Bridging The US Inequality Gap: Modern Women Now Weigh Same As 1960s Men
While most "inequality" discussions these days are focused on male-female pay, black-white opportunities, or rich-poor wealth, there is one in which the 'lesser' half of the unequal equation is gaining... that of weight. As WaPo reports, American women now weigh the same as American men did in the 1960s.
Since 1960, women's weight-flation is up 18.5%, handily out-flationing men who are up 17.6% bodyweight.
The average American is 33 pounds heavier than the average Frenchman, 40 pounds heavier than the average Japanese citizen, and a whopping 70 pounds heavier than the average citizen of Bangladesh. To add up to one ton of total mass, it takes 20 Bangladeshis but only 12.2 Americans.
Digging into the details, we find that it is women over 30 who have really stepped up their game...
When will the protests begin? When will men start to demand even more calories as their 'right' as women gain weight paying no attention to the poor downtrodden starving males in the population?

We Amish enjoy a tough hearty female. She's a good workhand around the farm.
"Stuffed and Starved: Markets, Power and the Hidden Battle for the World's Food System
by Raj Patel
Unless you are a corporate food executive, the food system isn't working for you. If you are one of the world's rural poor dependent on agriculture for your livelihood - and roughly half the global population of 6 billion fall into this category - you are likely to be one of the starved. If you are an urban consumer, whether an affluent metropolitan or slum-dwelling industrial labourer, you are likely to be one of the stuffed, suffering from obesity or other diet-related ills."

I wonder how much this study costed?
I would have completed it with an afternoon trip to WalMart for just 833 oz AU (likely half what these clowns were paid).
Correlation is not causation.
(Snicker.)
Just one of Hitlery's ass cheeks...
Is weight the only metric that has changed since the 60's?
Are people in general any taller than they were then?
Japan is not exactly known for its population of giants, and Nepolian decimated the French male healthy brreding stock ( so the french are smaller than most european men )
This one needs a grain of salt....
They're an inch taller. And 30 lbs heavier. You do the math.
I would imagine that the welfared class fared well in the weight gain contest.
weight, height, Japan midgets, French males are not it...
Caitlin and Bruce are neaarly same weight, height, midget, males, etc...
Motheer un-natural (duped...as in Gaia not mother?)
me bad, sorry ladies.
Mostly missing "at heart"
My old lady is Polish, BBW, blonde, broad-shouldered and can crack walnuts with her yoga-tight butt cheeks. When we lived around the Amish in Lancaster County, PA, the Amish women knew she could break them like a twig over her Euro-thighs.
Who needs Match.com ? You wanna meet fat chicks just go to the Burger King.
I am underperorming as usual but my go ugly early strategy is still working.
I prefer Walmart. Much better selection.
Sounds about right.
I saw a woman this morning whose ass weighed more than I ever did in the sixties.
Just her ass or you are counting "her ass" as "her".
Or was she just mostly ass so it doesnt matter anyway?
Was she a woman withs a big ass? Or jus a big ass woman? Thes be a diffins.
That sounds like the title of Billyboy Clinton's college thesis.
"women with a big ass..."
oh mi,

... you take one 800lb woman and nine 100lb woman and you get average of 170lb ...
Doesn't explain the averages going up over time. Which. is. the. point. of. the. post. Einstien.
A plausible theory is that with the advances in medicine that obese people are living longer and so driving up the average over time.
Not that you are "Einstien", Einstein.

That video had a similar effect as jumping into a snow melt-fed swimming hole.
The Venus of Wallendorf is slimmer. Anybody touching that is committing a crime against nature.
Are you aware that the vast majority of obese women suffer from chronic yeast infections? Yeah, changes their chemistry. Probably never seeing the light of day or fresh air doesn't help, either.
You know what though it looks like the peak , I think we hit peak obesity, people finally realizing we tooooo dammmmn fat and looking for and correcting the root causes.
Misallocation of capital, overconsumption, cheap supply via subsidization, vendor financing, etc
GMO's, HFCS, Boxed-Shit Food, Anti-Biotics, Growth Hormones, Fucking Marxist Fat-Acceptance Movement, Anti-Smoking, Inflation causing cheaper food to be bought, god only knows what other shit they put in food now that we don't even know about yet.
I am not absolving people of their personal responsibilities, but, there are a lot of factors here working against the common people.
Fail. You listed a lot of bullshit reasons. There is only 1. The war on fat, which caused a shift to the high carb diet most follow.
What planet do you live on?
Sans these threads on ZH, I can't recall the last time I met anyone willing to go after the root cause of anything. (Dr. Ron Paul being the closest)
Instead, they ALL focus on managing symptoms. Mostly via pills.
does anyone have a good guess for hitlary's weight?
I'll take the over on a buck fifty per cankle
that's a safe bet imo
each piano leg must go about 40 lbs.
165-170
so that runt isn't fat, she's average. LOL!!
lol she's fat but she looks short!
thank goodness I am tall an active. Go long scooters!
Nice, watch yer doin' in this joint baby? /s
Protecting my firm financial ass. :-)
Ten stone
I'd say a good 12-13 stone. But that wide load of hers. Geeesh, it's absolutely no wonder Slick Willy does what he does best.
piano legs, 2x40=80, ass =35, arms, 2x10=20, corpus=40, head=8
Grand total=183
Perfect. 13 stone comes in at 182 lbs (and not soaking wet, lol).
Old Pants Suit will wait until her fee of $250,000 is met.
Ugh.
Hey baby wanna make $14.00 the hard way........
You're no gentleman! [/Judge Smails]
all one needs to do is go to a walmart, they are all there.
Go to a Walmart in an area that has a lot of Illegal's and Section 8 and prepare to be amazed! The women wandering around there, with their kids are something else. Not that it's surprising that women have kids, but these 'women' are so brutally ugly, so awful looking, so hideous as to turn any Outie, you might have as a Man, into it's best imitation of an Innie. You wonder how they actually got pregnant. The husband or baby daddy must have had a six pack or more, just to even get the courage to look at some of these women naked. It boggles the mind. You would only hope, that you'd pass out, before it happened, so you wouldn't remember anything. It might even be 'Sleep Rape', I don't know.
Fat chicks need love too, they just gotta pay for it.
What you do with the fat chicks is roll them in flour and fuck the wet spot!
I just "love" that fat pig who looks like she just got out of bed, wearing flip-flops and sweat pants (gym clothes) waddling around with that 40-ounce "cup" filled with a soft drink. No shame. And no self-respect.
Very funny posts! Not so funny living with the same women for 15+ years and hear her complain that she can't get a good nights sleep.
It's a living hell. I'm sure more jokes will come from this post, but really, it's not funny at all. As far as weight goes, humm, walk more eat less.
"Well, if you would get up and move around a bit, that might help" (What Bay of Pigs says to ALL overweight men and women).
PS on my 12th or 13th year of at least 1000 miles walking per year.
+1000
Been running 30 years. Still can beat 7min mile and 24 min 5K. And I'm 92 kg.
As long as we still make Bigger and Bigger Pick-up Trucks with Bench Seats, our country will survive.
I'm guessing the market for smart cars and underpowered compacts is not going to pick up any time soon.
Thats why I moved to Colombia.....
I found the Colombian gals to be quite beautiful facially and breast wise. But...somewhat stout on the backsides.
However, they can drink and dance any Merikan man (this one included) under the table. They don't get cranked up until about 3 am.
Go to any store or mall and the women remind me of being on a hog farm. Anyways - most of them are taller laying down then they are standing up. Pathetic.
Europeans had better be careful as Americans don't have the market cornered on being obese sweat hogs. Belgium has quite a few, rest assured.
The kicker is the cigarette...epitomes of health, I tell ya.
"She's a big, fiesty woman. Ya might be able ta knock 'er down, but won't dooze you no good, as she'll just get 6 inches taller."
gross domestic product
Wow . a new gender studies topic.
Grants should be available on Thursday.
Endless growth, Krugman's wet dream.
Perhaps their Obummercare out of pocket premiums should be proportional and their subsidies inversely proportional to their average quarterly weight.
The womens chart looks like a bull market. Headed for another strong breakout to the upside.
BTFD.
Long consumables! Let me check Frito-Lays' owner's stock (PEP) while I have a minute...
Probably correlates perfectly with Monsanto, Heinz, General Foods, Kellogg's, etc. On the other hand, if McDonald's is any indication, the trend is reversing.
They are not called "fat" girls anymore, now they are called "empowered" women.
They are certainly throwing more weight around.
Before they respond, let them chew on that for a minute....
Whoa, that Hitlery, THAT is one Singnifi CUNT Wilde Best Carc ASS
SHHE GOTTA BE BUCKIN 2 BILL, THAT FAT FUCKING WHORE, As if voting for one of these fucking douche bags matters, they are all slaves to the same dick puppet slave master financial lobby..
In 1960, there were no "go large" offers or free soda pop refills. Imagine a normal burger, small fries, and a small coke USED to be a normal-sized meal. That's probably a kid's meal now.
There also were no computers and TVs with 350 channels to choose from.
You had to get up, just to change the channel! And there were only 13 channels! Now there's 350, 400 or more channels and there's STILL NOTHING GOOD TO WATCH!
and maybe 20 of those channels are watchable
Guys are heavier too, but we don't care.
Speak for yourself. If I hit 12% bodyfat I cut out all carbs and fruit from my grazing until I get back comfortably under 10%. But I don't really care about weight unless I hit about 195 because then I have either dress casual more often or blow a fortune on new suits and dress shirts.
Lets check weights five years after the dollar crashes.
Of course, according to the FDA and the food industry, the use of hormones in meat, milk, etc, has nothing to do with the early development of prepubescent children or obesity and diabetes in young adults. So, it must be caused by something else.
That something else is the lower average IQ among fatties. Stupid people generally eat crap.
Yo mama's so fat, when she wears high heels, she strikes oil
At the risk of sounding repetitive, it all has to do with everyone quitting smoking...
Compare and contrast...

Standard Disclaimer: The fatter you get, the less sex you get, the less calories you burn. Now that you feel unattractive, you hit the trough to make up for your shortcomings, gaining more weight, etc., etc.
It's a god-damned vicious cycle of low self-esteem fueled by electric-powered Walmart riding-shopping carts...
Thanks for the post. I can live with croaking off from being a smoker(no pun intended) but by God, I refuse to be, or die, a fat man.
Oh yeah, who wouldn't take a decent figured smoking lady over a non-smoking fat hog?
If some of them merely spent as much time exercising as they do tanning, torturing hair, getting nails done, and receiving tattoos, they'd likely be much slimmer.
Those Neanderthal genes are keeping me hooked on tobacco, but I am a relatively slim caveman.
One thing about fat chicks , they are always eager to please and its a guaranteed blow job at least.
now don't be hatin the ride-on shopping carts...wonder if the revenue makes up for the maintenance on them things
Trash talking women sounds funny and easy, I'm laughing as well with all these posts.
Not so funny that women are our mothers, sisters, girlfriends, better half, your daughter.
Let's see that they live just as happy and a long life as us men if not longer. And they live the best life that they can dream and live life to its fullest.
I don't think that those who despise fat women are necessarily all misogynists.
Women can carry a litte extra weight and still be extremely attractive I am far more critical and intolerant of fat man slobs and can barely disguise my contempt.
I have often stated that it is the only group that should suffer from predudice.
Where self control and education have failed, perhaps increased fees by weight, public scorn,ridicule, and humiliation can succeed.
Why are taxpayers feeding parasites until they are morbidly obese?
Shouldn't food assistance be means tested?
All it really takes is for a man and women to be treated equal. I'm talking pay, chores around the house, getting to get out of the house on a equal basis. Doing things together, share in each other's happiness. Not that hard if you ask me. First step is having fun together.
Dammit, I misspelled prejudice, but they won't let me edit and I haven't even been junked, yet!
Holy crap!
I'm sorry I got so mad at you about your "chill the tap water" post, Bighorn (my excuse is that I am worried that the stupid water from my tap isn't safe).
That was a very civilized thing that you just wrote.
The thing is, I am slim but my poor brother weighs over 400 pounds; he has tried everything to lose weight (and he's not stupid at all); almost all people who are fat don't want to be; being mean to them is just rotten.
Your poor brother is fat because he pigs out on carbs. He will lose the weight if he stops eating carbs. It's really that simple.
How to gauge your wealth..http://wealthometer.org/US/index.html
Didn't you hear? ...200 lbs is the new 140 lbs!
Thickness bitchez!
Awesome, so can we now send them out to the front lines and let them serve???
After the Great Reset, when fat women won't have a lush welfare state and makework jobs to replace the men who go limp at the very sight of them, this won't be a problem any more.
Single women passed over on the marriage market will only be able to make money on their backs. Everything else women can do better than men can be computerized. Guess what, girls? There aren't that many men into fat chicks able and willing to buy it, and after the Great Reset sex will be a lot cheaper than it is today.
Hit the gym, girls. Tomorrow may be too late.
Blame it on High Fructose bacause they want to make their pussies taste sweeter.
Artificial sweetners, it makes the consumer hungry...
Soon they will grow so lush and large that you men will try to fasten yourselves, remora-like, to their ample sides.
We fattened-up some folks.
Like Pigs to the slaughter house.
(The Leviathan of Supernatural would be proud).
So, what they are saying is, American women can kick a Frenchman's ass?
cigarette smoking. inverse proportion. thats it
This is depressing. I'm going to look for an Ukrainian export...
