Countries by Total Excess Body Weight

A BMI over 30 is considered obese by the WHO. These countries' BMI measurements were used to calculate how much excess body weight countries had as a result of obesity. Guess the countries that had the most "obesity weight".

Data is from 2012, but this appears to be the most up to date calculation of this kind.

I wasn't. It has a very high population and has a much higher obesity rate than the countries with higher populations.

I was surprised by the 2nd 3%, 2nd 2%, and 4th 2%, though.
