According to statistics conducted by WHO, the population of people with a BMI over 25 in developed countries are as follows:
| USA | 66.7% |
| Germany | 66.5% |
| UK | 61% |
| Canada | 59.1% |
| Australia | 49% |
As we can see, obesity is prevailing in developed countries.The main reason for this it too much intake of high calorie foods as well as the convenience of fast food. Also, the increased usage of the internet leads people to lack exercise, which means less energy use.
The same situation is happening in Japan as well. Nowadays, 13 million Japanese men and 10 million Japanese women are at risk for obesity.
