With obesity at 66% (in the United States) I think the average life expectancy will start going down.

1900/day isn't very extreme. It's what I do on days I don't go to the gym (and 2200/day on days I do go). And I'm not underweight either--I'm within the healthy BMI range. People just eat too much food!

66% is overweight OR obese[1]. Being overweight doesn't pose as many health-risks as being obese.

Heck, obesity correlates well with life expectancy but that's probably because sickness causes weight loss.
