I'm not sure how Tennisace keeps getting away with these tabloid/fake outrage threads.

Because we keep entertaining them. lol

Surely not Dexterity!

You NEVER level dex. at least don't tell any1 if u do.

[Logwyn]

Umm, no it isnt. Try body fat percentage determined by skin calipers or DEXA scans.

Do some homework next time before you post more of this bullshit.

Isn't the water test a much better test than these?!

This was the top news story on reddit and also featured heavily on CNN and other major news websites. I don't appreciate your accusations.

[Moxal]

I saw this article on reddit and knew tennisface would be all over it.

It's understandable though, all anime fans are creeps and basement dwellers.

Wow.

@Video Games this guy is calling you out.

[TheCount]

I challenge you all to a funnel cake eating contest. Ready, set go!!

Welp when a Zombie apocalypse happens they'll get a good feast on in USA.

Fat people will probably be better off tbh, zombies are slow anyway, and fat people have excess nutreants to survive when food grows scarse.

You know assuming they arn't so fat they can't out run a zombie.

Obviously Tennisace is morbidly obese and hates himself which is why he always posts these threads about fatties being bad as a way to distance himself from his problem as well as take on the persona of a healthy adult. Thats why he never posts a picture of himself.

Well I'm 192lbs and 6.2ft with only 12% fat on my body, and bmi counts me as overweight. I'd like to have a word with him and my F!#KING BLACK KARATE BELT

Nice dude. You flame me out of the blue because I support healthy living and am against obesity. Even worse is that you fabricate your own reality and make false claims against me. 98%+ of this forum hasn't posted a photo.

How do we really know if Americans just aren't very muscular and that's why their BMI is so messed up.

Gotta ask yourself if a zombie is chasing a person who do you think will most likely survive, a fat person or non fat person?

Because everyone in the US is consuming soda and burgers all the time. Haven't you seen it on TV? Also they are far ahead when it comes to type 2 diabetes.
US is pretty much screwed health wise. Diabetes, obesity, no health insurance. Bingo.

Depends on how fat tho, most kinds of zombies are slow as shit your average fat guy who while fat isn't physically handicapped will be able to out run them while still having a store for when food is scarce.

I know u irl. Your eyes arent blue.

What if this one-third of the world population all stood on one side of our flat earth?

Could we flip this blue thing we live on around?

How do you feel about this? Are you obese? Overweight? Slim?

As the good Doctor says, most interventions don't seem to be working well so isn't it clear that we must do more?
I'm really disappointed in our politicians and their feckless behaviour. Seriously, take the hit and do what's right for your country.

http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ - world population has 7.5 billion. So how can we have 2 billion people being overweight with the US having 13% of its population (children and young adults, not minding adults obviously) as obese?

2 billion vs 7.5 is like really a lot and nothing those numbers in those reports explain this to me.

I mean just take asians. Are people generally obese there? Are african people?
Is it a problem? yeah ofcourse it is. Do government need to come with a solution? Yeah ofcourse they could. Sugar tax? Cheaper veggies? More expensive meat? Ban on fishfood for a certain amount of time? (we are cleaning out the oceans of fish)
