oh... now you are saying all of those 400pound people, who are struggling... its all their fault... if only they gotten in shape!!! those idiots!!!... is that your stance???

The Health Survey for England 2019 estimates that 28.0% of adults in England are obese and a further 36.2% are overweight but not obese. Obesity is usually defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above. BMI between 25 and 30 is classified as 'overweight'.
The CDC provided a data update in May 2017 stating that for adults 20 years and older, the crude obesity rate was 39.8% and the age adjusted rate was measured to be 39.7%. Including the obese, 71.6% of all American adults age 20 and above were overweight.

You don’t have to be 400 pounds to be morbidly obese

Or even at a high health risk

no, but have you ever thought that being obese causes you to be poor?????

?????????????????????????????????????????????

yes

No being poor creates and lends to circumstances that would lead you to be most likely be over weight and have a lifestyle that leads to long term health issues that most people just ignore until it’s too late

if you have a 200 lbs lady and 300 labs lady apply for a job.... who do you choose? and if you say of course not based on qualifications, think about who does joe shmoe chooses?

omg

Poor people living pay check to paycheck

if you have a fit 125 lady apply for a job and 200 lady apply for a job..... hmmmm

middle clss people are also living paycheck to paychek

125 lady

We really need better standards for cop hiring

that was correct answer!!!!!!

people are shallow

Have you ever used statistics, like, ever?

A lot of police consider themselves patriots. Especially ex-military who have literally put their lives on the line to guarantee our ‘Free & Fair elections’

Poor to lower middle class

200 might work more and harder

If you are rich and living pay check to pay check you are squandering money

being obese, causes you to earn significantly less money, just like being outside of regular look, outside of regular height, and generally higher is better.... etc etc

Like is there some aversion to using science?

You never know when u hiring new employees

what, you will science test the 125 lbs applicant and 400 lbs applicant?

or 250 lbs?

Or perhaps being obese means you're more likely to be poor to start with.

But you know, science.

or maybe it is genetic after all???? tell all those mothers with fat toddlers.... "oh, your baby is fat just cause you are poor!!!!"

and oh!!! your baby's IQ is likely lower cause she is fat and you are poor!!!

Most bad habits are formed in peoples youths. They see their parents with bad habits and the cycle continues. Something like regular checkups gets in the way and can act like a dam to prevent the cyclical nature of poor health decisions

Like, you're going against established scientific consensus.

Make better choices etc

exactly, in youth - especially fatness in babies.... they also start smoking way younger i suppose

I'm curious.. what is the established scientific consensus?

You're not even offering alternative studies.

Just anecdotes and "well I think this is the reason."

That poverty has a strong correlation to being overweight.

Due to numerous factors.
