I really don’t care anymore. Remember when we were worried about undernourished children?

What, you mean that low-fat diet that the government has been preaching (and awful low-fat food we've been eating as a result) doesn't work?!?!?

The hell you say!

It really sucks living in America, and even worse being an American, because we are so good at producing food that hunger is virtually unknown. Who knows what evil is committed in the operation of farms and food factories? Stupid immigrants who come here in droves don’t realize how bad things are. They are going to get fat, and it is all our fault. We must immediately stop making and eating food, and apologize to the rest of the world for making them look bad for being skinny and hungry all the time.

Fat little butter balls.
Munching Debbie Cakes.
Paid for by food stamps.
Staring motionless for hours at an iphone.

There are at least 7 lakes around this property not including the river. My youth was spent at those lakes and at that river, all day long.
The kids around here now don’t even know the lakes are there.
Sad sad shame.

Kids can’t go hunt chickadees with BB guns, play pond hockey, swim in a lake without a floatie and a lifeguard, build log cabins or fish, or even have paper routes anymore like many of us did as kids.

Helps explain why we have the best medical care in the world but still a high sickness and mortality rate....

Here in California I see tons (literally) of fat Mexican kids. Mexican kids in Mexico eat the same kinds of food as Mexican kids in California, but the portion sizes here are much larger.

Remember when the Soialist Democrats sold Congress the idea that children did poorly in school because of hunger? So free breakfast was added to free lunch and in some states, free food for after school and during summer vacation. How did that turn out? The children are fatter and stupider than ever. We can only dream of the SAT scores of the ‘60s, and type 2 diabetes is an epidemic among our fat next generation. The government ruins everything it touches.

How they gathered these data is not made clear - I read the whole thing 2x and don't see any mention of where the data come from.

That makes me a bit skeptical.

Diet and nutrition. It's not like Koreans and Japs are doing more running around. France and Belgium have a food culture that is different, as well.

Mexico, New Zealand, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland...'Americanized' food portions and diet.

What else to expect from a culture that has no self respect or self discipline

Higher income wives are under pressure to be thin

That’s about it

Orientals aside from Filipinos seem to stay thinner which is weird considering how fat Amerindians are

If you’re my age you see dozens of obese folks daily that you would have only seen once a year in my youth

Higher altitude areas and hot chick areas seem to resist the fattiness

It’s really amazing

I’m in Nashville baggage claim

I’m gonna do a count......

About 25% obese

Less than I figured

< unPC > We are being overrun by Hispanics which tend to be shorter and squatter then other traditional ethnic groups currently residing in the USA. This is changing the data. < /unPC >

They never break the data down by race.....

In Japan, with an indoor-oriented youth culture that basically plays video games and watches anime all day, and with its high-carb diet of rice and noodles, you would think it have a big obesity problem like the US. But Japan has the lowest amount of obesity on the chart (4%). How come?

This report has to be 100% wrong. I know because every day I am bombarded by ads claiming huge numbers of Americans are suffering from hunger. The Hunger Task Force and AARP are all screeching about starving Americans.

So who should I believe: a detailed analysis and my own eyes about fat Americans or leftist do-gooders claiming millions of starving Americans?
