Countries like Nepal have communist parties in charge but still give out stats unimpeded while non-communist dictatorships like Turkmenistan struggles to do so.
idk if NK can be called communist anyways.. heck communist manifesto and das kapital are banned there
Anyway, the above countries show up due to a combination of common body types, genetics, diet, and, in several but not all of these places, malnutrition.
Thats why a lot of starving countries (somalia, south sudan, mali...) are not represented in this quiz. On the other hands, rather wealthy countries that have a culinary tradition f diversified and healthy food (in Asia for instance) dont have any obesity. But that is changing really fast due to the implementation of fast/sweet food from the West. In Cambodia the rate of obesity has doubled in 20 years, due to the processed foods.
Of course there are also those that are undeniably fat no matter who you compare them with ( those that can barely walk) of course they would stand out more, and can make it feel like there are more of them than there actually are. Anything unusual catches our attention and it warps our idea of the actual representation. Like how some places seem to be overrun by foreigners, while the actual numbers are not high at all, but when you hear a lot of people around you talk in a foreign language it just stands out,
I'd guess poverty, but then why wouldn't all the subsaharan African countries precede them? Maybe Africa gets more food welfare? India and Bangladesh seem surprising, given they're so populous. I assume Oceania gets omitted due to a sedentary lifestyle of being tied to a small location.
Maybe it's a religious thing? But AFAIK SEA is pretty diverse in that regard (Japan, India, Bangladesh, Cambodia - Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist)
From the videos I've seen of Africa, I assume the women get fat, while the men stay relatively lean by staying physically active?
I wouldn't be too surprised to see the countries remaining on the list moving down or dropping off in coming decades, though, as diet and lifestyle continues to change. The proliferation of cars in Vietnam over the past 15 years, for instance, has been astonishing. I think that Thailand and the Philippines might show up on this list, too, except that American fast food chains have been in those places longer and gotten more popular than they have so far in Vietnam or Cambodia.
