Social Why Americans are so Fat

Renard said:
I have an Australian friend that visited LA for the first time with his (very fat) girlfriend. The girlfriend really hated it. I tried to fish for a reason why and he wouldn't say but he let it slip about "judgmental place" or something like that and I immediately knew it was about the girlfriend feeling inadequate. It's tough to be checked like that lol

It must be worse for women. It's the same thing in places like Bali, where I think might have the highest concentration of attractive people I've seen. Fit surfer chicks and yogis walking around in bikinis everywhere. One of my friends from Minnesota visited me there and she said she never felt so insecure.

Make it a longer “time” in the future.

No one here likes you or your long winded, half baked condescending theories. Let me guess, you’re from the UK. Fix your bloody teeth, chappie.

Oi m8, don't get your knickers in a twist. Eat some vegetables and go for a walk why don't you. Brits at least have their weather as an excuse to not go outside.
 
It's so funny seeing people get defensive about something like this. Americans are fat and that's an undeniable fact backed by statistics and simply going to your local walmart if you live in the states. Pointing out that countries have fatties too doesn't really make it better lol.

Hey bud, how about you shove your statistics up your ass?
According to the guardian, one in 10 Australian men admin to have had sex with minors.
In an article in the Sydney Morning Herald, it was declared from research that one in six Australian men have sexual feelings towards kids and teenagers.

Stats don’t lie, mate!

One thing I'll say is that people who are into fitness in the US go hard. I don't remember seeing people spending 10 minutes between sets looking at their phones like I have in some countries. Granted the gyms I went to in the states were more serious powerlifting gyms.
 
1st world problems :(

Me personally I am in great shape and 46 and still train/compete in BJJ. So I can't wrap my head around this nationwide problem. Sorry.

I haven't been to the states in some time and I forget how bad it is in the states in regards to health and obesity.

One of my good friends who's also lived abroad for years and recently moved back to Virginia has been telling me what it's like and I'm vicariously getting reverse culture shock with the shit she's telling me about how people eat and live.

One of the most shocking things my friend told me was she went out grocery shopping with her friend and friend's cousin, and the cousin who's in her mid 20s, picked up a fruit and said, "What's this?" It was like a pear or something common, not a rare exotic fruit. This grown woman only ever ate candied versions of fruit that she never seen what they actually look like.

It seems Americans have totally different conception of what "healthy" eating is. People eat shit like chicken tenders and fries all the time and think their obesity is genetic. I've met people who think I'm some kind of health freak because I eat vegetables. I even knew a guy in his 30s who had scurvy for Christ's sake.

Americans are the only group of adults I've met who have discussions about which fast food place is better.

There's no two ways about it: Americans are fat as fuck. Obesity rates in other countries are increasing but I haven't seen the giant behemoths in other countries like I have in the states. It's an entirely different class of "fat."

This must have something to do with education (or lack thereof) and laziness, to tie it in with my other thread, but I wonder if mental health plays a part as well. Why else would anyone give up on themselves to the point they can't fit in a car or need a mobility scooter? Why are we turning into depressed, low IQ, fat lazy fucks?

Other factors like lack of public transportation and over reliance on cars. Nobody walks or bikes anywhere because of the lack of infrastructure.
There really isn't a wider culture of walking or hiking or generally being active. It seemed to me that people in general were outside more in other countries, even in countries that get cold.

There also seems to be a weird extreme where people are either obsessed with fitness and looking jacked (which isn't necessarily healthy either), or they're just fat slobs.

Maybe it's because it's so much easier in the US to order something cheap and shitty than to go out to a restaurant where it'd be more expensive and you'd have to tip on top of it. Definitely easier than buying groceries and cooking yourself.

I know sherdoggers aren't the best sample size since we're all jacked 6'6 +220 lbs of muscle, but I can't be the only one who's disturbed by this?

I'm talking about American government stats on obesity with sample size in the millions and you instead pick two of the most garbage papers in the country with some made up statistics with no credibility at all, to try and smear Australians?

Don't know why you just randomly decided to be a cunt on this issue but you do you dude...
 
Giving up personal freedoms so that the Fed can dictate what we're allowed to eat? I thought people hated communism?!
 
When a lot of Americans are so poor that they sometimes have to do their grocery shopping at the Dollar Store, it's almost impossible to eat anything healthy. Then you're sad and depressed because you hate your life, so you eat your feelings away. A lot of people raise their kids on canned food, TV dinners, and fast food, and it's usually the most carb and sugar heavy stuff.

I don't think that anyone is suggesting that the government should force people to eat healthy, just to actually teach them how to be healthy and make sure they have access to healthy, non fucked up food to eat.
