I grew up at a beach town. There really is no debate here. If you go back to the 80s it's even more extreme.

- jjk166 6y agoI too grew up in a beach town. It's selective memory.
- bordercases 6y agoCombined with an increase in obesity over the last several decades, is saying "it's just selective memory" as strong of a rebuttal?
- jjk166 6y agoThe average american woman weighed 163.8 lbs in 1999, she weighed 171 in 2020. Average BMI increased from 28.2 to 29.1 in the same time period. Women on average added 2 inches to waist size. Men went from an average weight of 189.4 to 197.9 in the same time period and BMI went from 27.8 to 29.1. Men on average added 1 inch on waist size. A 5% increase in weight over 20 years might be concerning from a public health perspective, but it's not something you'd see just by looking at people.
