Then we are getting localized results differences. I spent a few seconds scrolling down those links and there are dozens of group shot photos of dozens of American school children. It’s anecdotal evidence showing that the majority of American children are not obese which you can see in those photos with your own eyes. If you don’t like anecdotes it’s followed up with the actual population level statistics from an authoritative source.
I see mostly healthy (80% or more) BMI kids in these photos.
2021 middle school America: https://www.google.com/search?q=2021+middle+school+america&c...
Again nearly all of them healthy BMI.
Moving away from anecdotes to statistics: https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/childhood.html
Not surprising 20% obesity and 80% healthy.
This is a tragedy that needs to be addressed but is not even close to non fat kids are being abused by fat kids now in America.
While the picture for adults is much worse, still only 42.4% of American adults are obese. A great tragedy that needs to be addressed but a “significant” majority of Americans are still at a healthy BMI.
