> 75% of America is either overweight or obese right now.

Do you have a citation for that? I'm seeing numbers closer to 30% (which is still bad).



https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/obesity-overweight.htm

"Percent of adults aged 20 and over with overweight, including obesity: 73.6%"


Woah, I stand corrected. That's insane.


The BMI tables are fairly unexpected. 5'8" normal range is 125-158 and at 125 you look like you run the 2 mile in track.

Of course that also shows how many Americans are overweight since the scrawny track kid is considered super skinny.
