WHY IS THE NUMBER IMPORTANT. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE OBESITY, REGARDLESS. DON'T EXPECT THE SOURCE TO BE FROM ANYONE IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY BY THE WAY. :mrgreen:

For children under 5 years of age, we're 20th worldwide, per this article and accompanying links:

For children aged 10-16 years, there's a table about halfway down the page at this link, however the data are from 2001-2002 so figure the percentages are somewhat higher now for the US:
