Thats what Im talking about. When you are on a bus and everyone is obese you see them taking up multiple seats. On each bus there are only about 6 seats for the disabled. Obese people are disabled. Here they are taking up 1-1.5 seats per butt cheek. It aint right.
Since I was unable to sit down on the ride, which lasted about 20 stops (it seemed), I mean, I dunno. The Stop Requested sign went on at Every street. I believe its because obese people do not want to walk that extra one or two blocks to their destination. So everyone suffers because of their obesity
I had to stand the whole ride. Then one stood up and slimed my arm with her sweaty scalp. Im like ewww. Then the bus driver announced how Uber prices are currently cheaper compared to MTA bus rides. I wonder if Uber drivers accomodate obese passengers any differently.
It does not sound like you are cut out to live in NYC.

Dude, stop trollng! UBer rides are not cheaper than MTA rides. $2.75 can take you from 207 st to JFK airport via the A Train. Even if you take an Uber pool it will not be cheaper than $2.75.
For whatever reason, you hate fat people. You also have trouble with NYC ladies. Why remain here???
But that's only a problem if you don't have the active lifestyle to offset the caloric intake. Carbs aren't bad, they provide a lot of energy which is necessary if you lead an active lifestyle. What's interesting is that in developing countries with "heavy" cuisine, there is isnt an obesity problem.
Actually, carbs are bad if you want to build muscle and/or keep your cholesterol and triglycerides down.
I have always been active and a gym buff - because I love to run, but only recently have I quit bread (and not really). Even though I have always been within my weight range, my blood work was never perfect because I had preferred a high bread/ vegetarian diet, with no meat.
If you cut the carbs, you'll lose weight. If you cut the carbs *and* go to the gym, you'll actually build muscle and get toned.
If you don't cut the carbs but you go to the gym, you'll just lose weight, and you'll be a, "skinny fat" - a person basically who looks good in clothes, but whose blood work is nowhere near perfect.

Just sayin'
I don't cut or watch carbs and my blood work has always been text book exemplary. If one's aim is to build a certain physique then yes, you will have to make adjustments to your diet with the aim to lose fat and build muscle definition, but we're not talking about that at all. We're talking about the myth that carbs are "bad". One can be healthy, within the correct BMI range, all while eating carbs - or rather eating a balanced diet (inclusive of carbs).
Am thinking you need to read up on things. Obese people cost everyone more money by way of higher insurance premiums, so yes it *IS* my business. If such people want to eat until they explode or whatever, should do it on their own dime.

Am in disagreement. Can make my own burgers, fries and shakes or whatever at home for less.

The matter has become, what constitutes 'balance'? Until 10 years ago, dieticians promoted the idea that a diet where 65% of one's caloric intake coming from grain based carbs, including Wonder Bread, was the definition of balance.
One doesn't have to go full keto to have a healthy body and serum cholesterol, but most people still eat too much carbs, and much of it from very poor sources.
And to remain germane to the topic, if you don't like public transit in NY, or at least certain lines or between certain stops, got off yer a$$ and walk. Don't complain about obesity then display behaviors that contribute to it.
