taco bell

cheap food that comes in large portions and doesn’t taste like armpit

>>13372294
Subsidized HFCS as the first ingredient in every processed food and parents weaning spawn off breast milk to HFCS soda. By 2030, the US will be at 50%+ obesity and the right burys their head in the sand screaming about muh blacks, lol. Keep getting poorer and fatter stormers!

>>13372294
El ogro del Americano

>>13372294
Giving up on life and accepting a life of servitude to the state and lowering your expectations to such a sad point that everything is mediocre

>>13372294
Oils high in linoleic acid (soybean, safflower, etc) and high fructose corn syrup.

sedentary lifestyle and easy access to cheap, high-calorie food.

>>13372294
Japan and Korea are the only non-lard countries on this list.

Can I get a racial/ethnical breakdown.

>>13373588
that's what I was thinking.

>>13373588
sure but they have 5-5 110lb twinks. id rather be some 5-10 200 lb slightly out of shape unit that probably still counts as obese here than that

>>13372405
This

>>13373622
Awful racist of you

Junk food, fast food, soul food.

>>13373696
It's okay. Data isn't racist.

>>13373622

Asians win again, as usual.

>>13373699
>non Hispanic
What about non Muslim.

>>13373710
They need to filter out Muslims from all of that including within the asians.

>>13372405
HFCS and vegetable oils don't make you fat.

Calories in -> calories out.

Simple as.

>>13372294
Corn subsidies.

>>13373710
>Asians win again, as usual.
Would they still win if they accounted for
>Bone density, and body fat percentage.

>>13373710

>>13372294
Very cheap high calorie processed food, mostly. Culture plays a part too, seems like USA has more "i'm morbidly obese but that's healthy and sexy" people who tell each other it's okay instead of pushing each other to do better and lose weight. USA has even had a few female celebrity musicians make songs about how being fat is awesome and skinny girls suck and they got pretty popular.

>>13373730
>calorie dense foods don’t increase your calorie intake
You’re a special kind of brain dead

>>13373730
Yes, sugars and fats do tend to make foods more calorie dense though so in some ways it is causative, just not how most people believe it to be.

>>13373710
>Asians win again, as usual.
And blacks are last again, as usual.

>>13373737
Trannies destroyed

>>13373741
They do, but these substances are not higher on calories than normal sugar or butter.

>>13372396
Muh right wing bogeyman lmao

>>13373730
>HFCS and vegetable oils don't make you fat.
HFCS sure as hell does. You might want to look up "glycemic index". It literally triggers your body to flood insulin & store all that sugar as fat.

>>13373757
I'm guessing Trannys would have the lowest body fat & BMI, you know, cause AIDS.

>>13373760
>HFCS sure as hell does.
Just eat less food.

>>13373774
>doesn’t understand biochem
>weighs in anyways
You’re what’s wrong with online nutrition advice

>>13373699
Soul food is good as hell for getting jacked
Like, if you actually expend a lot of energy, eating a bunch of fatty meat, butter, and carbs is very good for you

>>13373760
Triglycerides do not equal weight. The mere presence of insulin does not incite weight gain

>>13373791
So what biochemist concept exists that states HFCS magically makes you fat like you stated? Because insulin spikes dont make you gain weight.

>>13373819
Anon stop, you’re making an ass of yourself.

>>13373760
>It literally triggers your body to flood insulin & store all that sugar as fat.
With excess calories from it or no? The guy who lost weight while getting most of his calories from Twinkies seems to show that it's still just counting calories that matter, because Twinkies mostly use corn syrup/HFCS as a sweetener.

>>13373791
stop lying to yourself.

people get fat because they eat too much..

end of story

>>13373730
Harder to feel full when you're eating things that don't stop ghrelin waves.

Here's an article about linoleic acid. It recommends a diet high in vegetable oils....for fattening up cows.
https://www.news-medical.net/health/Oils-Rich-in-Linoleic-Acid.aspx
>An advantage of adding oils to the cow’s diet is an increase of energy density and energy intake by the animal.
In other words, not only do vegetable oils make fatter cows, but they make the cows hungrier overall.

Americans are toys for people to fuck with. No one gives one living shit if they live or die. So the rest of use basically want them to die. The more that die the more they're forced to wake up from their coma.

Americans are uneducated and slaves to their corporate overlords. Any effort to address obesity is seen as COMMUNISM.

>>13372294
most access to the best food, general prosperity, and lack of labor intensive work

>>13373903
>Americans are toys for people to fuck with
This is the timeline that all the foreigners wish they were in. They're all dogs that want to bite the hands that feed them, but they could only pretend to on the internet, because all non US countries are shit.

>>13373919
Shut up fatty

>>13373941
You can't take home the leftover food Lola.

>>13373877
>Harder to feel full when you're eating things that don't stop ghrelin waves.
you're not supposed to feel "full"

you're not a car tank.

>>13373710
what's going on with women?

>>13372294
American meal proportions are gigantic. It's like they're eating for 3 people. I could never finish half of it but they'd just gulp it all down without swallowing like starving dogs. It's almost scary.

>>13372396
You do know nogs have higher rates.

>>13373665
This. The men and woman look literally identical if hair cut was the same. Asians are so weak looking

>>13372294
HFCS in everything

>>13372294
idk but it's weird that no one really talks about it that much. i hear more about the opioid epidemic than the fact that the majority of the country is killing itself with garbage food and lack of exercise. think about the impact of most of your population being unhealthy. it's a huge drain on productivity and resources.

I'd like to see a chart with average weight too not just obesity rates. Some of these countries seem close on graphs like these but if you visit any of these countries and then the US you will see that they are on a completely different level because the number of obese people who are really fucking enormous seems to be way higher there.

>sugar
>processed foods
>food deserts
>poverty
Sugar filled fatty food is abundant and cheap as fuck and lower educated lower class families are pretty much indoctrinated and slaves to sugar. Children shouldn't even be anywhere near Soda or sugary Juices but they're chugging them down their fat gullets every day.

>>13374002
You're supposed to stop feeling hungry.

Processed food is responsible for all of it, america was ground zero.

>>13372294
Americans in general are more content, so it's harder to get motivated to fix an issue they might see as minor compared to all the entertainment surrounding them on their comfy couch in their air conditioned home and big screen TV. When you have so many things that make you happy, you're less likely to worry about the things that don't.

>>13372396
Somehow I doubt it's republicans screaming for fat-acceptance and crying about fat-shaming.

Frozen foods play a big part since working families are either too busy or lazy to cook for their husbands/wives/children

Not to mention the US is spread out so not much walking and a lot of driving. If it weren't for major cities, that number would be much higher

>>13376632
Dont Mexicans have even higher rates? I remember reading that Mexico is the fattest country there is.

>>13372294
first in yet another thing i see. third worlders seething

>>13378836
Mexicans drink more coke than water. It's expected to have a bottle of coke with a meal

I think the solution is to force fatties to eat with chopsticks

It's dairy and sugar. Go to mainland China, where dairy and sugar are consumed in moderation: everyone thin as fuck. Then go to westernised HK. 50% obesity rate.

>>13372294
Fuck sugar.

>>13378856
What about Guatemalans and the rest of those Central American creatures? All of them seem to balloon into overstuffed piñatas in their late teens

>>13373730
Lmao this isn't a Keto hate thread. That shit doesn't fly here, people actually use their brains!

When you eat, you should stop feeling hungry you damned CICO megafaggot
People don't like being hungry. Feeling full while taking in less calories is objectively superior to any other way. It helps stop unhealthy eating habits.

I think that one anon forgot to tell 40% of americans about CICO.

>>13372294
the same standards that say the average male and female at an average height and age range should weigh so much given so many minutes/hours of exercise a day. but yes, most americans are ridiculously fat and disgusting

>>13378918
Jesus the absolute fucking state of that delusional fat kid’s cope @1:00

>>13372396
subsidies for corn in general. chips and soda are both corn products. subsidized corn and soy is also fed to cattle which makes the meat quality worse

>>13378979
But isn't that what it's really about? Obese people routinely eat more calories than are needed to maintain their weight

>>13373710

>Obese
>Extreme Obese
>Alaska Native

>>13372294
Just look at number two on that list and you have the reason for number one. Most of the lards in the US are either brown or honorary browns

yes, Americans

Oh so I guess it doesn't matter than

Fucking idiot.

>>13373710
Because they're the race with the lowest levels of testosterone

>>13379282
Is that how you excuse your obesity? You're "high test and big boned"?

>>13372294

>>13379437
There are no hambeasts in my country. Also why do you get triggered by scientific facts? There's nothing wrong with saying Asians have lower T levels compared to other races

>>13380564

Look in the mirror.

>>13380573
I'm 50kg, Chang

>haha roughly 2 out of every 5 people are obese you're so faaaat
>we however are only about 1 out of every 4, take an example from us amerilards
Slender waisted americans are insulted by obese europoors on the internet daily. Hypocrites.

That list is fake tho, the US is like number 15 or something in obesity but all the other countries above americans are sub 50k population islands or some shit.
Americans are fat because they don't cook and their food chains give them gigantic portions. Americans like to feel like they need to get their 'moneys worth' of food so the restaurants have been increasing portion sizes to ridiculous degrees, not only that but americans feel the need to finish the meals they eat completely otherwise it would be considered wasteful. Add that to the fact that the food is super charged with sugar and corn syrup you get the perfect combination for a nation of fat fucks

>>13378920
>Feeling full while taking in less calories is objectively superior to any other way
put the fork down please even for a sec, eating wont fill your void, truth hurts i know

>>13372294
i think we have the problem, for many people eating is connected too much to (good) feelings,emotions, their life is boring and they only find joy in stuffing their mouth with garbage food

Companies make billions fattening us up.

This most effective, natural form of weight loss is vilified because nobody can profit from it.

>>13374027
fat women can still get laid easily, while men generally have to make at least some kind of effort at not being total butterballs.

>>13372294
Ok now divide that obesity rate by race

>>13381830
do you have brain damage?

>>13374027
>what's going on with women?
Have you seen how much a lot of them eat? Most of them eat as many calories as guys and don't exercise at all.

>>13373665
>implying twinks are bad

>>13372294
Probably 90% of the people here

Sugar and corn syrup.

>>13372294

you've obviously never paid for a gym membership

>>13381843
do you

I'm from Germany, and I've spent some time in the US too.

One thing I noticed is how 'commercialized' food is in the US. When people go to Walmart, Kroger, Costco,..., they're always looking for what's on sale, or wow look, that's "buy 3, get 1 free", yes just what i needed, i only actually came here for two cans of beans, but now i better get 4 because it's cheaper!!!! It also seems like the quantities are always bigger too. We don't really have that in Germany. People just buy what they need.
In the US, they sell these absurdly large bottles of soda. Portion sizes in general are really big. You get some take out Chinese food for one person, you get enough rice to feed a family of 4.
You also see all these chain restaurants like Applebees, Olive Garden, TGI Friday's, that of course have ads and commercials everywhere. In Germany, we don't really have chain restaurants like that (exceptions exist). It's mostly local. People like going to their local Italian restaurant, not to Domino's or PizzaHut. People like going to their local Chinese restaurant, not Panda Express.


By the way, I don't think that any of the things I just said about the US are necessarily bad or negative. Though they're not necessarily good either.

>>13382417
By the way, I don't think that any of the things I just said about the US are necessarily bad or negative
In the context of why is the US more obese than a handful of Pacific islanders and muslims, it is pretty negative. Why would you think otherwise unless you have a fat fetish.
