Yes you are, especially when it comes to the "landwhale" category of 400+ pounds.
Even the link you provided says that the US would fit among the Arab countries, but would be a major outlier in Europe. There are people with bellies here, BMI > 30, but the "unable to walk without a motorized wheelchair" category is rare.
I live in the Czech Republic, a notorious beer-guzzling nation that was never known for being slim. But the kind of obscene, ballooning fatness that is ubiquitous in the US was never seen here until, say, 2015. Unfortunately I slowly see it slowly emerging among the youth, probably the ones who live on the fastfood diet.
(Fast food used to be relatively expensive compared to Czech salaries, so people wouldn't gorge on it everyday, but this has changed and now it one of the cheaper options out there.)
