What caused the American obesity epidemic?

Selfishness.

came here to post this

too much ham for these eggs ...

ugh, it's a pain to reply to this kind of post because it takes 3 pictures, but here we go again...

this is a chart of white obesity in the united states, it's not really any different that any other european country

That bitch has a thyroid problem

this is nig nog obesity, the white states are simply states where it wasnt measured.

chinese food conspiracy of deliciousness

nig nogs are bad, but only about 13-16 % of the US population, this is the real deal breaker, mexicans are like 20% of the US' population, and it's enough to throw our averages.

so much so that even fat fuck countries like germany and britain can look at our averages, and think they're doing well.

combine that with a little news camera magic of having a camera guy stand outside all day and film close ups of fat people, then combine it together and boom, that's all it takes to convince british people and germans that they're thin and healthy. the reality is americans are much stronger and more muscular due to a more active lifestyle than their european counterparts.

whoops left out my chart.

Stupid habits from the stupid ages "baby boomers"!

My parents would get butthurt if I didn't eat the whole "bigmac"

It seemed that back in the 80's googles had nothing to eat and now there are three times as many so I got to eat even more!!!

Unlikely.

This bitch is a total coalburner - no way she will give up all of the attention and money nogs are throwing at here.

In response to OP - a combination of cars being very cheap here, which in addition to places being located too far for walking (especially in the suburbs and rural areas) outside of most big cities causes most people to simply drive everywhere. We also put high fructose corn syrup in A LOT of our foods since farmers get money incentives from the government for harvesting it.

>Eating so many krabby patties at once

I'll be honest that gave me like a half chub.

pufas and intestinal damage. slow metabolism.

Same reason we have the highest depression rates, our lives fucking suck. It's free time, reasonable pay, family, friends. Pick 2. Then give us a bunch of subsidized corn syrup to cope.

HOLY SHIT IM A MEXICAN AND BLACK FIT ATHEIST AMERICAN FROM CALIFORNIA AND I NEED SAUCE.

Dirt cheap food packed with fat and calories combined with a sedentary lifestyle.
I went to my local ghetto grocers and found I could make a balanced diet for two for $6.50 a day. It was basic as hell but it worked

Obese?

This is average. Stop telling women they need to be sticks to be attractive.

You need to go to Europe son
Next time you leave the house, look around you
People are EXTREMELY fat IN GENERAL

Everytime i see this i assume it's fake

Alright guys, it's fake right?

DA THIQQEST

I would like to know this too

It just doesn't seem like that much fat would go to her thighs but no where else

THICC

Because fast food is cheaper than healthy food (i heard so)

its also cuz ppl eat so much

I thought it was fake until I saw some shit about her on CNN one day. Can't remember her name though

How does this even happen

There is sugar in *all* processed food.

she's real.

love.randalin

This screengrab explained it better then I could.

Cooking meals is much cheaper than buying fast food, but people are lazy as fuck here.

>obesity epidemic
It's not only America. It's whole western world.

CAPITALISM!
MURKA!
FUCK YEAH!

the top half isn't even that bad

this has got to be some kind of hormone problem

It totally sucks. All the food we eat, the water we drink and bathe in, the air we breathe, the containers we eat and drink off of are all designed to kill us.

Most people don't even look up at the sky so they don't see the poison coming down on them.

Now we add mixed gene food. Perhaps strawberries mixed with spider gene or pig genes. Perhaps even human DNA with some fruit or animal bred for food consumption.

The world's fattest man over a century ago is just a normal person walking around Wal Mart today.

We are so screwed.

>ywn eat that booty like groceries

>Look up her porn videos
>Coal burner

It's a combination of:

>The food contains shit that's making people fat. See

>The people are lazy fucks who don't want to do anything physically extraneous to combat the extra fat

>The economy makes it miraculously easy to just go get food from fast food places instead of making and preparing it. Which has the paradoxical effect of making people lazier.

>The culture has normalized being fat out of fear of hurting fatties feelings and brainwashed people into thinking it's sexually attractive so the fat fucks can reproduce more fat fucks.

Part of the solution needs to be acceptable fat shaming. It's ironic too because I've been a skinnyfag my whole life and the people who've treated me like utter shit in my life have all been fat fucks. I cut out unhealthy foods from my diet so even if I'm not working out, I don't gain much. I make that effort. I've been poor my whole life too, I've just had to eat little because I can't afford food sometimes.

I've learned to be able to go without food if I have too, meanwhile every fat person is someone who's fucking spoiled and getting more resources than they're worth.

I take the gloves off now. I'm so sick of fatties Cred Forums. The second the give me any shit now I immediately jump to reminded them what a fat fuck they are and they get SO upset and act like it's some taboo, illegal thing to say to them. Well, fat-ass maybe you shouldn't be an asshole if you don't want someone to point out your obvious flaw that's probably causing you to be an asshole?

it grinds my gears that this pig has any self-esteem simply because thirsty degenerates fetishize her repulsive body

>extended warranties on the fried chicken

Well the good thing about capitalism is we should have a choice NOT to eat those kinds of food and their should be a market alternative.

However GOVERNMENT comes in and covers up information and makes regulations in favor of those companies feeding you those bad chemicals.

Sugar added to the bread

Sugar put in everything with no real alternatives

what are you talking about?
without regulations what stops the companies from meeting up and deciding to feed you even more addictive shit
the threat of la revolution?
NAP?

Self control and sedentary lifestyle

...

((What)) could it possibly be?

Jack here brings the truth.
You get fat by eating more than you need to, anything else is a stupid excuse for not being able to resist the sugary Skinnberbox WalMart diet.

Mostly Real answer: so-called heart healthy diets.

We moved away from high-protein, high-fat foods like eggs and bacon and chicken, and replaced them with high-sugar, high-starch alternatives.

Government subsidies have also created an imbalanced market that promotes the over production of corn among other crops and products. Producers seek to maximum profits by creating new markets to sell corn in, this is why high fructose corn syrup and cheese is in everything, the market is flooded with them and items that utilize these ingredients are thereby more profitable.

Couple high calorie foodstuffs with more sedentary lifestyles, even for the very young and you have an ass that's two axe-handles wide.

Watch this seven minute video:

youtu.be/Of-qvDprr0w

TL;DR version: when a pregnant woman chugs soda her fetus is "programmed" to be fat. That is why fatass babies now occur when they haven't even had their first Happy Meal.

I enjoy eating and don't excerise.

Stop blaming the food faggots and take responsibility for nothing working out.

Be fat and happy or lose weight. Fun Fact: All food for you as it helps reduce our lifespan, but not eating is 100x worse so pick your poison.

>Stop blaming the food faggots and take responsibility for nothing working out.

I don't think anyone here is obese and blaming anyone but themselves: what we're talking about is how do we fix society?
There are even reasonably high IQ people that let themselves get fat as fuck, for some reason, let alone dummies.
If it's left up to personal responsibility all these people will be fat, sick and weak forever.

Homecooked is orders of magnitude cheaper, but in single parent homes it's often not prepared to accommodate parent's work schedule...assuming parent works....cost for prepared meals from grocery store (ie freezer meals) has a cost parity with take out options, meaning it's very pricey.

this is not universally true...laziness accounts for a large portion as well.

ironically households with children with many extracurricular activities make some of the worst dietary decisions because time is a finite commodity

>not liking a fat ass
stay gay anons

High Fructose Corn Syrup

mexican women are all extremely obese. idk what it is. most of the guys are normal, some fats but ALL the women are obese

>fat
nope.

bongs are super fat. basically all anglo genes are terrible besides their top 1%

Older folks will remember that 90% of people used to be normal and healthy, thin, lean, clear skin, attractive, with actual sexual dimorphism - men looked and acted like men, women were feminine and sexy...

It started to change in the late 90s to early 2000s.

I'm pretty sure that males born after 1995 never experienced a real 'male puberty', or even sufficient virilization in the womb. Females were similarly corrupted.

The causes are hard to pinpoint, but likely the biggest culprit are the chemicals intentionally added to foods - whether ingredients in processing, or fertilizers/pesticides, or something else.

Certainly plastics (hormone disruptors and mimics) have a role. Likely other factors also, such as soybean oil.

fast food?

sugar

...

I have no self control and eat whatever i want.

To everyone saying "sugar"...

You couldn't be more wrong. People have been eating sugar, and lots of it, for a very long time.

No, in fact, it wasn't until around the time when corn syrup and synthetic sweeteners replaced sugar that people became lardasses.

But I don't think sweeteners are the main cause, in any case; though they probably play a tertiary role.

That's a good one. OP's is unattractive as an phenotypical expression of bad genes.

>obese 6 month olds

Shitty quality food and lack of activity. More so, the lack of need for activity.

Love Randalin however is actually an exception. She has a disease, I forgot what it's called though.

It's mostly googles. They have the highest rates of obesity. If you took them out of the equation then we are equal to European nations in obesity rates.

thanks for the video.

I bookmarked it to view later (I am so tired right now I am going to bed)

I also sent it to my dad and brother.

A guy who doesn't pay taxes for 20 years could hardly be president. If everyone does that, the country would collapse. Great example!

"THICC!" fags is the reason there are so many fat people.

America is a very work oriented society, which is why things like fast food became extremely popular. People just didn't have enough time to come home and cook for their families.
Our obesity rates are shockingly normal compared to many other 1st world countries, it's just the morbidly obese that speak out so loudly.

you can't really workout enough to make up for overeating. A single pop tart has 200 calories and that's like 30 minutes on the treadmill. Unless you have a job that requires constant physical activity or you have no interests besides working out you need to cut out calories to lose weight.

>People have been eating sugar, and lots of it, for a very long time.
No they haven't. You're a faggot.

sugar just look how much is in one serving for most packaged foods and drinks. even health drinks like soylent have ~36 grams of sugar per bottle the same amount found in coke cola.

Saying "Shitty quality food" doesnt actually say anything at all.

That's like saying "Doing bad stuff" is the cause for high criminality in melanin enriched communities.

youtube.com/watch?v=mNYlIcXynwE
this sums it up in a basic easy to understand format

youtube.com/watch?v=FZqbxhI6eBU

Also the fact that we pretty much shovel 3 giant portions of food into our mouths daily (one even being right before bed) and then do fuck all to burn it off afterwards.
But to be fair, the entire world kind of fucks itself in that way. Its mostly just what's in those three servings that makes America so special in comparison.

Honestly.

i hate fatties

but that weight distribution makes this one very attractive imo.

$0.02 has been deposited, Justin Price

Right there with you bud. Been skinnyfit my whole life. I lost count of the amount of times I've been told by obviously unhealthier/fat people "WOW you're so thin! You need to eat a sandwich!". The funny thing is I can (and occasionally do) eat more food in one meal than most do in a day and it's been a consistent habit of mine and I've never gotten fat.

It's the best when people who have no business dictating what someone should and shouldnt be doing with their body tell someone else how to eat. I've straight up said to someone who said "Wow you should eat more" to me: "Yeah? You should eat less" much to the look of disgust and anger on their face.

My dick is confused.

Obesity rates are directly correlated with elevation

It's not a question, she's taking surgery
youtube.com/watch?v=8nxKpN8sPPE

usda.gov/factbook/chapter2.pdf

Page 20, faggot.

Cane and beet sugar consumption down 30%+ over 50 years.

Massive increase in corn syrup consumption over same period.

Just like I fucking said.

Elevation map for comparison

I want this cosmetic surgery meme to die

People drive to work and sit on their ass typing on a computer all day and then go home and and watch TV.

There used to be more physical activity required for average people in day to day life.

Now people need to exercise as a 'hobby' or get none whatsoever

High fructose corn syrup. Not enough exercise. Eat too late and flop. Don't stay at home. Never settle down. Only stop moving when you can't move anymore, then get up and do it again. although I'm not sure it would work with HFCS.

Lower castes being counted in the statistics. If you removed blacks, mestizos, and indios you'd find that we are actually doing about the same as most of Europe. Maybe a little fatter. Mexico is even worse than the statistically "average" American, and the UK is doing very poorly as well.

I don't want to point the finger at any foods. Really we should be eating more vegetables and meat. Nuts and dairy could also stand to increase. Aside from that, though, our reliance on sugar is fairly normal. I don't personally like corn sugar, but sweeteners deserve to be in everything. People in the past would have used them if they were as easily-available as they are now.

I've been studying sweeteners, and by extension grain and fruit growing, in Europe and I've got to say not a lot has changed as far as our priorities go. Even the ancient Greeks and Romans did this shit. Ever since (safe) metal pots became available we've been reducing sweeteners from grapes and cereal grains.

The Greeks really fancied a grape syrup, and our island friends have always enjoyed barley and wheat extracts. They're extremely important to European cultures and preserved barley and grapes are the basis of almost all of our modern food preservation. Historically they were our sources of sugar for preserves/jams, curing, pickling, fermentation, and all of our cooking and baking needs. Not only are they a useful source of nutrition on their own, but processed they contributed to almost all other preservation methods. From the sugar they also made alcohol, which was extremely important as a source of calories as well as !!!sanitizing the water!!! and extracting the essential oils out of a variety of other plants for medicine and flavoring (cooking oil could also be used). From the alcohol, vinegar is also created, which should be obvious what that shit does.

The only differences between now is the Prussians introducing sugar beets in the 1800s, and later corn.

Truly God works in mysterious way! Take that, atheists!

We have it too easy.
>Lack of need for physical labor
>Too many desk jobs
>Too much easy access to unhealthy foods
>GMO foods
>More calories per dollar than any time in history
>Too much bullshit like TV, video games, computers,
>Cultural laziness. People want to take cars 2 blocks down the street instead of just walking
>Bottom line: too much convenience and easy access to shit food

We just have it too sweet in the US. Both figuratively and literally. But from what I understand, it's not that far off than any other first world country in this world.

It also correlates with population density

>underweight
>its basically impossible to eat more than 1500 calories a day
How the fuck do you guys do it? I want to gain weight, I want to look normal, but I just don't get how a person can eat so much.

1) corn subsidies make it possible for High fructose corn syrup to be in all of our junk food, not just sodas, but chips, bakery goods, breads, etc.

2)junk food is cheap and people don't want to prepare meals anymore

3) fat acceptance. People actually think being fat is ok and that "it's genetic." Unless you are an Eskimo, that is largely bullshit

Same problem here.
I only eat 3 meals a day.

A firm ass is attractive, a fat ass is not there is a big difference
pic related firm ass

How is this related to politics?

Mods are sleeping I guess.

What is her name?

The fattest Americans seem to roll into and remain in areas of lower elevation. The effects of gravity on the profoundly fat are most intriguing.

saline is a helluva drug

Cred Forums Pass user since September 2012.

I'd fuck the shit out of her.. and no, I'm a white guy with German roots.

>What caused the American obesity epidemic?

The fact that fast food is cheap. If something is cheap, people will use more of it.

The fuck

Genetically modified corn and phytoestrogens are in the vast majority of products on the shelves, they're extremely cheap so they get re-purposed for everything. Primary examples are sugar substitutes (High fructose corn syrup) to other ingredients (cottonseed oil, any soy ingredients especially soy lecithin).

Subsidize it and you get more of it.

Make it so cheap you can't compete unless you use the cheapest ingredients and you get the worst outcomes.

There is almost no escape, even if you're trying to eat healthy, a lot of the "healthy" food has these products just in smaller amounts.

Ultimately it is a choice on how much you eat and take personal responsibility, but the odds are definitely stacked against you.

Kosher labeled foods avoid most of this stuff, especially GMO products.

Google "GMO rats"

It's majority carbs, like pastas or rice or breads.

Eating less frequently throughout the day so you metabolism doesn't stay in gear, condensing your meals into as few as possible.

Eating right before you sleep so you body can't catch up to processing the food and simply stores it as fat.

If she wasn't a coal burner I'd wife her big ass down.

its no eating anything in particular, I think its over eating. Binge eating, like eating 10 pies and chips every day or 3 litres of coke a day.

take niacin bro.
I get all my foods from locally sourced areas(one is an actual farm, another a local bakery that gets flour from said farm) and all of it goes bad quickly but luckily enough I prepare it in ways to eat it. Sucks having to go shopping so often, but yeah, GMOs are no joke. Try and take niacin and use a sauna or steam room to get those cancerous things out of your system.

Urbanization

Humans can't digest genetically modified foods, and they're in practically everything. People don't think about, and so they forget or don't grasp how common this toxic shit is. As just one example, think of corn syrup. It's in damn near everything, but how many people know it's source, or take any interest in it?

it started 50 years ago, roughly, and the two factors that started it off were people installing AC in their homes (they started sitting inside 24/7) and women entering the workforce en masse (they stopped cooking for lack of free time and started feeding their kids junk food instead)

it took a couple generations to actually kick off. people were getting fatter, statistically, in the 50s but doctors didn't start talking about it much until the 60s-70s IIRC

I predict you'll have massive and irreparable heart damage later in life. It will be your end.

"Taking niacin" requires taking it the right way. Which you're apparently ignorant of.

Because the American diet has become nothing but red or fried meat, refined sugar, high carbs, and other heavily processed foods.

Can't tell you how many people I know don't eat fruit or vegetables.
Also too many lazy fat fucks that wont work out.
1/3 of the country is obese and counting

Nope, your wrong, I consulted my doctor like any other sensible person would. I take niacin twice a month

Mexican women look good from 18-early 20s. once they hit 25 or so they reach that tipping point and jsut get fat as fuck.

There is no evidence that spacing out eating lowers metabolism. It's just one of things every repeats because they heard it somewhere, like how fat is bad and whole grains are good. Eating 1 meal every 24 hrs actually increases the amount of time your body burns fat stores.

Ah, a simple mistake my boy.

To remedy this misconception simply take a look at the Latino population in percentage to the US population, then look at the obesity rate in the US, you will see the number are very close.
This is because the numbers LARGELY come from this population.
REMINDER, facts are not racist.

Lack of self control more than not. Parents with shit principles pass it down to their kids etc.

Land of plenty.

That's disgusting

It is our poor dietary choices. People could possibly lose a lot of weight in the USA in general if they would replace their sugary beverages with water.

Bro, don't tell me you wouldn't smash

Plenty of ass. Seriously though, someone post more of this girl.

This isn't a complete racial thing, this is affecting white, black, and mexicans. Possibly a few asians but they don't seem to get fat often compared to others.

>a whale rolling around

Beer + all the delicious fatty food that tastes way to damn good > the amount of calories I expend at work I guess. Carb dieting is reaaaaallllly easy though and you can melt weight but then you lose too much weight. I guess you eventually have to find an amount of calorie intake that fits your lifestyle which takes effort which is in short supply.

Inversely correlated with elevation

This.

To be more on point, it is because of processed food. You can eat a lot of "real food" and not be a fat fuck, because it's not as calorie dense as processed food. Processed food is most of the time very unsatisfying, you can eat a bunch of it and feel like you're still nutrient starved despite having enormous amounts of calories, because you're basically eating garbage.

It's such fucking garbage that the FDA has ordered most processed food manufacturers to 'enrich' their products with vitamins, just so that people won't fucking die from being malnourished despite them being a huge fat fuck anyway.

>beer
beer has been a staple of civilization for literally ages. obesity has not been a significant, dare i say, huge issue up until just recently historically.

I don't think either Italy or France are fat for sure. We see being fat as a factor of shame in here.
If you are fat you are a disgusting slob and need to get a grip on your health,

...

High fructose corn syrup, large portion sizes, and lack of exercise.

Prove me wrong.

Also, 6'0 and 148 pounds (1.83m and 67.1kg for yuropoors). I'm not fat.

Has no one ever noticed that as smoking is being discouraged, the obesity rate is increasing correspondingly?

cheap shitty food consumerism and lazy lifestyles being encouraged

>ass
>not liking tits instead

>ass being where the shit comes out
literally POO IN LOO tier

Habitual consumption of processed and restaurant food that is too tasty due to the presence of highly concentrated fat, salt, sugar and animal products and the removal of water which concentrates both flavor and calories. This promotes overeating calories both psychologically and physiologically.

A low intake of fiber, fruits, vegetables, legumes and carbohydrates more generally.

An excessive intake of total dietary fat and added refined fat. A low intake of nuts and seeds as a fat source and a high intake of animal fats and refined fat in the form of oil, margarine, butter and chocolate.

An excessive intake of liquid calories.from oil, dairy and soda.

A lack of basic knowledge of nutrition and the persistence of myths that defy reality, such as the notion that Americans have a high carbohydrate intake, despite having one of the lowest in the world. Carbohydrate intake is negatively correlated with obesity because carbohydrates tend to come from plants and plants tend to be low in caloric density, high in nutrients as well as containing fiber.

Of course driving everywhere or using mobility scooters naturally leads to a fit and active lifestyle.
Coincidentally there was published new evidence that being fat lowers brain function and may lead to self-delusion.

>animal products
Though I get the recommended servings of fruit and vegetables, I do tend to eat a long of animal products as my only source of protein. Legumes are a good idea for a nice replacement, but what would you recommend for building large amounts of muscle(150+ grams of protein per day) that's not whey protein?
