not the way the numbers on that site are broken down. healthy weight/overweight/obese adds up to 100%.

ahh yes. it also says it in plain english. Good catch

It's interesting how ragging on fat people is trendy now. You can't just be thin and attractive anymore, you must have that superiority complex too!!

I'll take Wilmington all day, every day to a large city.

 

Only thing I'm missing is professional sports, and I can travel 3.5 hours for that a few times during the fall.

somehow it is socially acceptable to tell skinny people things like

"omg you're so skinny. You need to eat!"

"the winds just gonna blow you away!"

When it's socially acceptable to say "omg you're so fat, stay away from the buffet" or "wow the floor is gonna break underneath you" then we can talk

To be fair, my mom meant Manhattan. I meant Manhattan and where I live in Brooklyn. That site mixes in White Plains and parts of NJ which do not have the walking that we do. I doubt there's any way to find that number. ALSO to be fair, the Charlotte number includes Gastonia. Take that out and your number will be healthier. ;)

To each their own for sure. Some people like the country, some the beach. Others like city. I like living on an island, I'm right near the ocean, I have nine pro sports teams to choose from, some of the best restaurants in the world, more culture in one city block than other cities have in the entire metro area, four seasons, and so many things to do I'll never be able to do them all. Is it crowded? Yep. But to me, it's worth it. Others want to live on a ranch in Montana. Like I said, to each their own.

Blaming obesity on genetics is pretty trendy in the fat community, I don't see why us fit people can't have our own trends for obesity culture.

 

Fat people were rare in the mid 20th century. Then there was an explosion of obesity that corresponded with the rise of suburban culture, fast food, and office jobs. That isn't genetic. Being fat is a lifestyle choice for the vast majority of fat people, so to me, they are fair game to rag on.

 

Maybe that makes me an asshole, but that is one subset of the population I have no remorse for thinking negatively about.

 

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about people that are a little on the heavy side. I'm referring to people that have rolls folding over rolls. It's not natural and it shows a clear lack of self respect.

i blame tv for obesity. yes. i said tv.

 

how's that for counter intuitive argument?

oh snap!

 

edit: looked at it and charlotte is 63% overweight OR obese, and new york is only 60% overweight or obese.

 

We have more really fat people and NY has more moderately fat people.

 

in NY it's because of the pasta............in Carolina it's the mac & cheese that does it.
