6. They've also changed the weight tables to determine who is obese
Of that 23%, I bet there are a lot of people on that list who, 30-40 years ago, would not have been considered obese. In today's society, if you aren't UNDERWEIGHT by 10 pounds or more, you're considered 'fat'.

Women used to have curves. A little belly. And fleshy thighs and a round butt. Now, if you don't look like boobs on a stick, you're considered fat. And the boobs are most likely fake.

Marilyn Monroe is probably rolling over in her grave, seeing what passes for 'beauty and fitness' nowadays.
