The bigger the truck they drive, the fatter and unhealthier they are.

2 slices for the adults
2 slices for the 6 year old, but he likely can’t eat it all anyway
1 slice each for the two younger ones
Honestly the side is really just lagniappe and not needed
So I can really feed the family on the 6.99 medium pizza.

I really don't want to take up for the fatties, but some single guy lecturing a working family of 5 about how easy it is to cook and exercise daily isn't going to go over well 
it just reads like some ranter screaming at college coaches about how easy football is

I suspect my farming ancestors were able to eat whatever they wanted and burned those calories off easily during the day. Not so when you sit behind a keyboard
But they also dealt with massive nutritional deficiencies that manifested themselves in several ways, but most notably height, which saw a decrease after the Neolithic Revolution and did not increase, on average, until the Second Agricultural Revolution.

Our problem is that we will never have cities set up like the Europeans do where everything is centralized and public transportation is actually worth the investment.
This is a policy choice that we've made since the 1950s. We destroyed absolutely beautiful architectural elements of US cities for freeways and no amount of data or arguments is going to convince anyone in the US that the way we have designed cities in the US represents a massive departure from the way humans have lived in cities.

They should. It's part of the normalization process of an obesity spectrum. These people will eventually be obese as well.

It takes far more work now to simply do what was easy and natural for centuries of humans before
Because for most of human history, housing was multi-generational, with high birth and death rates, and thus plenty of family members available to help with specific tasks. The time period we are living through right now is relatively novel in terms of how small families are and how disconnected we are as well. Even nuclear families in the past were generally larger.

We have unhealthy stress filled lifestyles. We work too many hours and don’t have time for leisure.

Can't exercise your diet away
Yes you can, I do it. I eat whatever I want and I’m in better shape than 99% of the people who are saying that it can’t be done. You’re either working out improperly, not hard enough, or you’re sedentary for the majority of your day if you’re overweight but “active”. If you work an active job and exercise hard on a daily basis, as humans were meant to do, it’s literally impossible to be fat

Our lives are so easy most of us have to go to a gym to simulate hard (physical) work....

Ever seen a fat postman that walks? What about a fat construction worker? Fat nurses? Powerlifters? Strongmen? Chunky MMA fighters? Boxers? I can keep going and going.

The fact that you think these professions qualify as “active” says a lot about our society
ETA: but no, I’ve never actually seen a fat construction laborer anywhere except in a comedy movie

Yea man, because the vast majority of MMA fighters and boxers aren’t chiseled out of stone or anything. My hobby is combat sports and out of the hundreds of people I’ve trained with over the years, I can name 4 or 5 that are legitimately fat and weren’t actively losing weight. And have you ever actually seen an elite powerlifter or strongman work out? They do a set of 2 reps every 20 minutes, it’s not exactly what I’d consider healthy or intense exercise
The only reason you see fat MMA or boxing pros like Roy Nelson and Tyson Fury is that they’re so good they don’t have to work hard anymore or expend any energy beating the shite out of people. They’re anomalies bud. Your argument holds zero weight and you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I just got back from Europe. I would rather be fat than eat the garbage that they eat.

So by your logic, you so bad at everything you can out-train bad diets? Truly remarkable.

But also is it laziness?
I think this plays a big factor. People sit in an a cool office all day and get into a habit of not being active.
Did we have as many big people in the 70-80s? There was fast food then. I know people probably eat it more today, but kids were not sitting inside all day playing video games.
And let's face it, Americans are lazy as frick. You have people who would rather wait 10 mins for an elevator than go up two flights of stairs and get to where they are going in a minute. There needs to be more labor intense jobs, but those jobs come from producing shite, which we don't do... We are a consuming society and that includes food...
