In my area specifically only 32% of the population isn't considered overweight or obese. It's very depressing.
That's all of US. Overweight or obese is nearing 70%.
I thought my area was different, but then I checked the data and we're not too far off the median. The CDC states something like 30% of my state (Utah) is obese, which is quite surprising given how outdoorsy we are generally in this state.
I don't know the solution here, other than not becoming obese myself. I personally am right at the border between normal and overweight, and I'm trying to drop a bit to stay on the healthier end of the spectrum. What's odd is that most people call me "skinny" or "thin," when I'm actually almost overweight.
