A new article on the obesity crisis From the article: From 2002 to 2016, average height stayed the same. Weight, on the other hand, jumped some 8.5 pounds on average for men. In 2019, the average American man weighs close to 200 pounds. The fairer sex doesn’t fare much better; in the space of less than two decades, the average weight of American women has gone from 163.8 pounds in 2000 to 171 pounds today That's 5' 4" 171 pounds, for a BMI of 29.4. That's overweight. Obese starts at 30.0, and a 4 lb gain will be enough to "achieve that goal". :-( If current trends hold, every state in the nation will have an obesity rate greater than 44 percent by 2030. Giant asteroid, when-? Entire depressing article worth reading, and it calls out "fat acceptance" by name http://archive.is/xmeFT https://spectator.org/the-united-states-of-gluttony/
