Statistics like this are precisely the reason I'm too scared to recover from my eating disorder (I'm anorexic) — I'm afraid that if I overcome my eating disorder, I will eventually become overweight, as the majority of normal people are overweight.
Are you sure it not more than 4 out of 5 ? I think it’s a lot higher than that!
I live in small town Ohio and it’s a real thing. Heart breaking.

We all gain weight as we get older. Back in 1982 as a 16 years old male, I weighed 126 pounds at 5’6â€ÂÂ. Now I weigh 136 at 54 years old. It not easy to shed that 10 pounds. You just have to accept it and used that extra pounds as a muscle.
Good job once again to the "Greatest country in the world!".
I'm 300lbs of muscle
Im stumped wondering why they used 4 in 10 instead of 2 in 5
Mid section obesity is a common result of a CBD deficiency in the diet,
consuming raw cannabis was arguably an evolutionary necessity, as poo
smells bad for evolutionary survival reasons, weed smells good for the
same type of reasons.
Wow
God bless america
Fat person here! Piss off with your judgmental comments. Not all of us are just lazy and stuffing our faces with McDonald’s all day. If anything the weight gain is probably because of all the bs diets we cycle through
NOM NOM NOM! OH NO IM OUT OF OREOS! OFF TO DOLLAR GENERAL!
Got to go to work and report Something!! 🤷ðŸÂ¼â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
Get on some ADHD meds, lost 5kgs in the first week and my skin cleared up because of all the water one drinks
ADHD meds= legal cocaine
Great job fatties, if nothing else kills you you'll kill yourself
I can second this! my body is looking hella weird. Im watching this 3:35am eating StringCheese sticks 🙂
My 600 lb life
Whats worse is theyre either courthouse workers or corrections officers
Too much sugar, carbs and lack of exercise. Blame it on fast food.
Well most poor people are fead empty food and most times it's all they can afford so yah, just some farms use empty food to fatten livestock and poltry ( birds) ECT, because it's cheaper, that's what happens when your poor. You don't always have a choice of what food you can buy…some people even have a full time job, sometimes even good full time jobs and can't keep up the inflation, it's hard to also hold onto a job when they always need to save money by kicking people to curb even good loyal long term hard working employees are not safe …all so the CEO and top people can buy another mansion or go on more world trips or buy more experience "luxury" goods why there employees are living homeless, having to go on public assistance, losing there jobs and possibly not able to get another job…it's sad…. just so the super rich and there buddy's can say how they got there life style by there hard work alone ( not the people they're over working and underpaying) and they just tell them work harder if you can't get by it's your fault never ours….it's no wonder 4 out of 5 adults are obeas ( over wait )….so yah…
The plague is Nye, obesity is the least of my worries. Jus sayin
Ha ha ha ha. Bunch of fatties.
Only 4??
It seems 8 of 10 to me, and obese comes with puberty and ignorance.
It's not a surprise when we get all pissy if we don't have at least one type of meat on our plate for every single meal.
That means 6 in 10 arent fat tho
Fast food is everywhere….
I'm 41 this year and weigh 127lbs. I try my hardest to manage my weight because I know my metabolism slows down as l get older. In addition I deal with arthritis issues now so exercising is harder than it use to be. I think people just need to do better at choosing healthier food options and eating in moderation.
My wife was fat! Until she divorced me . Then she lost whole lot of weight, bleached her hair got a few tattoos and a suntan. LOL.
It’s the food, and lack of self love. Lay off the fast food, and learn to love yourself enough to be healthy!
Maybe Bloomberg will spin this. Remember he wanted to do away with the super size soda? He is paying heavy money to this journalist network.
So half of adults
could we see the break down by nationality?
Yes, people work more hours for less money, have less time to be home and cook, and the cost of healthy food is expensive. System is kinda rigged.
4/10 Americans obese. Yet 10/10 want free healthcare & equality when those 4 ppl will cost the most
Nothing 95.99% are overweight somehow
