I visit family in other states and I get comments like "I can't believe you are so thin." For context I am a healthy weight and I eat what I consider a reasonable diet. I sit and smile while I watch them drink soda and eat pure sugar and salt. I don't care about your life choices but don't act surprised by someone that's a normal weight.
How does your 20% compare to other nations?
It varies
I'd like to see this on county level like voter maps.
Curious how cities and rural look compared to each other within a state, and how rural in low average states look across.
For example is LA just so skinny and populous it hides that rural California is as bad as rural Oklahoma?
You know the answer. Venn diagram is a circle.
Time to add another hole to the Bible belt.
The colour scheme exaggerates this a little bit. 20-some isn't that different from 30-some.
When I returned from Asia and landed in Denver I was shocked by how fat everyone is now. I swear I could've counted the number of obese people in East Asia on one hand but in the Denver airport I think it would be safe to say about 80% of the people there were noticeably obese. It certainly isn't due to a lack of food in Asia, they practically force feed you in China.
It very much depends which gate you're looking at. There are a whole lot of people flying through Denver to get somewhere else; not everyone in DIA is from Colorado. As someone from Denver, I can say for sure that the airport has a whole lot more fat people than you see out and about.
Are you Asian? (Don't feel pressured to answer this)
The reason I ask is that according to the CDC Asian obesity is almost non existent. I think this has to do with culture and racially motivated pressure. In the US there is a stereotype of Asians being perfect and smart. That actually comes from the time right after the US interment camps. The idea was that Asians coming out of the camps should be "good little Asians." I wonder if the pressure put on Asians has to do with them not being overweight. I personally used to know an Asian kid in high school who was almost driven to suicide because all the teachers expected more from him because of his race. He was extremely ADHD but couldn't get any help as he was told that Asians are smart.
I think that stereotype is also partially driven by immigration selection pressures: those that were able to immigrate would statistically skew towards higher income earners or those that have had higher education. The parents themselves are going to hold higher expectations of their kids due to their own achievements.
Sorry to hear about your friend. I'm not sure to what degree you knew him, but that's horrible :(
When people comment about my weight I just turn it back on them. I'm not anxious about my weight so it's easy to just be like, "You look like you're eating enough for both of us!"
Sorry, but when people complain about obesity and talk about how easy it is for them to be healthy, all I think about is my brother. He eats more than me and isn't any more active than me, but hes borderline underweight and can't keep weight on to save his life. YES, people don't take care of themselves, I know, that's not my point. At my most active, most healthy eating part of my life, the best shape I've ever been, I was still considered overweight, so forgive me for rolling my eyes at this.
Yeah, the skinniest couple I know eats candy and taco bell all day long (they're approaching 30 so that teen metabolism is long gone). They're not unusually active or anything, just thin. My husband is thin and has basically zero regard for his diet. Southern amounts of butter on everything. I'm much more careful than him, I enjoy plain veggies as snacks (as opposed to his pastries) and I'm ten pounds more than him at 7 inches shorter than him.
It’s not hard to stay skinny/lose weight while eating sugar/fast food. At one point I was doing intermittent fasting - I had 1 slice of cake a day and it was delicious. I just ate that slice and I lost weight.
I eat fast food a lot and people have this perception about me but the reality is I only usually eat one meal a day so overall I'm not overeating. Admittedly it's terrible nutritionally but my living arrangement limits my options.
Im not trying to be mean or anything, but how active and how healthy were you eating at that time?
I realize some people struggle more than others.
I'm mostly talking about the extreme obesity.
thats just big boned
I’ve only visited Colorado once, during my cross country road trip maybe 10 years ago (I’ve since left the US) and loved it there. I did notice how much healthier/thinner everyone was. I was in Boulder for 2-3 days and did a couple day hikes. Everyone was very friendly. I would love to live there. As someone who’s on the higher side of normal weight, I’ve never felt so unfit.
Is this OP's way of asking the rest of us to send OP holiday snacks ?
Do you need food OP ?
Coding data in color is a pet-peeve of mine. As a colorblind person, maps like this are nearly useless to me.
Don't worry, this particular map is just as useless for everyone.
There is an ISO somewhere that sets out color blind colors for accessibility.
