But it is..guess wherever there's great wealth and lots of food options then such a situation is inevitable. Undoubtedly there are some very large people here as compared to back from where I come from and even expats who were of an average weight back in their homelands tend to gain weight fast here too. Spreading awareness is most important. People need to know the dangers of being overweight. Problem is a lot of people may know but don't really care!
That said I find it hard to believe the "Qatar is the fattest" bit. maybe just one of em all..
