I’m betting just under 50% of posters on this board are obese
Damn, what's in the Colorado water?

I just drove up Dubuque Street in Iowa City. I can report with the students returning the young ladies of IC are fit and trim.
That seems high.
By what standard though? BMI? That's a complete joke.
The exercise bug runs through water pipes there.Damn, what's in the Colorado water?
From the CDC
The prevalence of obesity increased from 30.5% in 1999-2002 to 41.9% in 2017–March 2020. During the same time, the prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2%.
I guessed the numbers jumped in the last 4 years
Honestly I thought you chart looked low
Are you serious? Muscle is the enemy of BMI.
50% still seems high when even West Virginia tops out at 41%.
Yes I was serious. Thank you for not helping.

Are dudes like that a big part of the population where you live?

Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates would both be considered obese using BMI
It’s crept higher the last 5-10 yearsDamn, what's in the Colorado water?
Where does it say these figures are BMI based?Yep. It goes into much, much smaller muscle mass though. Essentially with BMI, if you aren't a man looking like a 16 year old kid, you're overweight.
I guess I'm surprised how ignorant you are about it. My apologies.

Can I take this opportunity to once again thank you for going out of your way to not explain your opinion.
I would support legislation that ties fatness and fitness with the amount of your health insurance premium.
Okay. I have a lot of doubt that there is a large enough population of those guys to completely dismiss a commonly used metric.
I just looked at a BMI chart and an individual has to be pretty dern big to achieve a 30.
It is a HUGE penalty for the healthy.I would support legislation that ties fatness and fitness with the amount of your health insurance premium.
Lotta guys like that in your neighborhood?
No you agreed with someone pointing out that elite athletes would be obese and then talked about being overweight.I already did.
At 25 that is doable. At 60 it is approaching problematic health wise.No. You really don’t.
5’10 and 210 and you are 30.1 BMI
No, it would raise rates and costs on the obese and likely provide some motivation to be less obese which would drive down costs.That would kill any and all sorts of insurance setups and effectively raise costs across the board.

Overweight=/=obese.
