Question About the Fat Evolution Post Someone posted an article showing how the world has gotten fatter since the 70's.  What is everyones opinion on the accuracy of that?  I have no evidence to back up my claim here, but I feel like the standards for being considered obese are pretty soft.  This is purely based on anecdotal evidence I have from exploring the wilds of America on a daily basis.  I feel like a lot of the people considered "overweight" these days are actually obese.  I also think that a lot of people considered to be a "healthy weight" are actually overweight.  I really hate when "small fats" act like they are in peak physical condition simply because they are smaller than the average beast these days.  Maybe I just have higher standards than most people, but just my two cents on the issue.
