      As (almost) every Maltese would say “It’s the migrants fault mela”

      Fascinating how the country of Pizza, Pasta and Tiramisu also has the lowest average BMI in Europe. I always told myself I’d be fat as fuck if I moved to Italy.

      Maybe it’s not Pastizzi making Maltese people fat. Could it be because exercise is an absolutely unknown topic for a lot of people here?

      …how? I lived in Nordic countries before and those guys are pretty darn fat on average compared to the average person you see while walking around in Malta.

      While writing my message I think I figured out the answer to ‘…how?’, I’m pretty sure the reason is that the chart excludes expats just living here with a residency permit, who make up a large portion of the people you see around and tend to be in good shape (myself excluded, unfortunately), especially the Asians which there are quite a lot of.

      The main reason for my misconception is probably ‘compared to the average person you see while WALKING around’, I guess the actual citizens are sitting in cars getting fat lol

      How interesting that it is us and Iceland at the top of the chart. I have never been to Iceland but I wonder if they have a similar car dependent society. I personally put on 30 kilos in the last 5 years after badly injuring a leg and a long period of depression that I smoothed out the edges of with Red Wine and Cheeseburgers (loads of fun but not good for the waistline). I’ll say this, when you decide to look after yourself Malta has a lot of good options for places to walk / gyms to use etc (even if often you have to drive there first).
