this as well 😀
So are they passing a law, banned fast food for expats or cap on buying burger per month !
+1 lol
Given that it’s April 1st, you should have put Ethiopia and Somalia one and two.
well, fuck.
It’s funny that Kuwait os the fattest country but they don’t have a lot of stores selling plus-size clothing.

I remember this story.. 😛
If you’re super fat you can wear a loose dishdasha, like tent size
Also note the numbers, men are overweight, women are obese, which is not surprising considering that all what a Kuwaiti woman does in life is eat.
I think Jazeera should start aasking obese people to pay for two seats like in the west.
OR .. Create a totaly new product line, Fatso Airlines.
Well Kuwait could really use amnother discount carrier. I’m sick of Jazeera!
Have you seen the prices of Women’s gyms compared to men’s?
No I haven’t.
They’re insane and there aren’t nearly as many Women’s as Men’s gyms. Mixed gyms are typically really expensive and not everyone lives close to one.
Ohhhhhhhhhh yes!! Finally a record worth breaking 😀
Thanks for Alshaya for contributing to this :p
this is all because of you mark with all your burger posts n food reviews 😉

-Unhappiest country in the world.
-Unfriendiest count in the world.
-Fattest country in the world.
Next study will reveal:
-Dumbest country in the world.
No one should be offended at this point…

and becoming the racist as well! :s

Nationalist no racist.
The segeration is based on your nationality not your skin color or ethnicity.
Apartheid perhaps?
I doubt we’re the dumbest/unhappiest, I know a lot of happy people, hell, most people i know are happy.
Introduce us to your friends? 😀
Yay! We’re No: 1 🙂

HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO KEEP BLAMING THE BUSINESSES????
They don’t put a gun to your head and make you eat their food!
The newer franchises have large portions but they don’t make you eat it all before you pay the bill!
Everyone loves to eat tasty food, just don’t over do it!
Not to mention that if you really want to be healthy cook your own food, you know what goes into it.
people think with their “bottoms” rather than use their brain..
It’s really stupid to blame franchises lol..
Xactly ! Open a cocain store and blame people who buys it !
they are lazy – and have nothing to do.. not much to do with burger joints they are other options too.
and lets not forget they are so many gyms popping up here.
i eat whatever i want and i go burn it off ok i can’t lose weight because what i burn is a lot less than what i eat.. but at least i can control it.
Look on the plus side ( pun intended )
Now would be a good time to…start a
– fitness center business,
– Burger joint,
– Dieting Center
– Plus size store
– Surgical place for Obesity related surgery only
– All of the above
large corporations take the hint…
guys i read through the source.
now i have a few doubts, i can understand and agree about kuwait being number 1, but it source lack a few major details are sporty,masculine, worked out ppl included in short if you are well buffed your BMI will be higher then normal, you go to any bmi measuring app/site, they will give you this warning.
so is this considered in survey
i got this doubt coz Australia is in list pretty high
Yeah true but the majority of the population is not buffed so it shouldn’t make a difference
Plus Australia used to be in the top 10 for obesity for a while, I’m actually stunned it’s not in it this time, we’ve got our fair share of hefty people.
oh good…so a high BMI isn’t a bad thing!!which means Im not Obese…im…well built?!
Soon this will reach the parliament and immediately the cause will also be announced: expats
+10000000
+24800000000
expat food make me fat 🙁
Mary make my machboos with too much oil
YAAAAAAAY FINALLY WE ARE #1
We need a food tax. If you are fat you have to pay 50% of your food at restaurants and jam3iya to be donated to bangladesh feeding program.
with a cumalitive 5% increase each month you fail to lose 5% of your increased mass.
Not if they are going to base that off of BMI. BMI is ok for an average against a population, but it’s next to useless for individuals; for example, a scrawny guy with zero muscle and a pot-belly can be classed as healthy, whilst a guy with muscle that goes to the gym regularly can be classed as obese.
@MoBo yeh, scam on this blogsite. Maybe I should also bring up how irritating it is that you hug the middle lanes on major highways going 80KM. This, by the way, causes accidents also – if you want to drive 80KM, drive in the far right lane!I’m going have my horn level raised and I’m going to start blasting you out of the middle lane – you’ll see.
Actually there are places that have a tax on unhealthy foods
false
New song entered the top 10 in Kuwait. 😉

This is awesome!!! Well, I guess I gotta start working out! LOL!
Wait…you do realize today’s April Fool’s day right?
Expats has blocked roads with huge increase in traffic jams ! Hence people had to stop on way and eat triple cheese burgers and order another as take away because it would take further time to reach homes !

It appears that eating is on a VERY short list of things Kuwait does well.
It was just announced that Honey Boo Boo received honorary citizenship of Kuwait.
Fuck Yeah,We are number one.
The Diet Ninga is not doing enough xp
whats a diet ninga?
The diet ninja, AKA Fahad. Check him on instagram @thedietninja
Next topic to discus at the next parliament session possibility of rationing fast food and restaurant dining for expats or permanently charging expats extra 30% on everything food related from your regular groceries to eating in restaurants.
Law makers fuzzy logic = Make it difficult for them to eat and they will cut down on their portions hence they will loose weight faster thereby loosing weight and concurrently leading to Kuwait slipping down the list of world fattest people. After all you cannot blame Kuwaitis on their own for being on the list; the makers of this list had to have taken into account the expats as well. And since they out number nationals 3 to 1 they are the major reason for the bad name.
@ meh ; I like your idea FATSO AIRLINES..
Maybe I can speak to some of my friends in the military who work in the procurement department and we can find an old C-130 or a Hercules cargo transport sitting on moth balls. We can gather a bunch of investors and start up a whole new type of flying specifically for fat people. Instead of seats we could have them fitted out with Lazy Boys and have a fully fitted electric grease grill for burgers and greasy food instead of boring regular airline food. Hell with all the space we have we can even super size the toilets.
I can see the adverts now .
Have you been laughed at because you are fat??
Have you heard this often
“Sorry but you must buy 2 or in your case 3 seats to accommodate your size??
” Our carrier insurance doesn’t cover heart attacks on fat people brought on by sudden coagulating of fat filled arteries due to sudden cabin pressure changes !!
or even this “Our crews are not body builders to lug your weight and can only perform CPR on persons up to a 80 Kg weight limit”
If your answer is yes to all the above then dont worry!! Wipe that frown of your face and smile FATSO Airlines is the answer to your prayers.
On our air crafts weight and size are literally not an issue. We offer you the very best lush and soft lazy boys to sink your big fat ass in. Our gourmet cooks trained in renowned greasy spoons from all over the world will offer you gourmet greasy treats in a extra large bowl. Our crew are specially trained to use motorized dolly’s to lug your weight around and in administering CPR to fat people and in the use of extra heavy duty defibrillators. And finally no more stairs to climb; all our air craft carry golf carts to cart your fat asses to and the terminal…
Come fly with us.. We know what you want. FATSO Airlines we cater to the MASSES en mass !!
Good plan….make sure smoking is also allowed.
LOL that’s a very detailed proposal. But operating in the Gulf you will need an Antonov.
Samoan airlines just announced they are charging more for fat customers
@ meh hmmmm you are probably right LOL ..but then again Antonov’s are far cheaper; let me see what my Russian friends have in their bone yards 😉
@Matt . Smoking, drinking, loud burping,belly slapping ,belching you name it absolutely no issues on FATSO airlines we like to make the OBESE feel at EASE ..LOL
The infograph source is World Health Organization (2010)[bit.ly/bmi_who]. If you check the survey codes for Kuwait, the latest study was done in 2006 https://www.who.int/chp/steps/STEPS_Report_Kuwait.pdf [see page 192].
but who cares ?! lets just all forget about our problems and keep asking for salary increases to buy the silliest things….
FATSO AIRLINES? Let me introduce you to Samoa Airways where you pay as you weigh. Yes, just like you pay for excess baggage, you get on the scale and pay according to your weight. Pssssst….don’t tell Jazeera Airways…..they may run with this idea since if I change my ticket they re-charge me full taxes again so then I pay double for taxes (scam) After I paid with the original booking for my seat charge and have yet to fly they re-charge for seating costs (scam).
Haha congrats you fat motha f****s! Welcome to the club!
keep bracking records!!!!!!!
