OK you lard butt readers, are the survey and its results accurate?
Got to know where my next meal is coming from.
From what I see every day (upper Midwest), I think their % are low. Data was self-reported, and I doubt everyone was honest about their weight. Most of us even lie to ourself !
The only thing I gleaned from this report was that they changed the method of determining obesity and cannot compare with previous years’ information. They probably did that to make the numbers grow larger (pun intended).
Obesity now is just plain FAT. Like, taking up 2 seats in an airplane fat. What is considered simply “overweight” now was once considered obese 10/15 years ago.
BrokerY, actually, the standard went the other way. A larger body mass is now considered obese than it would have in the past. The numbers are probably UNDERREPORTED.
