person in china: 160 pounds, supposed to weigh 150 pounds = 10 pounds due to obesity.
In these two people, the US makes up 50% of the population, but 94% (150/(150+10)) of the biomass due to obesity.

I didn't see chemgear's post as I was replying to the one above it.
That being said, what that report says is much different than what was originally stated.
North America != America
34% of biomass due to obesity != 34% of biomass
So yes, that report does make some sense, but that's not what the original post said.
