Food. Malta switched from fresh fishes to deep fried dishes.
This is the home of the fat
Even the Maltese goddess was fat herself 😂
Hallik minn obese min jisimak.
Tlaqna niehdu 4 pastizzi l pjazza?
Car-centric and greasy food. People either are gym rats and follow a careful diet or they are the sort that get angry at the fact they can’t drive anymore within Mosta since the town centre got pedestrianised and can’t double park at Premier Pastizzeria, which is arguably one of the few nice things that happened recently in Malta.
We worship the Fat Lady.
No space to walk- hard to get those steps in
Have you seen the portion sizes 😂
Cant walk anywhere in this country so everybody drives
Cause we like pastizzi
So not overpopulation? Just don’t fit?
I visited there and the food was really good. That’s my guess. 🤣 we walked a lot so I lost weight there but if I was driving everywhere I could see packing on the pounds.
The food! Few years back drove from UK to Malta and after France, Italy (with a month in Sicily) I was so disappointed when I arrived as Malta seems to be a Mediterranean country with mostly British standards in food
number of people blaiming “food” confirms that real reason for maltese getting so fat is low level of education
island gigantism
It’s the pastizzi but I won’t hear a damn thing said against them out of your trash mouth.
Short people
Maltese love there processed carbs. To mention a few starting with bread. A large plate of pasta double or triple size portion. Pizza galore. Then soft drinks, and loads of sugar desserts. Then we ask why our hospitals are all over loaded.
It’s surprising because rather you all realize it or not, yall walk alot (relative to Americans at least lmao)
Footpaths just wittle away and turn into motorways. Tried to walk from Fgura to Valletta. Footpaths just vanished into multilane roads. It’s 6ish km, felt like 6000 unless you want to wing jumping over cars.
I actually noticed this today. My girlfriend who is Maltese (not living in Malta anymore) also said natives are usually short and obesity is very high and I should not think everyone will have a good beach body and walking on the street won’t be like an episode of Bondi Beach.
I reasoned height with genetics, but she could not tell why the obesity rate is high. The only thing she said could be an indicator is usage of cars and staying indoors due to heath, which is equal to less body movement.
I was under the impression there were mostly attractive people there.
BMI is not a good indicator of unhealthy weight. It is a pseudoscientific measurement at best.
With Maltese physique having a more squat and heavy set figure with high bone density this will skew the data
The Government passion is to convert open green spaces to concrete ugly shitty jungles. Poplu Gahan u njurant.
Potentially unpopular opinion but afaik, recent statistics no longer place Malta on such a high level. Afaik, my country of birth actually ranks higher (EU citizen here). So it all depends on:
* The methodology used
* How recent the data is
Parents dropping kids at nana every day.
I wonder how they got the weights of the ppl
Same reason why the top 12 countrys Worldwide regarding obesity are Island countrys https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_L%C3%A4nder_nach_Anteil_an_adip%C3%B6sen_Personen#
It’s actually ‘normal’ for a population of a small island to be generally obese. It can be seen all over the world, Nauru is a prime example just like Malta.
People are really short
I would say it’s a mix of car centric infrastructure and our love for unhealthy food.
I think:
1. No ability to walk around due to shitty roads + heat. Also, when i used to wash my face after a run on a main road, the wipe would turn grey with car sooth. So i assume I inhaled much worse.
2. Kids/young adults don’t have proper play areas unless they play football
3. Mentality of overfeeding kids (thanks to grandparents)
4. Culture of families meeting up and eating
