We aren't the most obese country in the world.
Certain cultures actually find well-rounded (obese in American terms) bodies attractive. Look at sumo wrestlers. Their sheer mass can equate half of the country. So, no, I am not bothered by the psuedointellectual inquisitions of people who think America is the center of the universe and therefore, have everything right as well as everything wrong with it.

By ratio, the United Kingdom is the most obese. The typical size is 14-16.

But, the US is gaining ranks in that.

Half of European Adults Overweight

"The United States is notorious for being fat, but it looks like we're not the only country suffering from obesity and weight issues these days. According to a new report by the European Commission and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, over half of all adults in the European Union are overweight or obese, a figure that has more than doubled over the past 20 years for most EU countries. The obesity rate in the EU ranges from less than 10% in Romania and Italy to over 20% in the UK, Ireland and Malta. An average of just over 15% of adults in the EU are obese. The figure climbs to 50.1% when overweight adults are factored in with those who are obese. A person would qualify as overweight with a body mass index between 20 and 30 and obese with one over 30. Overweight or obese adults are at higher risk of suffering from heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, arthritis, asthma and reduced quality of life as well as premature death. An EU conference on nutrition, overweight and obesity is set for Wednesday and Thursday in Brussels to discuss reversing weight trends."
