Americans are way too fat

reply

I agree, it's a really large problem.

Yeah relating back go koob poll about scarcity vs abundance. Americans have access to so much food and look a 3rd of the nation can’t control their eating habits.

reply

Not just abundance of food, but also an abundance of convenience. Everything is extremely easy, there's less reason to move around. Not many people are skipping meals because they don't have time.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but people need to change how make decisions.

reply

You are right. When humans have false idea of abundance they get fat lazy and purse ideas that makes zero sense.

If times were hard the women on only fans would have million dollar incomes for just showing their feet

See whatcha did there!

This is a bit surprising because working out burns very few calories, obesity come from over eating.

I wonder if this could mean that a larger population of health conscious people means gyms are more profitable.

So skinny people mean you need more gyms, and not the opposite.

Look at you thinking about selection bias. The answer is almost always selection bias.
