Tell myself that lie everyday
Non-whites are disproportionately fat which kind of skews the statistic.
^^ judging by all the non-whites in Finland huh?
I think it comes down to a relatively small difference between the amount of exercise, or at least physical activity, and food intake…and by the food intake it may come down to only a few hundred more per day that slowly adds up to make this generation fatter.
I was born in 1973 and was not into sports, but you’d just get a bit more bike riding and games of tag or playing war with toy guns and on the flip side there weren’t super-size meals till about 1990 or so. Coke came in cans or 2L bottles so you’d just have a can and stop…none of those Thirst Buster one liter bottles or whatnot.
What I’m saying is that it’s not like younger generations were more ‘hard-core’, but we just had fewer opportunities to fatten up,as I think the way kids are getting fatter earlier comes down to only 200 to 400 calories or so per day.
I’m so glad they didn’t have X-Boxes when I was 10! Hell, I wouldn’t even buy one now out of fear of how much time I’d spend playing it.

The data shows that people of lower socioeconomic status are much fatter than wealthy people. Black women are the most susceptible and 4/5 of them are overweight or obese. Income plays a major role in this and it is a big problem in poor, minority communities.

The flaw in his statement is that it suggests that non-whites aren’t Americans.

The Flaw in the statement is that it feeds off of anything said by Alfi.
If its an economic issue, how can poor people afford to be fat?
Is it because they are poor because they spend all their money getting fat?
I’m bulking, 6kcals/day isnt cheap and I’m lucky when I can be consistent with it.

It’s cheaper to get a meal from a fast food joint than it is to go to the grocery store and buy meat and veggies. Hence, why it is an economic issue.

Amongst your ignornant statement, you just answered your own question… it’s expensive eating healthy. I eat very healthy and buying vegetables, quality carbs, quality meat (I only eat chicken breasts and fish) isn’t cheap at all. Over the weekend, I spent about $120 on groceries and pretty much everything I bought is what I’m going to be eating and I will have to make another run to the market sometime before the week ends.
A 1.2kg of fresh salmon that is already skinned is approximately $24 and that will make me 5 meals… I buy about 4lbs of fresh chicken breasts for approximately $17 and that will last me about 6 days. It’s cheaper if I buy frozen but the quality and nutritional value isn’t the same.
Overeating isn’t the sole reason how people become obese… it’s the quality of the food, eating time and lack of time that are major factors… it’s cheaper and convenient to eat one or two meals a day by going to a fast food restaurant, considering the fact in the US, they’re like a dime a dozen.
But hasn’t Australia now taken over the reigns as the worlds’ most obese nation…?

Bulking the right way is expensive. But cut your calories in half but quadruple the carb intake and I bet you put on weight. Muscle is expensive to build, fat, is cheap.
