TL;DR; Reagan changed policy and attitudes, and immigrants tend to be shorter

What in the shit: 40.5% obesity in firefighters and police? Just… how? I wonder how they define obesity, exactly

BMI of 30.5 or more.

Yeah I guess that could explain some of that 41%, but some American cops really do seem pretty obese. Feels like firefighters likely aren't a huge part of that 41%

Anyone who's muscular without being Mr. Olympia is over that threshold. The problem here should be fitness and fast percentage and not weight as a measure proportional to your height.

Is the indicator that's wrong.
