Like all our starving homeless are throwing the stats.

quote:

A new study dispels the myth that, in general, the homeless are starving and underweight. Researchers from Harvard Medical School and Oxford University report that obesity is just as common among the homeless as it is among the general population. One reason, the authors suggest, could be because cheap, instantly satisfying foods often contain a high levels of fat and sugar. Another reason could be that bodies experiencing chronic food shortages adapt by storing fat reserves.

what happens when you design a ride for japan and then export it.

a while back I was curious about japan's obesity rate and looked up some stats on a government database, surprisingly the only demographic that's gotten any fatter is men over 40, and even then only by like 6lbs. younger men and women of all ages are basically unchanged over the past few decades. the US obesity rate however has tripled in the span of two generations and isn't slowing down.

Imagine calling things fatphobic because you don't understand that physics and physical limitations are a thing.

Imagine thinking that a national airline is violating your human rights and wants you to not exist because their online booking system doesn't have an "X" option in the Gender section. That's what happens when narcissism and a persecution-victimhood complex meets the social media echo chamber and the outrage-clickbait way online media tends to operate.

(Disclaimer: I know that person in real life. Full-on legit case of borderline and narcissistic personality disorder. Once told a booth attendant selling newspaper subscriptions at the fair that "she" should be hired as the paper's marketing/PR person because "I make hundreds of tweets per day!" On a separate occasion a bunch of us went to a comedy club and same person blew up at the waitress after because the headliner made a joke about disagreeing with his girlfriend about sending the kid to bed without dinner for being bad, ranted and raved to our poor server about how "child abuse is a thing" and somehow worked in Zelda Williams quitting Twitter over trolls as part of the rant, etc.)

It was a group outing, with friends-of-friends, and the person who did the inviting made the same pity mistake twice. And among the stuff listed, also got limes shoved under his glasses/into his eyes as a "joke" as a result.

It’s so incredibly easy to end up with at least one dumpster fire of a person in a large enough friend group. Then you have to wait around until they’ve sufficiently burned enough people to get ousted or destroyed the entire group.

Ok, I’m looking at these numbers from the CDC and something isn’t adding up

Averages for dude in the US of A:
-Height in inches: 69.0
-Weight in pounds: 199.8
-Waist circumference in inches: 40.5

I’m 74” tall. The heaviest I’ve ever been, during the saddest and fattest period in my life, was 220lbs. I did not feel healthy. I didn’t look great. Got over the depression eventually. Went overboard getting fit again and kept a lot of measurements to track my progress and the worst that tape hit was ~35”. Does a 5” height difference equal a 5” waist difference?

What’s going on here? Do I have an extra heavy skeleton or am I just bad at math?

You should know how you are built, but yeah those numbers are very wild.

I mean I know I'm built different and I don't hit a 40" waist before I hit 300 pounds... Those are some extreme numbers and bottom heavy bodies.

hm...
we're all on the same page about where the "waist" is, right?

because I thought waist meant the top of my hips for like 26 years, because that's where the waistband of my jeans sits, and I just want to make sure

I googled 5'9" 200 lbs and this came up:

apologies to this man if he doesn't want to be in this thread

now, I would not believe that his "waist" is 40 inches around. those are probably medium or large undies, which would out him in 32"-38" range

but his waist?



yeah, I could buy that that's 40 inches. dude's got a belly on him

also just out of fairness to this man, here's the full image, it's a progress pic, he slimmed down to 160 :toot::

Yes, they measure your waist and if it is above the approved size they will fine your employer. Fear that this practice will spread to the US is the primary reason we don't have universal health care.
