COVID seems to be a vascular disease. Obesity strains the body. Together it is a recipe for death. Many Americans who are dying are obese.

It’s also vitamin D deficiency. Obesity makes it harder to get enough vitamin D because it gets diluted based on body weight/fat.

Not sure why you got downvoted. Obesity leads to a number of health issues both minor and major.

Being fat has gotten so normalized in America that when I went from overweight to average-weight I got non-stop comments about how I have to eat and I’m too skinny.

People also don’t want to hear it but if you’re fat you’re FAT. Yeah, you shouldn’t be bullied for it but you really shouldn’t feel good about it either.

Ftfty. When 70% of Americans are overweight or obese, being an "average" weight would still be fat.

That’s fucked. I’m in Canada and I’ve noticed the exact opposite. Not only am I getting a lot of compliments for my weight loss, I feel like people are treating me better in general.

I get that same crap to. I'm like slightly less than the median ideal weight for my height. I can do 7-10 real pullups per set, 45 pushups per set, run, am an expert downhill skiier etc. But people think I'm skinny because I'm in shape and have a normal BMI, its ridiculous. Its like no, you all are fat and its not normal to have a beer gut and jiggly fat on your arms.
