We’re doomed. Can’t believe we’re normalizing this shit.
When I’m king we’re bringing back fat shaming with a vengeance.
Now get off my lawn.

The waiting room also had fat-friendly seating. Besides the usual "waiting room" style of chairs, there were built-in benches along the wall and some chairs that must have been at least 30 inches wide, similar to the exam table you see in the picture.
I commented to Mrs. George how, during our education, people used to talk about the "normal 70 kg male." That's 154 pounds for you 'Murricans.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

It certainly is not genetics. Humans do not change that fast in evolution. Processed foods? Do people exercise less now? Too much sitting during the day?

Mostly diet I would imagine exercise or it’s lack being number two.
They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

Do you think we exercise less than people did in the 1960s?

I wouldn’t completely dismiss genetics in this. When my dad was middle aged, he was tall at 5’10”. These days, that’s average.

Let's define exercise. Going to the gym? Way more than in the 60s I'm sure, but overall, caloric expenditure (e.g., walking at home or at work or anywhere, really) I'd imagine is WAY less than in the 60s.
So if you combine processed/cheap foods increasing, and the decreasing exercise, that's a recipe for obesity.
When was the last time you got up to change the TV channel?
Wall-E was a very accurate movie.
Last comment... if you ever go into an auditorium that was build in the 50s, you'll feel how tight those seats are.

When I was 30 I was skinny as a rake. Now I'm anything but.
I'm going to blame genetics. Possibly also Jewish space lasers.
