I was 17 years old I could do 50 pushups without even straining while touching my chest to the ground.

I can still do 40 pushups right now

A study released this week has found that nearly 77% of young Americans are now too overweight to join up, a worrying statistic for military officials already facing recruitment challenges.

"Obesity has long threatened our nation's health. As the epidemic grows, obesity is posing a threat to our nation's security as well," the Council for a Strong America states in its new report.

Teenage boys NEED BRAS.


MIC DROP.

I had a friend who went back to the states for 2 years and came back here. He had turned completely obese. It was quite strange. He lost the weight again over time.

Actually I’m quite trim but I think it’s more genetics as I really don’t have a lot of time to exercise. I do like the Asian diet, much more seafood than red meat but I don’t like how they practice unsustainable fishing. Especially the Japanese and Chinese, I can’t say I’ve read much about secondary Korea being a culprit. I know we get this rep as being fat but honestly as I walk about I don’t see a lot of people who I would look at and say they are horribly fat. Of course I can’t go by just what I see but the way I hear about it on the news I really expect every third person I see to be obese but that is not the case. I was down south recently and didn’t notice many fat people. Obviously something is going on, I just don’t know where we are keeping all these morbidly obese people. I’m in a building with a few hundred people right now and I honestly don’t see anyone who I would look twice at weight wise. Where the hell are all these fat people
