Cheap food is higher in fat and sugar than more expensive food. If mom's would stay home and cook good meals and everybody put their computer away and go outside, we would be in better shape.

They're not sorry, but they should be.... #FattiePropaganda

And it wouldn’t be a compete week on TD without a thread about obese and disgusting people.
Oh yeah, and checking out fat people in the restroom? Is this your fetish?

It’s an epidemic. Not only parents but the children as well.

It’s not just America. Anywhere that has abundance of food and a high obese percentage.

So going by that figure, even California has 25% of the population obese. That's not really that much better than the south. It's better but it's not like they don't have plenty of fatties too.

Coastal areas vs the interior are completely different worlds.

Yup. Americans eat too much fat and too many carbs, when in reality we should be eating one or the other.
And when I say carb, I mean whole, unprocessed carbs.

I'd have to guess certain areas skew the % there as well. You're hard pressed to find nearly as many obese people in San Diego, Los Angeles, etc.
Oddly, I read something a while back about Hispanic communities in CA having a big obesity issue that is growing. Really goes to show that poverty has a huge hand.

Not unless you mean acceptance of the same types of food that's making people fat all over the US.
Like another poster said, just looking back at old pictures. People in the South were eating all kinds of rich, fatty foods...and were not overweight anywhere near the numbers today.

I have always maintained the theory that people in big cities and in Europe especially, are healthier because they can walk or ride a bike to get to their place of work, shopping, etc. If you live anywhere in the south or heartland of America, the only way to get around is to drive from point A to point B, due to everything being so spread out.

Mexico, UK, and a lot of countries in the Middle East and small islands are coming in hot and heavy.
I think on a per capita basis, a lot of ME countries are in the top 15.
There’s also not been a single country in the world that has been able to lower obesity rates. Slow it down maybe but the world continues to get fatter and fatter and it’s sad.

Sugar sweetened beverages are a major culprit. We're drinking more calories now than we're eating, and those calories are from straight refined sugar.
Yup. When people want to lose weight, my first suggestion is drink only calorie free liquids.

I'm sure that every state has areas that skew. LA has a 23% rate, still not good. San Fran was about 15% which is pretty good.

Look at HS and college yearbooks before about 1990. People are nearly all normal weight, and the few fat people aren't that fat by today's standards. They're thinner the further back you go. People from the fifties look practically emaciated.
In other, word the average soldier in WW2 weighed about 10 lbs less than the average American adult woman today, and the average WWI soldier weighed nearly 20 lbs less.

b) The average height of the inductees of World War II was 68.1 inches and their average weight was 150.5 pounds. (c) The inductees of World War II were on the average 0.6 inches taller and 8.9 pounds heavier than those of World War I [3, 4].
