The drawing below was done by http://wellingtongrey.net, the data taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=image:bmi30chart.png&oldid=107854217.

the chart itself can be found @ http://www.wellingtongrey.net/miscellanea/archive/2007-05-06–world-fatness.png

And if you’ve got Showtime and want to watch the Bullshit! episode on Obesity, you can find the air dates here:

Pass the chocolate!
