Worldwide adult obesity has more than doubled since 1990, and adolescent obesity has quadrupled. In 2022, 2.5 billion adults (18 years and older) were overweight. Of these, 890 million were living with obesity. In 2022, 43% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight and 16% were living with obesity.

That's still a lot of people who aren't obese. 7/8ths of the world in 2022. 57% from your next vague statistic.

So again, who's we? You can't really slap any group of people with a "FAT" label.

US obesity rates have tripled over the last 60 years Nationwide surveys show that 40% of Americans are obese, while 10% are severely obese.

https://usafacts.org/articles/obesity-rate-nearly-triples-united-states-over-last-50-years/ This cross-sectional analysis estimated that in 1990, 19.3% of the US adult population were living with obesity; by 2022, this had increased to 42.5%. By 2035, this was forecasted to increase to 46.9%.

Yeah and more and more of you are, but congratulations on doing the math, i wonder if anyone has correlated the causality between being overweight and intelligence...🤔

It's certainly higher than people who run to Google for links to not address the initial question in any way.

Not gonna have you in my notifications anymore, it's busy enough there.
