Europe does have an obesity crisis, and also nearly half of adults overweight.

Hm?

"overweight" is a serperate medical category to "obese"

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip -4 points 1 month ago

Ok, but just like BMI, those categories include neither muscle nor bone mass.

That matters in the individual case, but not in the aggregate, unless we've any reason to assume americans have particularly dense BONES

I mean general guidence for parents was to force feed your child a gallon of milk every morning until like 2015 so they would grow up to have denser bones.

This is not satire btw.

Wtf are these numbers?! US is generally reported with just shy of 40% obesity rate, not 75%. And I cannot find ANY numbers for obesity on the WHO website for the US.

It's cut off, that's American Samoa which has a very large large population

10-40% (and rising) of the population being obese is indeed a crisis.
