This is misleading; the article that cites the data source names these statistics as percentage of people who are “overweight” in each country, rather than “obese”.

Good observation. I knew the percentages were outrageously high. This is shameful. Way to screw up your demo guys.

You failed to include your definitions of “overweight” and “obese”.
