43% of adult Americans are obese. Numbers have tripled in 60 years. The biggest

Issue is the evolution of the sitting desk job. Majority of Americans sit all day. 40 years ago every job was a physically demanding job. Processed foods don’t help and fast foods but people don’t move anymore. I’ve checked my Apple Watch at the end of the day and I’m at 3,000 steps.

Most kids don’t go outside anymore to play. These numbers will continue to increase overtime.

Have you ever heard an obese person admit they are obese because they eat too

Of course. Being fat doesn't make you a complete idiot.

Yes. Very few fail to understand basic logic. OTOH, few recognize the volume

Hi I'm Oregano. I'm obese and I eat too much.

Being fat is actually easy on fat people because we have a mirror.

Yep, down 80ish from 300+ and 100% changing eating- exercise is great for you but is orthogonal to losing weight

I'm overweight because burgers are delicious.

But it doesn’t mean they are healthy.

Slim isn't healthy. I never said it was. Again, genetics.

I admit it all the time.

I've never heard an obese male say that, but obese females...

That might be more accurate. Men are more likely to admit shortcomings
