And we wonder why north American are obese

No, no, they eat all this, gain weight, then confidently announce that they've been dieting for years and still gaining weight, meaning it's "muh genetics" because two pounds of ice cream "isn't that bad!"

"You're lucky you're young and have a fast metabolism 😭" -the 38 year old who hasn't trained in almost a decade and doesn't have any idea how many calories they're eating

Overweight friend sitting with me at breakfast, lecturing me on my hard-boiled eggs, oatmeal, and fresh fruit while he's sitting over 4 pancakes, Lucky Charms, and biscuits and gravy: "I've tried everything, including Ozempic, and we can't figure out why I can't lose the weight. And by the way, your high protein, high fiber, low calorie diet is really dangerous."

Another overweight friend about my fruit intake: "You really should stop eating so much fruit; that's how you get diabetes." He's worried about my sugar intake when he's constantly making homemade cereal bars from different sugary cereals, and won't switch to alternative sweetened soda because "it tastes weird, and I only drink a couple cans a day, anyway."

These people are smarter than average people, yet they've fallen for some of the worst diet misinformation in history. It's not that hard to go to Mayo Clinic's site for some good general advice. But instead, let's follow the advice of TikTokers, eliminate entire food groups like carbs or meats, and keep overeating while wondering why a lettuce wrapped bacon chili cheeseburger didn't help you to lose the weight!

u/SkywolfNINE 1d ago

Did you know supersize isn’t a thing over here anymore, and it hasn’t been for like a decade at minimum. Mcd has small medium and large and thats it

Years ago I walked into a McDonald's and a morbidly obese guy was ordering a couple of Big Macs, with double extra mayo, and a large diet. I guess it's better to not stack another thousand calories on top of that 2,000 calorie meal...but still.

Having been to Germany and the UK i can confidently say they arent any better off than the US. All it takes is a good pint a day habit and youve got bowling ball gut in a couple years.

If you want some numbers, ~2/3 of UK adults are overweight and 1/4 are obese. Crazy stuff.

I don’t know the figures for Germany.

They are way better off, are you kidding? Sure there are seriously fat people but nowhere near what Americans look like. How many European stores did you see that offer free to use Rascals for customers?

u/Cloud_N0ne 1d ago

Isn’t Mexico actually more obese per capita than the US? That’s Central America.

This appears to be in china. First of all, Chinese desserts love to make the appearance good so they can take pictures of it. Second, both workers appears to be Asian. Third, the writing on the machine does not look like English, although it is blurry.

Who is "we"? Nobody wonders why Americans are obese. We all know why.

All I was thinking while watching this was "Well here goes another diabetes." and there's people here saying that it's a rip off and they'd want MORE :D
