Food is too much of people's budget. It's odd seeing poor people that weigh like 300 pounds. I can only afford one full meal a day and I don't complain. Id also be in a much shitter position financially if I decided to eat 3+ times as much. But who am I to judge addiction. Just saying, there's an obvious factor to change in that lifestyle with nothing but benefits to everybody. Again, I know it's not that easy. Doesn't make it any less glaring.

Interestingly, even though we eat more food and eat out a lot more often the share of income we spend on food is declining:

Does the article mention being strictly based on the BMI scale or do they take things like bone density and body fat % into account?

A survey of 5,000 people when the population is over 300 million. You always hear and read about surveys that say opposite of another survey about the same thing so, who knows.

Also this.

Most people lack a basic understanding of finances, nutrition, politics and other everyday real world knowledge. They don't teach them in schools because it turns people into the perfect minimum wage workforce.

The bigger issue is they should fix the cafeteria situation since their deals with food companies is part of the problem.

It's not just with cafeterias, but food anywhere in general. Grocery stores, chain restaurants, hospitals, theme parks... anywhere they sell food. It is cheaper and more profitable to use the badly sourced foods like chicken, vegetable oils, corn, soybeans, cereals and breads, etc. Way too many products are made with soy-based or corn-based ingredients.

What it says to me is mostly that the definition of obese is kinda useless.

There's a legit statement in there about American culture and habits too but nowhere near half the people I see are what I would consider especially fat.

You obviously don't know much about BMI.

BMI is meant to measure entire populations, not individuals; the amount of people who are fit enough and have enough muscle to have 25+ BMI isn't nearly large enough to throw off the amount of legitimately overweight/obese people in a given population.

Christ, use your brains.

BMI charts are completely bogus. If you've got any kind of reasonable muscle mass you're considered obese.

BMI and lean muscle aren't the same though. If 2 men both weighed 200lbs at the same height and one was lean and muscular while the other was flabby, you wouldn't really call the muscle one overweight.

If you didn't actually see the person but just their data as a reference, they'd count the same

In terms of overall mass, yes obviously they'd be considered overweight on paper, but metabolically speaking they are 100% more than okay. But we're not talking about gym folk, we're talking about lazy bones lard heads that shovel endless food into their faces.
