its a cycle don't blame us. A skinny person goes and buys meat at the store and becomes fat then is deported to a farm where they only eat grass. Once killing season comes they are killed for their fat and sold back to skinny people.

2018-10-20 19:59

You mean 99%

2018-10-20 19:37

not in Venezuela and other parts of 3rd world.

2018-10-20 19:43

lul true

2018-10-20 19:52

tbh there are a lot of people in developning nations that are fat, because cola and frying oil is so cheap and available and they haven't adapted to good a good eating culture.

2018-10-20 20:13

who cares

2018-10-20 19:37

I care

2018-10-20 20:16

2018-10-20 20:33

the downfall of western society

2018-10-20 19:37

lmaoing at the male overweight legit skyrocketing in that graph

2018-10-20 19:37

USA solution was to raise the limits :D

2018-10-20 19:40

200 iq

2018-10-20 19:50

UK AND USA :D:D overweight = the disabled of peoples

2018-10-20 19:41

Well atleast africa have 2% of overweight

2018-10-20 19:42

It's a good thing if you ask me. being in the 30% fit makes it easier for you to get girls, less competition and you have higher value as a man.

2018-10-20 19:45

well most people on my age are normal weight, but its the older generation 40+ that are struggling with the weight

2018-10-20 19:56

less competition, more chances to be noticed by a fatty

2018-10-20 20:07

They are using BMI, which is just stupid. I'm 1.84 and weigh 95KG, I'm far from fat, but according to the BMI, I'm overweight (28 BMI). Admittedly, I didn't read the full article, but how did they come up with those numbers? I'm watching CS now Kappa EDIT, apparently I weigh 93KG now and not 95, still "overweight" according to the BMI though.

2018-10-20 19:55

Muscles I suppose?

2018-10-20 19:51

Yeah, I do have a little belly-fat, I'm not rocking a full on sixpack. But still. ;p

2018-10-20 19:54

BMI is a good scale for a population, not individuals.

2018-10-20 20:14

BMI is not stupid when used for a large scale research. Its made for that and should be only used for that. For a single person it is stupid.

2018-10-20 20:00

Yeah, you might be right. But, being that we have had this training "fad" for years now, maybe people just weigh more because of muscles. IDK, I'm going to read the full article later ^^,

2018-10-20 20:04

it is not like 30% of norway is lifting weights often. BMI is applicable in this situation to describe your populations health.

2018-10-20 20:15

No, I know. They are claiming that 70% of the Norwegian population is overweight. And, judging by my FB feed the last 7-ish years, people are really into doing crossfit and working out. Though, it has been less of those annoying post the last year or two. Maybe people stopped working out so that they could post and brag about it on FB and are just working out now. Or, Instagram, a site I've never registered on, is where they are at. But, yeah. I'm not going to try and say that using BMI overall, is wrong. I just found it a bit odd that 70% of our population is overweight.

2018-10-20 20:40

bmi is retarded af, my friend has something around 77kg and 180 cm, he looks skinny but he has muscles.. hes adult btw. Hes overweight

2018-10-20 19:52

Is that a typo? 77 / 180^2 = 23.7. That is nowhere near overweight

2018-10-20 20:11

wtf

2018-10-20 19:53

I think is because of you, we travel to Sweden to buy cheap bacon and soda. Thank mr Sverige

2018-10-20 20:00

yeah

2018-10-20 20:00

Norway is a boring shithole with nothing to do, so people fill the time by eating.

2018-10-20 19:54

hungary speaking LULW

2018-10-20 20:01

+1 hahha

2018-10-20 20:03

Killing gypsies is always a fun pastime here. In sweden if you even look at a refugee the wrong way you get locked up for hate speech.

2018-10-20 20:05

2018-10-20 20:06

2018-10-20 20:14

2018-10-20 19:57

We fat

2018-10-20 20:02

Nord-Trøndelag btw

2018-10-20 20:03

they are based in Trøndelag, but its about the norwegian population if you read the article

2018-10-20 20:11

I was just joking, I saw this article a few days ago. Sounds concerning, but I don't see much of it in my everyday life tbh (Student in Trondheim). Maybe I'm just bad at noticing fat people

2018-10-20 20:19

People on our age are mostly fit, but the older generation 40+ are usually fatter

2018-10-20 20:24

Ye true, I pretty much can't gain weight even if I'd like to haha

2018-10-20 20:26

Same problem - not that glad in food either, so that means I will have a harder time to gain weight

2018-10-20 20:30

overweight is a broad term and bmi can be tricky, obese is where america is king

2018-10-20 20:04

2018-10-20 20:17

rain fans come here

2018-10-20 20:04

there was a similar article in germany some days ago claiming 60% of german men are overweight. we are all fatty fat fat fat

2018-10-20 20:12

Earth 346% overweight and ?

2018-10-20 20:16

Well tbh overweight is a pretty broad term, there are people who are just barely overweight because of the shitty bmi system and these belong to the 70% as well, even though they don't even look fat. We're still not as fat as Americans.

2018-10-20 20:17

africa laughing at everyone rn

2018-10-20 20:18

i would say so fuck but they have public healthcare :(

2018-10-20 20:20

being big is cool

2018-10-20 20:20

where are these overweight people hiding? If it was a sample from people who are 50+, I would understand

2018-10-20 20:33

Wtf Everytime I'm in Oslo or Blindern I never saw that much of overweighted people Maybe some but definitely no more than 20% Is the north maybe more affected by that ?

2018-10-20 20:35

Did some research and found an article that said "47% of all men in Finnmark (northen Norway) are overweight." So I guess so

2018-10-20 20:58

That's a super strange data Maybe the "overweight" term is kind of fucked up? I mean, I never saw as few fat people as in Norway, been here for 2 months and I see you all running and shit at Sognsvann all the time. been to Rondane, to Jotunheimen, Trollheimen. Always a lot of people there hiking and doing all kind of healthy stuff. This study looks shady to me

2018-10-20 21:05

It's bad. Keep in mind that overweight does not equal fat though.
