Not enough fat shaming.
We had a sprinter on our team from Bulgaria. He told us how there were no fat women in Bulgaria because when girls start to get fat, they stop feeding them. I don't know if that's true, because honestly, he said a lot crap that sounded like BS, but I like to believe it is.
Europeans on average were 10 kg (22 lbs) lighter than Americans! The French were 30 lbs lighter. American men, by the way, were just shy of 200 lbs and had gained 30 lbs+ since 1960, along with 1" in height>they confusingly said they'd factored the ht increase in.

And he said when they stopped feeding them they become Hungarians.

You all averaged 140 pounds (even that is not light) in 1960. Now you tip the scales at close to 170 pounds. You weigh 30 pounds more than you did in 1960. What happened, ladies? Fat loss is not rocket science. You expend more calories than you take in. Do you all not get that???
No doubt you know the answer...
In Merica you have been trained to eat like poop since you were born. So not really their fault... but please please don't blame it on the boomers cause they were trained that way too... not sure who that leaves to put the blame on but let's find someone fast.
Seems to be that somewhere along the line a huge amount of anxiety was attached to being depleted of "energy". Food brands marketed everything on this dire need for "energy" and now it's like most people have this idea that you can't get from the parking structure of a mall to the theater without a scoop of fvcking dipping dots an a corn dog , for 'energy" to get to the concession stand and buy a gallon of soda , a pound of raisinettes and a bushel of popcorn for "energy" to watch the movie and get back to the car. That and not being "left the fvck out". Oh, you just have to give them 40 tons of that $hit , so they don't fvcking feel "left out"!

People who run ultras understand energy. I had a handful of potato chips and 2 slices of orange to get me to the next rest area 5 miles away. It depends on the terrain your running. For people who drive everywhere and only walk around in the house or store they shouldnt need much. Some of their energy should come from their fat reserves and if they are not definitely hungry they shouldnt eat.

So yeah if you think about it its pretty disgusting. People way overeat. The overweight majority could save the planet if we all ate half as much and didnt carry around all that extra flab that requires energy to move around.

I'm exceptional then
Sexist.
Somewhere along the way, the message of the self-esteem movement shifted from "it's okay to not be perfect" to "you ARE perfect no matter what." So now instead of thinking "I'm a little overweight, and I'm going to try to do better, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it," people think "I'm a little overweight, but I'm just going to keep right on going in the wrong direction because I'm beautiful and perfect either way."
What is the weight of the average male now compared to 1960?
Please share so you have at least some reasonable comparisons.
In defense of women I will point out that the average woman is significantly taller now compared to 50 years ago while the average male height has not increased.
You need all the facts before you make assumptions.
Anyone know the reason for the height and weight gain in women? some studies have linked it to increased hormones in our foods which effect women more men.

Your mom is so fat that she is skewed the average fatness by two standard deviations by herself.
I'm curious as to whether the trend is cause by the majority of women getting a little bit fatter, or a small portion who are way fatter. Anecdotal observation leads me to think that the ratio of fit to fat women is about the same, but that the fat women are just so much fatter today that they are driving the average way up.
You seem bitter. Do only fat chicks like you? I bet your peepee is small...
Nasty Women
In the end, usually fat overweight or obese individuals will end up with self induced health issues that require meds. Then they shall love themselves no matter what! And spend tons of money on meds! So, I guess what I'm saying is get off your butts, women AND men, -and take account tabikity for yourselves and your health! Be a role model to your family and others. And stop whining about others and take a look in the mirror.
Women's bodies are primed to gain and retain body fat. In both men and women, fat cells don't die rather they atrophy with caloric restriction. So, when women gain weight with pregnancies (and poor diet) it is very difficult for them to lose that extra weight and keep it off long-term. In addition, their lower muscle mass vs. men means they burn fewer calories.
Given the above, what happened to MEN?
Fat suddenly became genetic
As comedian Emo noted back in the 1980s: "My sister and her husband just found out they haven't been legally married for the last ten years because the minister who married them was a fraud. It's really sad. Now, she'll have to lose all that weight."
