The european mind can't comprehend this

Edit: noticed the first map is from 2018. Here is more recent one:
It gets much worse when you look at the outliers. 9.4% of the US had severe obesity (BMI>40) in 2023.
The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany are around 1%, I couldn't even find a number for France that was more than "<1%".

Honestly better stats for the US than I thought they'd be. Surprised that my state's obesity rates are better than any number of European countries despite the situation here still not seeming great.
Wondering if that is an endorsement of things my state is doing right or an indictment of the countries in Europe that are somehow worse.
Note that this Obesity (BMI over 30). 76% of the US is overweight (BMI over 25)..

There's a percentage of my fellow Americans who have been waiting for the opportunity to be placed in a self defense situation.
It's a tragedy. Oh God.

How the fuck is Florida at 28%?!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say some fat people may surprise you with their strength. They throw around more weight quite often, it's stamina that's lacking. A single, forceful attack is believable to me.
My BIL is literally twice my weight,if not more; and has several inches of height on me.
Severity can be promoted by need. For example, his drunk ass wanted to get off the couch to threaten his sister (my wife). I introduced him to the floor, rapidly.
Speed and skill can overcome size. That being said, I've always been on the smaller side of stature and weight, and a hit from someone twice your size hurts when they connect. Period.

I've seen enough videos on the internet to know europeans are not afraid to beat the shit out of a pickpocket.

As someone that experienced childhood abuse and now deals with anger management issues, I 'agree' with the average American on the point that "violence solves all problems"/violence is the go-to tool and not the last resort... It's not right though!

If violence wasn't your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it. -

Yeah this meme is more like Americans getting pickpocketed on vacation vs at home, only the at home one has gun violence

And then there's people like my once naïve ass, who just blunder their way through attempted muggings. The first time someone tried to mug me, this guy was asking for money at like 2am, and when I told him I couldn't help him, he said, "You know, I got heat." I told him that was good, at least, because my landlord was a dick and my apartment was cold as hell, since they still hadn't turned on the heat for the building. Got back home, and my wife was like, "You idiot, you know he was telling you he had a gun, right?"
