I have heard the opposite:

Munchies:
Looking at the data you posted, I am hesitant to say it's truly falling. In fact, the documentation even indicates that it's too soon to tell.

Honestly, I do not see it falling any time soon as the things needed to tackle the obesity epidemic is intertwined with other things that people refuse to tackle - poverty, food desserts, unwalkable cities designed by racist city planners (look up the history of Atlanta's city planning - it's actually insane), etc. etc.

Until we can tackle these things, the obesity epidemic will not go anywhere. No amount of Ozempic will fix that.

BromineMoon:
With obesity rates rising worldwide, does anyone else think that fat appreciation will become more commonplace?

52Percent:
Probably not because powerful people in the fitness industry like Coach Greg exist. That dude wants to pretty much eliminate the fats from existing by having ideas of taxing them like how we wanted to tax the rich.

Munchies:
Yeah, bigotry is on the rise as of late. I won;t get into the weeds of it all because I don't wanna. But for the purposes of this specific thread, I will say that people are getting a lil too comfy being needlessly cruel to other people in a multitude of ways.
