justavegainandhirbike: thatskintightdress: daniigettingfit: thefitandhealthylife: notadietalifechange: slimmingthehealthyway: I don’t live in the US, but this is pretty disturbing. didnt even know virginia was over 30% Well, this is terrible!!!! Wow the south y’all. Cali what the fuck, you ruined the stereotype we have lol This is disgusting :( I cant help but watch this and make the obvious connection between rates of obesity and levels of poverty.  Pay close attention to which states always shoot up first.  The poorest states in the lower 48, or states the include some of the cities hardest hit by poverty.  Keep in mind that over the years the government has changed what “obesity” is. If a man was slightly “overweight” based on his BMI in the 70’s and never gained a pound, he would be considered “obese” today with the exact same BMI. Did he get fatter? No. Are people is America getting fatter and eating worse? Yes. But the numbers aren’t as drastically different in the past 30 years as studies would make us believe. (still pretty bad, but not much worse than it’s always been)
