Great! Let them help out their neighbors.
Breitbart: A recent study in the medical journal The Lancet found a dramatic rise in obesity and overweight status, particularly among young people, in the Middle East, The National reported on Monday, highlighting the contrasts in a region also suffering significant malnutrition.
While countries such as Yemen have been on the brink of famine for the better part of a decade, the wealthier populations in oil-rich Gulf states have seen a dramatic increase in disposable income and the availability of unhealthy food, particularly imported fast foods in luxury destinations such as Dubai and Kuwait. Countries that a generation ago struggled with high rates of poverty have not yet adapted their government and education policies to address the prevalence of unhealthy food or the lack of an exercise culture, the study indicated.
The study focused on overweight and obese people around the world, finding that the developing world – not just the Middle East, but locations such as Latin America – is facing rising obesity rates as it generates more wealth.
The National, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), reported that the study found that “scientists expect the Middle East will overtake North America as the world’s most out-of-shape region if ‘startling’ trends in weight gain over the last 30 years continue.”
The newspaper spoke to one of the collaborators on the study, Susan Sawyer, who warned, “the Middle East and North Africa, together with Latin America and the Caribbean, are the two regions in the world where over the last 30 years we’ve seen the most rapid increases.” MORE
LOL, WTF? Mean while, we do.
I am unlikely to be here by then, and dont care now, so I CERTAINLY wont care THEN.
Butterball Jihadis gasping as they try to run wearing a bomb vest is a pretty funny image, tho.
Good luck with that.
She really fills out that burka.
Hefty black garbage bags will need to offer a larger hefty heifer size burka for all the overweight, obese fat Muslim women. Larger to hide more explosives and cover all that fat. Put down all those donuts chubby.
Hmmmmmmm… how many donuts can a B-52 hold?
What, did they get a McDonald’s?
@ Harry 0831,
I was thinking Twinkies…
@ Anon 0850,
I wonder how well the McRib will go over?
fat sand-*******? idgas.
The McFib would go over well since it’s not made out of real pork.
geoff – The McFib would go over well since it’s not made out of real pork… but could be a real porker!
…here’s what information we have on the Mc”Rib”…

One of the funniest McDonald’s signs that I ever saw was at my neighborhood mickey d’s. It read, “Try one of our McCraps” instead of McWraps. I would pass by it and laugh, and it was on the sign board for a few days until someone finally realized that it said McCraps. And no one told them because everyone else was laughing at it also. Now that’s what I call inadvertant truth in advertising.
MY best friend and I used to joke about 40 years or so ago when chicken McNuggets were 1st introduced at McBozo’s that they were made out of beaks and feet and other assorted body parts all ground up into a paste and formed into chicken nuggets. Who knows, maybe we were right back then.
Just look at the effects of “Americanization” on S. Korea, Japan, and other nations we have occupied and forced to adopt our “culture” (aka- bigAgra, bigPharma, etc controls of food and ‘health’). A plague of sickness and obesity.
geoff – We used to call them Chicken McNads.
