Silver lining, overweight is trending down!
Go big or go home!
Silver lining
Is it though?
Whoosh!!!
We are at the lowest level of overweightness on record.
You know, we really need more highway lanes and more cars, we should really get everyone engaged with technology, consumers can decide for themselves if cheap and readily available heavily processes sugary, fatty, salty foods are what they prefer to eat.
Huh, why is everyone so fat?
Source? This graph seems made up as fuck.
In reality “only” around 41.9% of US citizens are considired obese. That is stillbhuge and rising.

Yeah, that’s what the chart says, and about 40% are oveweight
Yea except it makes no menrion of the moebidly obese numbers.
It does, it just calls it extreme instead of morbid.
Also only goes to ~2015
This graph is objectively incorrect which does a disservice to the real problem it’s intended to address. This is misinformation.
I want both of you to elaborate. I don’t think anyone is denying obesity rates are doing up, but the graph doesn’t seem like a good way to show this? It doesn’t even include healthy weight people.
Aren’t healthy weight people the white space above the line?
Scale goes from 0 to 100% so yes I’d say you’re correct, minus maybe anorexic people.
That’s also me but only because I like fat chicks
Huh. TIL the vast majority of Americans are unhealthy as fuck.
It’s actually kinda absurd that this is 80% of people. That’s a ridiculous statistic.
Ridiculous as in untrue or ridiculous that we as american’s have let our society get here?
Untrue. BMI is a 200 year-old linear algorithm invented by a drug salesman.
What’s more ridiculous is what’s considered “overweight” since it’s just based on BMI, which itself is just based on height and weight.
You really think a significant proportion are likely to be bodybuilders?
That yellow/orange line is calling me out personally.
