You are fat
According to article, Americans are (surprise surprise) fatter than ever. We all know that. We can go to any local WalMart and see it for ourselves. What I didn’t know, was what’s displayed so clearly in the above graph: the average weight of a U.S. male in 1999-’02 was 191 pounds.

The average weight was 191 pounds! I find that astounding. I’m 6’0″ and weigh between 165-175 depending on whether or not I have my layer of winter fat on yet and whether my thicker coat has grown in. I’m not especially big, or especially small, and thought (up until today) that I was average.

I just went and calculated, in a group of 3-5 people, how much someone would have to weigh if most of the rest of the people weighed the same as me, in order to meet the national average. I will save you from my geekery. Needless to say, it was a lot.

191 pounds on average!
