Most Americans think eating garbage food is a good thing. These people don't like vegetables but they love their junk food.
For me vegetables are delicious. I don't understand why these obese people don't care about dropping dead and I don't understand why they like to eat garbage.
A big problem is America's junk food industry. They like to advertise their disgusting crap for children. The victims learn how to be morons. This is genocide and the assholes are getting away with it.
Wikipedia - Obesity in the United States
Obesity in the United States is a major health issue, resulting in numerous diseases, specifically increased risk of certain types of cancer, coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, as well as significant increases in early mortality and economic costs.
An obese person in the United States incurs an average of $1,429 more in medical expenses annually. Approximately $147 billion is spent in added medical expenses per year within the United States. This number is expected to increase approximately $1.24 billion per year until the year 2030.[1]
From 23% obesity in 1962, estimates have steadily increased. 2019 figures from the CDC found that more than one-third (36.5%) of U.S. adults age 20 and older[2] and 17% of children and adolescents aged 2–19 years were obese.[3] A second study from the National Center for Health Statistics at the CDC showed that 39.6% of US adults age 20 and older were obese as of 2015-2016 (37.9% for men and 41.1% for women).[4]
Obesity in an adult is defined as a BMI of 30 and above. Overweight in an adult is defined as a BMI of greater than 25 and less than 30, (so 25.01-29.9999). For children, obesity is defined as BMI 95th percentile or greater for gender/age on a growth chart and overweight is defined as BMI 85th percentile to 94.999th%.[5]
Overweight or obese: For the following statistics, adults is defined as age 20 and over. The overweight + obese percentages for the overall US population are higher reaching 39.4% in 1997, 44.5% in 2004,[6] 56.6% in 2007,[7] 63.8% (adults) and 17% (children) in 2008,;[8][9] in 2010 65.7% of American adults and 17% of American children are overweight or obese, and 63% of teenage girls become overweight by age 11.[10] In 2013 the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found that 57.6% of American citizens were overweight or obese. The organization estimates that 3/4 of the American population will likely be overweight or obese by 2020.[11] A forecast based on early long-term trends suggests that more than 85% of adults will be overweight or obese in the U.S. by 2030.[12]
Obesity has been cited as a contributing factor to approximately 100,000–400,000 deaths in the United States per year[13] and has increased health care use and expenditures,[14][15][16][17] costing society an estimated $117 billion in direct (preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services related to weight) and indirect (absenteeism, loss of future earnings due to premature death) costs.[18] This exceeds health care costs associated with smoking[17] and accounts for 6% to 12% of national health care expenditures in the United States.[19]
