We are fat because the media says we are. The truth is that one could not visually discern the difference between any western developed nation in terms of obesity prevalence in the population. The differences are so slight, one needs a scientific analysis of the data to prove it.
Those photos they show of fat people’s rear ends on the news could be taken anywhere.
Go to youtube and look at the videos from the 50’s. People were skinny then. Look at the Soul Train videos. Even the black teens were skinny. Look at pictures of our soldiers during WWII. They were very skinny.
Last week I was out in Southern California. I have never seen so many fat teens and early 20’s women. And they were wearing skin tight clothes and covered with tats. It was interesting - none of them seemed to be aware that they were grossly overweight. Granted, many of them were Mexican and that’s a genetic thing but it can’t be healthy.
