I wanted to address the elephant in the room that Australia obviously doesn't bring education really far.....Military pay might be more in Australia but your military size is 3.4 per 1000 compared to Americas 6.9. America pays out more overall due to the sheer size and capability of what we can do. People like coming here, what can we say. Statistics are hard.

Texas is also ranked 8th overall for fattest states - There are several that beat it in the Southeast.
