The Nihilistic worldview is the deciding factor. They believe in nothing, other than their own self advancement.
That said, there is a seeming correlation between overweight people in the US being Nihlistic as such. But hardly all, seeing as over half of the population is overweight now. Half of white people, equal for men and woman, higher for all minorities, but especially for their woman, with the exception of east asians, which are generally fit.
It takes an immigrant 7 years on average to become as overweight as the average American.
Information on weight demographics from the NHIS, the last paragraph from Harper's Magazine.
thats only because its the diet, likewise with japan.
The diet over the millennia has influenced their genetics as well, as does happen, so it's diet, genetic, and cultural.
You just wait until I get seated upright properly, and then catch my breath. I'm gonna curse at you sooooo hard
The Gulf States are some of the only societies with more overweight people than the US.
and those places are sinking into the gulf.
Turns out, living in a place that’s just not walkable most of the time will do that to you
i doubt they can walk far, if they are fat already. like significantly overweight people waddles around like penguin instead of an actually walking.
It’s not as comfortable, certainly, but there are very overweight people with active jobs (my husband’s a butcher, and this describes about a third of the people working in his shop- they’re on their feet and walking around, lifting half hogs and doing really physical work).
For most people, as long as you stay active, you can continue to be active. If you’re completely or mostly inactive, it will take some time to gradually build up your endurance, and that’s certainly more difficult, the more weight you have to move, but walking is very low impact. I’m not suggesting that two people with BMIs of 22 and 42, respectively, would have identical walking endurance, but it’s not uncommon in my very walkable German town to encounter very overweight people who walk a ton.
Walking is obviously better at burning calories than driving, but we’re really efficient walkers and it’s not very difficult to eat enough to be obese while using walking as your primary mode of travel. If you walk at a moderate pace with little incline for 2 hours a day at 150kg, you’ll likely burn between 700-1000 calories (way more information is needed to get an exact number), and you can completely neutralize that by eating an order of fries with mayo, or a container of Ben and Jerry’s.
Middle aged East Asian people are not physically fit lol. This is racialized faux intellectualism. Lemmy should have higher standards.
'Nihilism and body weight are linked'.. Source? 'Trust me bro'
I was talking about being overweight and obesity, the East Asians have the lowest rates, white people are about the second lowest at 50/50 fit and fat, blacks and Hispanics are higher, especially amongst the woman Folk, and I explicitly said the source of the National Institute of Health.
