If Trump were running the show each of these instances would be wall to wall coverage for months. Instead, the left seems to think our reputation on the global stage no longer maters. 🤡🌎

ya I wouldn't normally trust china but it's inline with asian anatomy and physiology

but there seems to be a massive fat difference between urban and non urban areas (urban is a lot fatter)

I'm also referring to dumb metrics we use here like BMI. I'm 6'3" and have been in great shape at 205 and great shape at 240. The doctors would say I'm obese bases on their BMI charts and my body fat is pretty close to 10%.

I have no idea how the Chinese measure it, but I'm guessing there's very little consistency.

From pure observation, the trends you're talking about are probably accurate, but I like to b*tch about methodology.

Yea BMI is just a rough measure that often fails with edge cases. Read somewhere about a 260-lb bear-looking barrel-bodied guy who competes seriously as a triathlete and if judged only by his BMI one might think he's a sedentary junk-food inhaler.

It's like they're not smart enough to realize that some people actually lift weights.

I know a few of those barrel-bodied guys. One of the props on my old rugby team was 5'10" 260+ and was an actual marathon runner. Dude was a brick sh*thouse.

oh right I forgot that BMI is a thing

ya I'm overweight according to BMI but I'm definitely not

best thing to do is find some online calculator that you input body measurements into along with your weight

Nah, I'll just use a mirror.

Somewhat related; About 5 years ago, I was ordering some undergarments for my drysuit (scuba diving thing) from a European company. I'm normally an XL or XXL. I needed up having to send back their XXL and XXXL before settling on the XXXXL to finally get a fit.

Apparently, Euro men are a lot skinnier than we are.
