I didn't say obese. I said overweight. 59% of the EU measures as overweight, per the WHO this month.[1] Globally, human beings are moving in this direction and the reasons why are quite poorly understood.

  the study says that 59% are overweight *or obese* so people overweight and not obese are less than 59%. While in US The U.S. adult obesity rate tops 40 percent; highest ever recorded. The U.S. adult obesity rate stands at 42.4 percent, the first time the national rate has passed the 40 percent mark, and further evidence of the country’s obesity crisis. The national adult obesity rate has increased by 26 percent since 2008. so the difference is still significant. average weight shows that Europe 70.8 kg (156.1 lb) North America 80.7 kg (177.9 lb) European population 606 million adults, North America 263 million. being overweight is not a severe condition, obesity is. https://www.tfah.org/report-details/state-of-obesity-2020/ https://www.tfah.org/report-details/state-of-obesity-2020/
