Based on population trends, more than seven in every 10 people born between the early 1980s and mid-90s will be too fat by the time they reach middle age.

In comparison, about half of the "baby boomer" generation, born just after World War Two, were fat at that age.

I think you meant to say "the most beautiful and heroic". You need to check your privilege, white man.

I guess being triggered and offended doesn’t burn that many calories.

Every generation gets fatter these days. Food is just too easy to get, and fatty food at that.

Doesn't surprise me

Combining the distractions nowadays means less moving around, plus it's the instant gratification generation so more of them fall for the BS shortcut diet fads instead of the age old calories in vs calories out.

Or because unhealthy food is more readily available today than it was when boomers were kids.

Mass shootings is dumb but if you think sitting on your arse playing video games for hours on end is good for you and doesn't lead to weight gain when done routinely, you're mistaken.

I really like how in the UK, it is still called "fat." Here in the US, the word has a stigma attached to it, and other nicer words and phrases have been adopted to spare feelings.

But yes, obesity is an epidemic. Pixar had it right with the ending of Wall-E, people too fat to walk on their own and relying on levitating scooters to get around:
