The US may have the most obese population in the world, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have plenty of space for people to get around.
In fact, the number of obese people in the US is expected to more than double in the next two decades, reports the Washington Post, citing data from the US Census Bureau.

In India, meanwhile, the number of obese people is expected to more than triple in the next two decades, from 10.2 million today to 28.6 million by 2045, reports the Times of India.
