CDC: Average American man lookin like Larry Holmes ...

[Flay Mayweather]

The BMI is bullshyt, and I'm in pretty good shape. I think it needs to be replaced with something that measures body fat percentage and lean muscle mass.

The best way to get measured is to find a gym with a BMI water tank

 

[AJtheOne]

well I ain't the average American man

 

[IAmGettingAMailOrderBride]

I'm 5'9 350lbs, so I'm above average

 

[Ezus Jezus]

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

It's worth noting that black men make up a small percentage of the US's population

 

[mortuus est]

Thecoli.com everyone makes 6 figures or at least 70k

Even though 50 percent of Americans make under 30k

@ the mad scramble "B-B-B-BUT WHAT ABOUT WOMEN"

Women being fat too doesnt make OK

It doesn't, but hopefully we can put this narrative asserted by feminists (read: white students with no real concept of opression) that men are given free reign to be fat while women are all starving themselves to fit some image to rest. It's obviously not true as American women are fat as shyt but there's still tons of nikkas tryin to simp.

Wouldnt be surprised to see black women at the top of the list in terms of obesity. Too many hoes concerned with looking 'thick'

So I looked at at the CDC PDF, and:

Average American woman, 20 and over: 5'4", 166 lbs, 37 inch waist

White Woman: 5'4", 165 lbs, 37 inch waist

Black Woman: 5'4", 188 lbs, 39 1/2 inch waist

Which begs the question: As black men, do we need to start puttin sistas on blast for bein obese? Not to be "hard on hoes" as some might say, but rather to keep our Nubian Queens from eating themselves to death

Not all of us crush cakes and pies, some of us eat healthy and exercise as a means to keep the attention of the opposite sex and to just feel good in general and not like a lethargic mouth breather

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

That waist measurement is a pretty strong indicator tho

I'd also like to point to the bar chart towards the bottom and how the average woman has surpassed the average man in terms of obesity despite how society "lets us get away with being fat" more

I dont know about that considering there isnt a BBM but there is a BBW.
