Global Fat Scale tells you if you’re skinny like Sudan

7/15/2012
It’s well known that America, land of the fried Twinkie and burgers with 500 strips of bacon, is a little on the chubby side. But have you ever wondered where you personally fit into the global fat rankings? Thanks to a new study funded by the BBC, you can discover just that. Simply input your height, weight, age and sex, and the sliding scale will tell you which country is most similar to your physique. But don’t worry if you end up on the higher end of the scale—the ratings are based off for BMI, which can often be flawed for very muscular individuals. And anyways, we’re sure everyone in Tonga, for instance is just big-boned. [Source]
