For sure. America is fatter than ever. They give away so much "free" food...free school breakfasts and lunches (and in our area they started adding dinner, plus weekends, so we get to pay for that in taxes), SNAP benefits, food pantries. People are huge. I saw a stat and I am not sure if it was accurate, so I need to look into it, but it was something like 8 percent have a BMI that is considered too low. 12 Percent have a normal range BMI, and 80 percent have a BMI over 28. This was worldwide. 80 percent have a BMI over 28! How is this even possible? Do people just sit on a couch all day stuffing their faces with food?
I have been between a 21-22 BMI my entire life. I eat a lot of food that I shouldn't, but I never eat at restaurants and very rarely eat fast food (maybe once or twice a year), although I will eat healthy Subway sandwich a few times a year.
I have been relatively active my entire life.
The combination of exercise and eating out has created the large BMI's we see today. It's crazy how really inactive people are and the massive proportion of times they eat out.
high BMI is always an issue, wuflu or no
and yes, fuck CNN
