Itโs been a long while since I used any dating app, as Iโm happily married to a normal-sized and psychologically un-defiled non-American woman, but slogging through the pigsโ profiles in search of a woman suitable for child-bearing back in the day was always a massive chore.
So cheers to her for making the right decision and cleaning up the roster sheet.
Three-quarters of Americans now overweight/obese
Via The New York Times (emphasis added):
โNearly three-quarters of U.S. adults are overweight or obese, according to a sweeping new study. The findings have wide-reaching implications for the nationโs health and medical costs as it faces a growing burden of weight-related diseases.
The study, published on Thursday in The Lancet, reveals the striking rise of obesity rates nationwide since 1990 โ when just over half of adults were overweight or obese โ and shows how more people are becoming overweight or obese at younger ages than in the past. Both conditions can raise the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, and shorten life expectancy.
The studyโs authors documented increases in the rates of overweight and obesity across ages. They were particularly alarmed by the steep rise among children, more than one in three of whom are now overweight or obese. Without aggressive intervention, they forecast, the number of overweight and obese people will continue to go up โ reaching nearly 260 million people in 2050.โ

Viaย The Lancet study:
โIn 2021, an estimated 15ยท1 million (95% UI 13ยท5โ16ยท8) children and young adolescents (aged 5โ14 years), 21ยท4 million (20ยท2โ22ยท6) older adolescents (aged 15โ24 years), and 172 million (169โ174) adults (aged โฅ25 years) had overweight or obesity in the USAโฆ
Forecast results suggest that if past trends and patterns continue, an additional 3ยท33 million children and young adolescents (aged 5โ14 years), 3ยท41 million older adolescents (aged 15โ24 years), and 41ยท4 million adults (aged โฅ25 years) will have overweight or obesity by 2050โฆ.
Existing policies have failed to address overweight and obesity. Without major reform, the forecasted trends will be devastating at the individual and population level, and the associated disease burden and economic costs will continue to escalate.โ
