I have to wonder if people younger than myself really understand how true those numbers are. We see so many statistics offered up to support wildly different claims that a person younger than say forty might have doubts about that one.

It is true from my own observation that people are much fatter now than before. I'm suprised it is only 36%. I would have put it at 60% at least, but maybe that is observation bias.

When I was in high school, Army and College in the seventies and eighties, very fat people were rare. They were noticed. If giving a description, fat would have been the first thing mentioned. Fat kids were often picked on, and then became bullies themselves, their size giving them strength. Then in high school, when their in-shape counterparts went through puberty and gained strength themselves, the fat kids again became the targets.

Sometime after that, being fat became normal. Now, I notice when a woman is not fat. Fat women are popular, or at least no less popular than normal-sized women. There seems to be a significant percent of the male population that actually prefers fat women. Makes sense, because that is what they grew up with.

Sugar has been around for centuries without people being this fat. It's the culture of indulgeance that has made us so fat. The same culture that surrounded Henry the VIII, except now the poorest among us can afford to indulge in sweets, salt, fat, tobacco, alcohol and drugs to excess.

Processed foods are making Americans fat. Especially poor people. Being fat became normal when "convenience foods" became the most efficient and cheapest way to eat. Fat and sugar are used for flavour and that full feeling, but nutrition is destroyed. Food Inc. is killing Americans.

Supermarket deserts and the lack of good food choices are also a huge contributing factor.

They dont make them fat, people do it to themselves, I get that companies produce the junk but people have a choice. I stay away from overly processed foods, I read the ingredients and the less items in the food the better and if you can’t prounce an ingredient or don’t know what it is, look it up, you have a computer on you at all times. I will take a picture of ingredients and AI will tell me what if any nutritional value and then you can ask for healthy alternatives. Eating raw fruits and vegetables, no GMOs, organic are the best ways to go.

We as Americans make unhealthy choices.
