Yeah, I think it's just suburban car culture. If people had to walk everywhere, that would help a lot. When I lived in Spain for half a year a long time ago, I remember thinking the 40-50 year old women were really in shape.
It is strange that we don't walk anywhere. I live in the in the middle of everything and rarely walk.
I think the walking is one aspect of the fitness but in general I think it's just overeating. I've been all over Europe and it's not like people eat noticeably healthier, they just don't eat as much. Some people we hung out with in Switzerland thought the idea of "snacking" was odd. An Italian friend (from Italy) has said similar things. They eat a couple of small "meals" for breakfast and lunch, and then a large meal for dinner right before bed. That's it. There's no snacking in between. And they don't drink much cola, unless it's at a meal, and even then it's not often.

Why don't you drink the zero sugar stuff? Tastes the same.
Sodas are gross IMO though. I just drink water with the true lemon packets

Portion sizes in the US are out of fu**ing control. Everywhere. Short of a fine dining establishment where you are ordering a la carte, every restaurant you go to will drop 1600-1800 calories on you without effort. Add in soda, dessert, booze, etc...
Eating well is an effort, IMO, and most people don't put any (healthy) effort into their meals. It's also culturally ingrained. I had to teach myself how not to cook like a coonass, b/c that's all I was ever taught. And that's a diet for a fatass, in general.

Because you're going to have diabetes and heart problems and rack up 100k in medical bills. You're also going to bitch about how things aren't made for you because you're 300 lbs and inconvenience everyone else.

I don't really drink coke/soda much anymore, I'm mostly kidding. But when I do, I want to drink a real coke. I will say the new zero is pretty decent, but nonetheless, it definitely doesn't taste the same.
In reality I pretty much only drink water, coffee unsweet tea and beer.

I visited manhattan earlier this year and i legit didnt see a single fat person. Times square, battery park, all the touristy shite. No fatsos in sight
They walk everywhere up there and it shows. The human body was made for locomotion, and really needs it to maintain

Exactly. Eat less and move more. It isn't difficult.

How do you think I feel. I'm recently divorced trying to find a black woman but 80% are either obese or overweight (actual stat, not pulling this out of my arse). I basically have to narrow down the pool of 20% by location, education, no kids, attractiveness, employment, assets, attitude, etc. I may as well give up and start looking for an Asian woman.

Welcome to America, the fat country of the world. Think about it. Only food commercials you see are fast food crap, a lot of poverty which means, people only eat that cheap disgusting food EVERY meal. We treat symptoms due to the lovely pharmacuetical market (not wanting to fix the problem), just mask the symptoms and push drugs drugs drugs because money is all they care about. Its not that hard to understand.

Other populations with similar industrial densities do not reflect the high cancer incidence observed in La's "cancer alley". Socioeconomic influences and cultural norms with regard to food and lifestyle are the primary differences observed between said populations.
Sorry for the hijack...grad paper I had to do. Was surprised by the results as well.

Volod basically started this thread.
I think the moral of the story was those ladies are looking for OT ballers, not you.

Minimum 40 lbs? That’s a lot
15-25 lbs average wouldn’t surprise me a bit
