Then there are the millions more manufacturing and warehousing jobs that are overwhelmingly men.
The VAST number of construction jobs are filled by Hispanics--legal and otherwise. “President” Trump hasn't created a single job--just like “President” Obama never created a single job.

It is certainly much higher than 40% and many of them are females in their 20s who will likely have several decades of chronic disease.

While men tend to go quickly from health ailments, many of these women will have decades and decades of chronic disease that might contribute to bankrupting the country.

Not only that the female obesity epidemic means more shedding of virus for longer periods of time.

Thanks to President Trump though male obesity doesn't really seem to be increasing though with all the new construction and manufacturing jobs.
You cannot have typed the above with a straight face. From the CDC:

https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html

Click on the data brief.

"Among both men and women, the prevalence of obesity followed a similar pattern by age. Men
aged 40–59 (40.8%) had a higher prevalence of obesity than men aged 20–39 (34.8%). Women
aged 40–59 (44.7%) had a higher prevalence of obesity than women aged 20–39 (36.5%). For
both men and women, the prevalence of obesity among those aged 60 and over was not
significantly different from the prevalence among those aged 20–39 or 40–59."

There was no significant difference in the prevalence of obesity between men and women overall
or by age group.


Apparently it's "Women are to blame for everything up to and including the extinction of the dinosaurs" day and I missed the memo. Why don't you folks give it a rest with the women bashing.

One of the best things about living in Colorado is the lack of blubbery obese people. I love going to Wash Park on the weekend and seeing the level of fitness of the people here. I love going to the trails and seeing 70 year-old hikers and mountain bikers. I love how crowded the gyms are.

Diet and exercise, people.
I lived in Lone Tree for several years (just north of Castle Rock) and always marveled at the level of fitness displayed in CO. As an avid, hiker, biker, skier, etc I found it refreshing. I am not for shaming people that are fat, however. It is their business how they want to live their lives. You, as an anarchist should appreciate that.

Yep and hispanic men have much, much lower obesity rates than women because of the high percentage that work in calorie depleting fields.

El Paso is a good example. Strong and fit hispanic men, women that eat have lots of self-manufactured health ailments in their 20s from eating way too much and not going outside.

Lots of latinas have very severe allergies, asthma and respiratory issues and autoimmune disease because they never spent more than a few minutes a day outside.

https://stateofobesity.org/obesity-r...ends-overview/

51% of hispanic women are obese.

I was in El Paso and amazing how fit the men were and it's not just the construction workers either, but the large military population among other factors.

The latinas in El Paso, a majority are very obese because they go to UTEP to live off student loans like Kardashians, have as many babies as they possibly can for big welfare checks, have lots of allergies and asthma because they have spent very little time outside.

What will be interesting is that if they repeal Obamacare that many of the hospitals in Texas areas of high obesity will have less funding and it will overwhelm the system.

I used to watch the movie Idiocracy and laugh. Now it seems a lot less funny to me.


I know a lot of out of shape, fat construction workers. I guess "president trump" needs to be on-site to ride them harder.

This is why we have an obesity epidemic. No one burns thousands of calories per day except competive swimmers and marathon runners. A 200lb male working two 4 hour shifts of physical labor will likely burn about 700-800 additional calories. He might burn up to 150cal per hour for spurts but the when he hits a less active portion of his work that will decline.


Also the vast majority of warehouse jobs are not half as physically taxing as they were 50 or 3ven 20 years ago. Inventory is tracked by computer and more people are manning tablets than heavy equipment.

So if someone drinks 4 20oz cokes through the day they have already exceeded the calorie burn. It they add a pack of snack crackers they will have burned the calories from even 8 straight hours of strenuous labor.


It's too bad no one associated with the previous generation encourage proper diet and exercise? I'm sure that would have made them beloved and in no way incited cries of communism, government control or personal insults....

Scary, isn't it? I'm waiting for them to start advocating watering the crops with Gatorade because it has electrolytes.

Except his own.

If obesity is a sign of moral failure, then what does that say about Our Supreme Leader, God Emperor, the Most Holy Trump?

Of course it's their choice how they live their lives. As long as they don't violate the NAP they can do whatever the hell they want. But disparaging them on an anonymous internet message board isn't violating their rights. I'm just sick of this liberal PC culture of fat acceptance, where people like us are looked down upon if we take care of our bodies and people who eat crap food and don't exercise are venerated.

That's cool about Lone Tree; one of my good friends lives down there. And I agree 100% with you on how refreshing it is to live in a place where people actually care about their health.
