It's sad that these people put our country to shame in this way. The problem is that we, as a society, have changed and have started to condone sedentary lifestyles and over-eating. Also, our government subsidizes corn, which makes it so that corn syrup is in everything. It appears that Britain is also experiences the same fate. It is a symptom of wealth and surpluses in everything.

2/3 of this board is probably overweight

they think lifting is a substitute for cardio or just not eating so much

Actually ya it's pretty bad. I'm from Arizona and don't really see it that much but I'm in a mountain town. Although most the females that aren't in the gym I see seem to be over weight.

I don't get it, how did America's waistline skyrocket in the span of thirty years??

It really doesn't make sense to me. What major event happened that made everyone fat? I know it's not just America that has gotten fat as hell since the 80s, but unlike the Persian Gulf countries we've been wealthy and have had top living standards for quite a while.

>>40967878
Accessability of shit foods has skyrocketed. People assume a Dutch Bros coffee is coffee and doesn't have as much sugar and more saturated fat than a fatass dlice of cake. That and parents are objectivly getting worse at their job of raising children. With the increased cost of living most coupled parents have both parnters working with little time for feeding and raising children.

You can partially blame feminists who got tricked into the workforce. Prices skyrocketed and wages stayed the same with twice the potential workers. This leads to both parents working full time, with no time for kids.

Tl;dr parents are shit and they're shit cause economics, and the fast food industry is making off like bandits due to lack of education and bad dietary habits.

>>40966684
This was a well thought out response. Good job, anon.

>>40967878
Internet became normieware, meaning the availability of cheap, interactive entertainment that didn't require getting up and moving exploded.

Combine that with the death of the housewife and the increase in fast food and career families, and you get a generation of people that didn't learn how to cook, don't have to go outside to be entertained, and can afford calorie dense but not satiating foods on the cheap. Snacking culture is huge now.

Of course, these are generalizations.

>>40968109
It's just pathetic. There is no excuse for being 300lbs. No matter how busy you are, you can choose a healthier meal over KFC or what other garbage Americans like.
"learning how to cook" boils down to understanding how to handle a knife and learning how to cook 3-4 types of meat. The rest is just side/garnish and is easy as fuck. No one expects you to cook like Gordon Ramsay.

And you don't have to go anywhere actually. You can stay at home in your free time and just do some yoga or buy a treadmill. The issue is that convenience and laziness won over everything else and instead of trying to fix it, people try to cuddle it so nobodies feelings get hurt. It's over for US, in terms of health and global image.

Are you trying to conflate gaining weight with being fat? Someone fit in their 40s tend to weigh more in their 60s even if they haven't gone full fat mode

>>40966684
Another issue is the standards are dropping. I'm not sure which is the cause and which is the effect, but when people at a normal BMI and healthy BF% are considered "skinny" something is fucking wrong.

I was obese at one point and didn't even think about it. I thought I was just a bit overweight. 6'4" 245lbs. I'm glad I got out of the mindset of "I'm just a big guy". Now I'm just overweight (231), but if I say I'm fat people tell me I'm not. I'm literally 1/4 fat and that's not considered fat by some people? Fuck body positivity, I'm a fat disgusting fuck.

>but at least 3/4 of /fit/ are in good shape

AHAHAHAHA

>being this delusional

At least 80 % of /fit/ is 18+% bf permabulk mode. People posting in the CBT are in the tiny minority. Most are too fat to post and don't.

>>40968997
Literally how would you even begin to prove that

I'm fat and I only recently stopped drinking.
I lifted and avoided cardio.

>>40966684
>britain is also experiences the same fate

I like in the uk and Ive never seen someone as fat as ops pic in my entire life

I think that when people compare the us and uk they just look at the amount of obese people. america needs a new category for being over weight. if you compared the number of "mega obese" people then you would see that the us is far worse

>>40969026

Body fat estimation threads

Fatties are embarrassed to post in CBT. They WILL post in bf% estimate threads because they're too dumb to get calipers.

In the CBT, it's the same 5 trips every thread. In the bf% threads, it's a BUNCH if new people every time, with a bunch of non picture posters talking about how they're 18+% and cutting for summer. Every. Fucking. Year. They never make it.

Colorado has the 15 round mag cap "ban" that has a million exceptions that make it essentially a joke, apart from that they're largely uncucked.

>company does a health kick thing where you can get some small bonuses for being "fit" or working toward it
>I get listed as obese because of my BMI

I know people like me are a small minority, but it's infuriating that those old shitty metrics like BMI are still around when I'm the strongest, best looking dude in my office.

>>40969108
surely if they can see that, they would put you in the healthy category anyway? you can just talk to the person running it. unless its automated data input type shit

People tend to get fat when they lack responsibility and impulse control

Not evil, just sociopaths, there's a difference. Sociopaths lack impulse control and empathy, it doesn't mean they're evil, though they are more capable of it.

Good post, I agree with every point except for it being a symptom of wealth and surplus. Most other first world countries(eg: Canada, and most of Europe) are just as wealthy and have just as much of a surplus, yet they don't have an obesity problem.

>>40967173
>travel to the south
I've been south of the Mason-Dixon line exactly once in my life. Never again.

>>40971544
Canada and Western Europe are experiencing a similar rise in obesity, just on a smaller scale (kek).

Also they're wealthy, but not "just as wealthy" as the US.
