Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. According to a 2011 World Health Organization report, 1 in 9 people suffer from severe obesity, and this trend continues to evolve. Despite the fact that obesity causes serious health problems, in some countries, being overweight is welcomed as a sign of health, wealth and prosperity, especially if the fair sex has a curvy shape. 10. Island of Tonga In the South Pacific, on the small island of Tonga, beauty is measured in large physical forms. Obesity gripped this nation as soon as they switched to imported foods high in fat and changed their way of life. About 100,000 of the 140,000 inhabitants are overweight. The inhabitants of the island, according to studies carried out in 2004, are genetically predisposed to be overweight. The pomp of Tongan women is also deeply rooted in heredity and national traditions. 9. Kuwait Central Asian Kuwait is not only home to rich oil deposits, but also the powerful bodies of its women. It so happened historically that this nomadic people began to value completeness as a sign of good health and wealth. Surprisingly, this trend continues to this day. In a country where there is a taboo on all physical activity for women, they are considered more as an element of decor in the general home environment: the more, the more luxurious. 8. Fiji As a result of the forces exerted by the leaders of the island to connect it with the rest of the civilized world, Fiji has unwittingly become a victim of new, excessively high-calorie foods in its diet. All the traditions of the Pacific peoples are built around the culture of eating as a sign of prosperity. This practice, coupled with the lack of education of the local population, puts the majority of Fiji's population at risk of obesity. However, this does not upset them in the least. Completeness has always been welcomed in the culture of this people, as a sign of health, wealth and the ability to give birth to many children. 7. Jamaica Considering that nearly 65% of Jamaican women are obese, the ideal body on Jamaican beaches is twice as high as medical standards. On this island, special emphasis is placed on the hips and tops of the legs - the thicker, the more beautiful. This phenomenon is called steatopygia in science. Thinness in Jamaican culture is associated with sadness, while heavy "fifth point" - with happiness, good nature and social harmony. The island has a very developed pharmaceutical industry for the production of medicines for women who want to gain weight. 6. Samoa Ever since the inhabitants of these islands abandoned their traditional fish diet in favor of processed foods, the average body weight began to increase rapidly. However, obesity on the islands is by no means a new phenomenon. Anthropologists believe that the constant lack of food has served to develop a genetic predisposition of the body to store calories in adipose tissue. Fat women are welcome and are worth their weight in gold. 5. South Africa The negative association between the fatness and thinness has once again helped revive the tradition of curvy female beauty. Large women are still symbols of health and high social status. 4. Afghanistan For centuries, well-fed Afghan women have been prized for creating a stark contrast to the barren deserts of this country. Although the traditional clothing of Afghan women hides the body well, plump cheeks and soft features are always the most coveted rewards. 3. Haiti
2. Nauru Island Not only is Nauru known for its high rate of diabetes (31%), but it is also famous for its widespread obesity craze. The inhabitants of this island are directly dependent on the development of phosphate quarries, therefore, agriculture is not developed here. Food is imported from New Zealand and Australia. However, all as one, declare that fullness is a mandatory quality of a woman for the successful bearing of children, and for a man it is an indicator of strength and masculinity. 1. Mauritania
