American wtf

i'm little obssesed by americans these months, i like usa so nothing wrong with this.
apparently more than half of americans are overweight, how it is even possible?
are americans people in large part germans?
becausy in germany the percentage of obesity is way lower, i always think this was just a meme!
apparently the people who i talk on Sup Forums are for 3/4 overweight

EXPLAIN
i don't want to be rude btw

you believe statistics made by jews?

>apparently more than half of americans are overweight, how it is even possible?


We can afford food.

burgers

what the fuck don't you get

A lot of the statistics for obese people are comprised of the lower economic class (mexicans and blacks).

>denying that most of his multi - culti burger eating tribe is overweight
>blaming the jews without proof

Flag checks out.

Mexicans and blacks and old people.

Plenty of thin young people in america. Plenty of gym goers too.

Yes, there are tons of fat ass people here. It's because we are so rich and awesome and have all the best food.

USA! USA! USA!

>obesity is considered an epidemic
First world problems.

You really thought it was a meme? Yes about half of us are obese. It's not uncommon for a woman to be taller laying on her back.

The other half are the prettiest people in the world though.

i guess is ok, enjoy your freedom then

I think there was a big slump in the 90's and 00's. Fitness is back in again like it was in the 80's.

It's the lifestyle and number of racial minorities.

Blacks and lower class whites have the highest obesity rates, it's the result of a sedentary lifestyle and eating a lot of processed and fast foods. The memes are real my friend many many fat Americans unfortunately, and it actually isn't the Jews fault this time.

There's a lot of answers to this that Sup Forums will oblige you with that.

In america we subsidize the shit out of certain crops. It started back in the early cold war as a way to prove that capitalism could feed more mouths than communism. But blanket subsidies inadvertently favor certain foods. Sugar was one of them, and now its honestly cheaper to buy desert items than bread.

There's another problem of health awareness that largely stems from academia's lackadaisical attitude to repeated studies. Industries that are interested in protecting cheaper products will subsidize favorable research. The last ( I think it's been 30?) years have sent researchers down the path that fat was the main cause of obesity, but reviewing old studies doesn't give you a paper like a new breakthrough would. So, common wisdom holds, and people get deathly overweight off of 'reduced fat oreos'.

It's difficult to dislodge this problem; culturally Americans see government as more of an obstacle to freedom than a enabler so it is easier companies tell the government what to do, not the other way around. That said, it's the governments fault we're even here in the first place.


TLDR; Reckless government subsidies birthed an industry more interested in perpetuity than protecting american health and Americans are OK with this because muh freedoms.

i dont know how people get fat t b h

its a bitch for me just to hit 2.5k-3k cal every day even when lifting

And we don't walk around everywhere like yuropoors.

holy shit are you me?
the only way i had to take kg is go to gym
is terrible for a male

>are americans people in large part germans?
This is exaggerated. The English impact is still the most significant, and we inglesi can get quite fat if given the "right" circumstances. Might be a palaeolithic inheritence, for surviving the winters!

We're a rich country and a massive country. There's also an overabundance of food.
Mind you we also have the most olympic gold medals of any nation and some of the worlds best athletes.
It's called freedom

Blacks are the primary reason for this statistic. They are vastly overweight compared to other races in the country, but when you lump everyone together and average it out it makes it seem like everyone is overweight. Not saying there aren't overweight people of other races, because there are, but if you compare just white people in the USA to white people in other countries you'll find them to be similar.

Yeah I used to not understand this but obese people actually have a damaged brain, much like a crack addict. They really need psychological and physical recovery which is hard to do on your own.

I wouldn't blame subsidized crops or academia, I mean we have to recognize that people choose the food they eat and have developed an addiction to unhealthy food and lack the discipline to exercise.

The German impact is in 6ft farmboy quarterbacks

This, see pic related. Though, to be fair, that doesn't excuse the large number of fat whites even compared to other countries.

Corn is subsidized, and therefore cheap. So big companies instead of using real sugar or ingredients of flavor, they put corn syrup in E V E R Y T H I N G even bread. Very calorie dense and unhealthy, and hard to avoid.

I swear to fuck. Why is it Europeans, Italians, and Grecian people always talk about Americans weight?

Italians and people from Greece have fatter girls and boys than Americans by 14-19%.

I'm actually obese but ok

Getting drunk every other day

Don't listen to anyone else. Americans just eat all fucking day. At work, at home, in the car, they just keep eating. Of course they'll look for 100 reasons why it's the government's fault. In the end it's just horrible personal choices

Leave your house, look around, you know it to be true

there are positive aspect in your situation?

LOL American obesity actually is one of the few things you can't blame the Jews for. Ashkenazi American Jews are actually much healthier than whites, probably relating to IQ and wealth.

The healthiest whites in America are Mormons and white Seventh Day Adventists as a result of their diet and lifestyle.

Like most "America doing so bad!" statistics it's mostly niggers and spics.

a bunch of reasons

americans work some of the longest hours in the world, and quick/easy unhealthy food is always readily available

also, the way our country is built, cars and driving are literally the only option for a lot of people, cutting out 30 min to an hour of casual walking

you also have corporate food scientists who literally make food as addicting as possible. this shit makes up 60% of what's on grocery shelves.

then portion size is out of control. this is a depression era sales gimmick that never really got rolled back. boomers grew up always wanting a "good deal" on food.

there's also arguments that the FDA is run by big interest groups, but i'm not going to type that essay.

also alcohol consumption.

It is 100% the governments fault.

Rumeno please tornate a casa tua

no :^)

I've heard this argument before, but we're comparing the differences across countries. If you really do embrace that it's a matter of individual discipline, you would think that a country obsessed with individualism would have more healthy individuals.

The truth is, that for most people in any country, convenience is the deciding factor in lifestyle. And if SO MANY more people are obese in America than in other countries, its certainly more likely that eating like a pig is more convenient.

I mean it really isn't that inconvenient to eat healthy food, it's really quite easy. I would say it's primarily a cultural issue that so many white Americans eat unhealthy. It's not hard to get a salad at McDonald's or make your lunch before going to work.

Corporations don't force people to eat high fructose corn syrup the government doesn't make someone decide to not exercise, we as a culture have simply decided to not give a fuck about our health.

"apparently more than half of americans are overweight, how it is even possible?"
** The American food markets are flooded with toxic gmo and chemically laden foods. Most American mindlessly eat this filth instead of clean organic foods and so they are disease ridden and obese. America has an "obesity epidemic"!! European foods are cleaner and there is much more regulations of gmo; Russia even bans gmo completely.
"are americans people in large part germans?"
**Yes, I'm pretty sure Germans constitute the majority of euro immigrants here but most don't really care about which european nation they're from cause Americans are Euro mixes

Convenience is more than your ability to show up at a store, I mean we can factor in price, familiarity, how much food you can save afterwords, delivery time, oh the list goes on.

Lets work with the McDonald example. A southwest salad is $4.79 and a Bacon Clubhouse Burger is $4.59. Even if we discount taste (since its hard to argue how taste factors into convenience) I could feasibly buy more hamburgers than salads. In fact, I think a regular cheeseburger is just a dollar.

No one's forcing anyone to do anything, but prices influence decision making. And institutions like governments and companies will influence decisions by making options cheaper. If you don't believe that, then capitalism mean nothing to you and my argument is invalid.

Kys rumeno di merda, you aren't italian and you never will be
