Obesity and Math 3: The Food Cost of Obesity You guys ate up the last entry so, here's another. I also started a Twitter and Instagram that will be up and running once I figure out social media. So, any recommendation for hashtags or whatever to post some fatmath on would be nice. Extra Food Costs of Eating while fat Males: Females: Pizza Hut's Medium Cheese Pizza Slice Number of Dollars spent eating maintaince difference between Average BMI and BMI 22.5 Males: 89,486/100 = $894.86 Females: 71,954/100 = $719.54 Number of extra Whole Pizzas eaten yearly (if all calories were from pizza) Males: $894.96/$19.13 = 46.7 Pizzas Females: $719.54/$19.13 = 37.6 Pizzas Chicken Breast (Boneless Skinless) Fun fatfact: American Adults have consumed ~21.25 Trillion additional calories from 1960-2016 (roughly 375 Billion Calories annually, ~1 Billion Calories per day (which could feed 666,000 people 1,500 calories), or 5 Calories per person per day), resulting in an increase of 32.5 Pounds for the male average and 32.2 Pounds for the female average. This is only to gain that amount, not to maintain it. The number of calories needed to maintain this weight gain is mere peanuts coming in at 36.5 Billion Calories over 40 years (Fucked up the math, forgot to include previous pounds gained) 939.5 Billion Calories. Also fun: The average American man in 1960 had a BMI of 25.9, and the average American woman had a BMI of 25.4. Today I estimate them to be 29.8 and 30.1 respectively.
