Probably the craziest thing about obesity in the USA to me is while it's obscenely bad, it's only getting worse and not slowing down at all. All demos are getting fatter year over year, especially children. Even on the off chance that your statement isn't true now, it's only going to get much more true with time.
A weird thing that's happened to me personally, is I've been very consistent with my weight my entire life. And yet, I feel like in the USA I have been getting more comments than ever while I'm there that I'm too skinny and that my weight is unhealthily thin, and yet, I'm very much in the healthy weight range. I feel as though the overton window has shifted so far away from reality people don't even know what's correct any more.
