Is this common in the US?
If yes, in which states? Also what would you do for fixing this obesity problem?
>>36507680
>Is this common in the US?
It depends where you are. I virtually never see it where I am, and those two times was only when I went into Wal-Mart, aka the shame of the U.S.
Napalm should work.
>>36507680
I wouldn't say it's common, but it's certainly not uncommon. And it's like that pretty much everywhere. It's because capitalism and lazy dumb people. There is no quick fix, desu I think we just have to wait until all the fatties die off.
>>36507680
This is why we need veganism
>>36507680
Eugenics.
>>36507680
As someone who works in retail, yes it is common. Those scooters are for disabled people, but theres nothing to stop fat people or anyone from using them.
More densely populated will have more of it but that's just a number game.
Its usually more common in the midwest, parts of the south and east coast, and more so in the lower income areas.
What would I do? Stronger emphasis on health in nutrition in schools and making it against the law for obese people to uses these scooters and handicap spaces
>>36507768
Great answer, thanks!
>>36507680
I guess it depends on what you consider "common". I shop at WalMart a lot and I rarely see this, although it may just be the fact that the one I go to is in a nicer neighborhood.
I don't know that there's anything we can do besides educate people on the dangers of sugar. America is, of course, big on freedom - and an integral part of that is the freedom to make bad choices. If the government tells us what we can and cannot eat, then that's not really "freedom", now, is it?
Junk food should go away because people willingly stop buying it, NOT because the government said so. I get that it's probably hard for yuropfags to distinguish between the two, but it's an integral part of American culture.
>>36507754
Most vegans I've met are skinny-fat. I live in one of the hippy-capitals of the west coast.
>>36507680
>Also what would you do for fixing this obesity problem?
Tax them like in asian countries. Tax their employers too for their unhealthy employees. Make being obese so miserable that they kill themselves or are forced to be skinny.
>>36507752
Really?
I'm from a capitalism country and I only see one really fat person walking around here.
I mean he is as fat as those people from the picture but he still walks.
The only people I see driving around in those motor-chairs are old people.
The "Fats in motor-chair"-meme you see here often seems to be a USA thing...
I live in the deep south, and I have barely ever seen this. Maybe like a couple times. And I go to Wal-Mart frequently.
>>36507680
This is common in every state that doesnt directly touch the atlantic or pacific
Exceptions:
States south of Virginia
Colorado and Utah
I was in america 3 times
>South carolina
>Philadelphia
>Louisville
You see it literaly everywhere, its like real life GTA, like a fucking satire, you feel trolled at first till you realize how fucking bad that country is.

Yeah every state.
Solution: Kill all amerilards
>>36509908
You went to some of the shittiest areas of the country
South Carolina and Kentucky are in contention for the worst states in the country
Philly is the white trash capital of the US and is not an interesting place for tourists
>>36507680
Everyone on foodstamps shop at Walmart. People on welfare are the fattest. Combination of the schedule of the money delivered, the shit they buy, being sedintary, AND the ethnic groups on welfare. There is no such thing as a fit mexican for starters, and the gigantic sheboon is practically a mascot for the welfare state.
>>36510040
>Everyone on foodstamps shop at Walmart.
Unemployed people?
>>36510040
Not to mention that they're generally uneducated and have no idea how to eat right or count calories

I've met several fit Mexicans. They're usually drug dealers and have a lot of money though.

This line of reasoning goes to shit when you start supporting those bad decisions through social aid. It's only natural that the government, and through it the taxpayers, should be able to influence or limit those decisions if they're expected to pay for their consequences.

Not super common but if you goto the local walmart youll see someone carting around the store

Carbs are good for weight loss, if you take too much calories they are stored as glycogene then the rest will be stored as fat
Unlike fats who are stored directly into body fat.
See dr McDougall for more
>>36511555
Have you ever seen a BMI chart? Apparently the healthy weight for a 6' male is between 140 and 180 lbs
Granted, that's a useful metric for non-lifting, large populations, but still
I live in the South, I have lived in other parts of the country for short times. It is extremely common in the south. Not so much everywhere else. Everytime family or friends visit, they like to go to wal-mart to people watch the fatties. LOL
>work at an amusement park as a security guard
>walk into the place that rents that fat scooters
>some family of fatties just returned theirs (they're all standing around or getting off of them)
>walk by to go behind the counter
>smell nothing but McDonald's
>none of the girls working the counter were eating it
>we were the only people in the building
>the fatties were sweating McDonald's grease
>>36512368
Why are people in the South so goddamned fat?
Is it just that they've continued to eat the kind of meals they did back when they worked on farms (or plantations), only now lead sedentary lifestyles?
I live in the Southwest. The white people here are pretty fit, but Mexicans and Natives are fat as fuck. There aren't a whole lot of black people, but they're hit-or-miss
>>36507680
yes. It's common in the midwest. I live in Ohio. See this in any grocery store....fucking sad.
>>36507680
Really only in the south east and even then only in poor neighborhoods. In my area everyone is generally in decent shape and the closer you get the to nice parts of the city the better people tend to look. Go to the ghetto or the back woods and it's nothing but the betus and freedom scooters.
>>36512384
I don't know, It's just culture here.
Everything has to be deep fried.
I can't fucking stand it.
I hope a great plague wipes them
all out one day.
>>36512308
You do realize glycogen has mass right
In fact it's LESS energy dense than fat.
>>36507680
You'll see it atleast once in your life where I live, Minnesota.
Seems to be much, much, much, much more common in the south, bible belt primarily.
Yes, you do happen to see people like this, but these are probably 1% or less of the overall population.
>>36511805
I think we could solve it if government aid wouldn't cure self inflicted disorders like type 2 diabetes.
>>36512316
It's not just a good metric for non-lifters, it's a good measure for anyone who isn't a serious athlete or body builder. 99.99% of people. And if you're an outlier, you absolutely already know it.
>>36512402
>Everything has to be deep fried.
don't forget that their "sweet ice tea" is sweetened hot, then chilled to melt as much sugar into it as possible.
If the US ever moves to Universal healthcare, there should definitely be a fat tax.
I finally get a chance to post this
>>36511555
>BMI
Hate that shit. I guess I'm obese at 6'4 220lbs
>>36512451
We already tax alcohol and tobacco without truly universal healthcare
Don't see why taxing shit like soda and candy is a problem, other than my beloved Diet Coke would probably get wrapped up in it
>>36512451
Fat tax already failed in every country that tried it out.
End corn subsidies. End serving sizes. Make PE mandatory for every student in public school from K-12. Make recess a mandatory 1 hour in every public school. Punish parents with obese children.
>>36512483
Because no food is the problem, it's the amount that people eat. It unfairly punishes people who aren't contributing to obesity.
>>36512534
What the fuck would "ending serving sizes" do to help?
>>36507680
Arkansan here. Common as fuck. These fatties roll around and buy pork rinds
>>36512394
Where in Ohio? I'm in Columbus and I definitely see it, but it's maybe once out of every 10 trips
>>36512572
Hahaha yeah. Tennessee resident here. Nothing out of the ordinary.
>>36512368
There are a lot of overweight people in the north but it's mostly the older crowd. I think the younger people around here care a decent amount about their health compared to anyone over 30.
I honestly get really depressed when I'm in grocery stores and see how fat everyone is, or when I look at the newspaper and see that half the obituaries are for people in their fifties.
>>36512575
Columbus too, a little outside the city.
Think about it dude....1/10 is still pretty bad. I'd say I see it 1/5 times and I never go to Wally World.
>>36512555
Well, not exactly ending serving sizes but reforming how they work.
Most people ignore nutrition labels because how confusing they are (please do no underestimate how stupid most people are).
>>36507834
there's no such thing as a walmart in a nice neighborhood
>>36512616
Some companies list the full package/drink serving information, which I think is a good start.
>>36512451
This is a misnomer. Obese, smokers, druggies, and smokers actually eliminate themselves from the system quicker. Your heart exploding in your 40s is pretty cheap for the state
I buy cigarettes in Pennsylvania and resell them in NY. I see all kinds of rednecks there. I feel like David Beckham compared to all the other guys. Such unfortunate genetics.
I see a ton of chubsters on scooters there too btw.

I live in TN and I don't think states are an issue, but individual cities.
Where I live I have never seen anyone use a electric scooter(cart thing), but in Memphis they are everywhere.
anywhere where people are impoverished you will see this.
>>36507680
Depends on where you live. I worked at a Wal-Mart in Iowa for about a year, and saw maybe 3-4 of these people.
>>36512575
>>36512608
Cbus fitizen
You see it along the outerbelt. The suburbs and Walmarts around 270 are full of scooters. Never seen an obese person in the Whole Foods on Lane. Bike paths and areas near campus are populated by fitizens
I shop at Wal-Mart regularly (cheap groceries surprisingly). In a decent to nice area but I've been to some in some shittier areas.
Honestly it's rare, really rare and the few times I did see it, it was an old obese person, I'd have to say 55+
But this is all in SoCal so I think the rate of obesity is lower here anyway.
>>36512316
>>36512482
Lots of body builders and professional athletes in Arkansas and Louisiana these days...
>>36509482
Most people who aren't fat fat are skinny fat unless they exercise

>>36507680

Solution: cut federal/state corn subsidies and subsidize produce. It makes shitty food cheap as fuck.
Also better nutrition education.

Walmart stories?
>go to walmart
>guy getting arrested in parking lot
>walk inside
>hamplanet in scooter is driving circlesaround a can of soda they dropped trying unsuccessfully to reach it, while swearing profusely.
Yep, another day in the dubya em
Pretty common , more so in PA and VA. I'm muscular vegan and decked out in multi cam or real tree most of the time and people are pretty chill about it and once they see that they are fat and I'm fit, vegan, and still into country living, they pretty much just admit ita their inactivity and diet. Faggots in PA would be like Muh bacon and proton!
>>36513382
man people do this everywhere as you already know. a lot of people actually accept the path they are continually going on and have the attitude of "when the diabetes happens it happens" thing. a lot of people identify with others who look like them because similar mentalities are there by default and easily shared.

>facepalm hard because I know the entire can is not 250 calories but one serving side is
And also there are people out there who read it and care like....90% of people who browse fit
But I get what you're saying and it is hilarious on a coca cola soda machine i SAE today it had a sign that said "count your calories. Check before you pick" and basically telling people to pick a low calorie healthier option of soda. Like honestly coke vs sprite which one is healthier ? Lol fat people issues I guess.
>>36507680
If youre referring to people being fat as fuck then yes, i live in south caroline where obesity is through the roof.
If youre talking about the mobility scooter things, i personally have never seen someone on one who wasnt missing legs or whatever, and i see some HUGE people at the supermarket etc.
>>36507680
Saw a guy who was probably 5'6, 450 lbs at Whalemart today, and he's not nearly the largest I've seen, so yes.
Colorado and Utah.
I'd probably make it so they can't ride on those scooters that are for the disabled.
>>36510040
>tfw almost a quarter of my gym are mexican.
Most don't speak English and only a few are even close to fit
also it seems like they bring the whole family as i always find 3 or 4 ninas and ninos frolicking about
>>36513769
also my aunt is so fat she lives off "disability" checks and she doesnt even use those things. Then again we have a lot of veterans and stuff around where i live and theyre always using those things. Fat people will do alot of things, but arent too stupid to tell a veteran with no legs that they need the scooter more than they do
>>36513372
Sadly none of my Wal-Marts are that entertaining. They strangely almost resemble like a Target. Almost, not quite people are still ugly as sin.
What day was this? Maybe it happens on weekends since I avoid going their on the weekends like the plague.
>>36513442
Yeah no doubt, sad that some guys sole redeeming quality in their wives is that they can jog down a cheese cake together.
>>36512616
should have the daily % of sugar too, the only reason they don't is because the sugar industry would lose some sweet fatty money
>>36513999
Sugar is not the reason why a lot of Americans are fat tho. I'd say it has to do with our diary consumption and milk being in everything. You can eat fruit all day and be healthy.

Kinda funny how a lot of you mention most mexicans in the us are fat fucks
I live in one of the "nicests" mexican cities (as nice as mexico can be) and i go to a walmart atleast 4 times a week to do my /fit shopping and i've never seen someone who isn't elderly use on of those scooter things.
Either trump is right, or being lazy and living in murica will turn you into a landwhale (most lazy/uneducated people here are dadbods with beer guts)
Saw two of them today. Guy and a girl. A couple.
I sat next to an obese person for the first time in YEARS recently.
I'm not exactly a big guy, and this man's thigh was wider than I am shoulder-to-shoulder. It was intimidating as shit, even though he had all the confidence of a dead goldfish. Being so close to big animals doesn't make me uncomfortable, but when people get so big I can fit my whole body in their pants it makes me super fucking uncomfortable.
Midwest and I see it all the time. Fatties need to die.
>>36512787
Exactly, that's what makes it so genius. Fatties are going to fat anyway, so make a quick buck through tax and then keep the money for people who will live long enough to use it.

Their is a correlation between wealth and health. Go to a yatch club or ski resort (particularly racing culture) and you'll have a hard time finding a fatty. They're there, just much more rare.
Go into a Walmart and you'll find them everywhere. Fat people are too lazy to eat right and will eat everything because of how available food is.

I live in a decent neighborhood in Seattle, which I think is less fat than the average US city, but I still see this a few times a year at the grocery store.
Depends entirely on the state. I visited TN for distant relatives, and every single fucking person was obese, every one. Mainly, the poorer the place, the fatter the people, probably because they eat all their money but who knows? Just compare colorado to mississippi.
>>36509908
That would be like me going to a slum in Londonistan and saying the whole EU is trash. Fuck's sake, you retard, why the fuck did you go to killadelphia and two of the fat as fatassest states in the nation? God damn, want to go to mississippi and alabama, too? Do you 3rd worlders even understand that the US is bigger than the entirety of europe?
As non murkan i eat mostly what i cook from scratch, eggs, vegis, beans if i need quick snack, I offer same thing to my obese murkan raised husband and he has about to puke expression on his face, all depends on what food you were raised on, which his parents didn't give 2 shits and fed him big macs now he has close to no appreciation to a simple non processed food.
Worst in southeast.
Also, I'd remove adults with >60% bodyfat from receiving health care coverage beyond the most basic shit like immunizations and yearly wellness visits, and allow hospitals to deny them emergency cardiovascular and gastrointestinal care if they cannot pay out of pocket. Anyone could get a waiver with a basic fitness evaluation and nominal lipid panel. Anyone could get a waiver if they demonstrate significant progress in losing weight. Then ratchet down the threshold bodyfat% by 4% every year down to 35%.
Stop forcing everyone else to pay to save them. Let them be fat, if they can afford it.
