    fuck off

  2. Once the patents on Wegovy etc expire, costs will go down and obesity will become rare. I think those drugs will change US society (unless it turns out to be more harmful than positive for your health long-term)

  3. USA: obesity epidemic for 30 years.     

    USA: Sees first drop in life expectancy in 100 years.    

    People on the internet: iT’s tHe MicRoPlasTiCs  

  4. CDC 2023 data has Colorado beating Hawaii by a whole point, but no Hawaii has slightly edged out the lead.

    And its because Hawaii’s rate went down, which I can’t recall happening for any other state. Usually the stats just shuffle around because some go up faster than others in a year.

  5. Dafuq, why did they Thanos snap Canada out of this.

    I don’t make me do a tiny amount of clicking to find that data, spoon feed me!

  6. Imagine the metrics the US could brag about if the red states were their own shithole country.

  7. Ireland consumes most calories per capita, weird stat don’t know what to make of it.

  8. Gives a whole new meaning to “Mountain mama”

  9. It would be more interesting if Europe was divided by their state/province/district level

  10. Related stat. In 2000 Mississippi was the most obese state in the USA. Every US state now has a higher obesity rate than 2000 Mississippi.

  11. I’m 6’4 240 and am considered as overweight and only .8 away from being obese. I am not, I just go to the gym. BMI is wack.
