LIES!

See:
But the UAB researchers found that when people were actually weighed, the numbers didn't add up.

Mississippi was fourth and Alabama was in the middle of the pack, Howard said.


By comparing the BRFSS self-reported weight data with the REGARDS scale-weight data, researchers found that most everyone fudges, or underreports, their weight when asked on a telephone.

Turns out that Southerners fudge less, he said.


In the telephone survey results, the East South Central region, which includes Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky, ranked highest. But when weighed, that southern region ranked fifth.

Yeah, but unless the rate at which people lie has changed in the past 20 years, the general trend still stands.

Huh? The data on the reports were undervalued. After ascertaining the correct values, then they get a different ranking. The "general trend" relied on false data...

They could be just getting stronger/musclier.

It is quite easy to have a BMI that says you are overweight (24+ iirc) yet have a body fat content kicking around 10%.

I mean people are still getting fatter. Every single region has gotten significantly fatter. Maybe they're less fat in the south or whatever, but unless back in 1985 people were lying 5x times more than now, then the average american still has gotten way fatter.

Oh, yeah, sure, but I'd like to inform everyone that people in the south are fat, upstanding citizens; whereas, people everywhere else in the US are fat liars. Carry on!

I have the same BMI (like 27) now that I had my junior year in college. My body fat content in 2000 was about 12% to 15%. My body fat content now is much higher, although not measured.

Blame the food producers. It is all their fault for putting all kinds of crap in our food at the insistence of their alien overlords. Our grocers are fattening us up for the alien dinner plates.

Pretty sure they are eating all the Americans first.

With the exception of Mexico, I notice the 5 most obese nations in the world are the Five Eyes.

Are there genetic characteristics specific to English people or perhaps it has to do with English food? Perhaps it is the centrality of food in the English language (i.e. "Are you hungry for this victory?")

After reading the article one could similarly deduce that Southerners didnt care enough about their obesity to even lie about it?

In RL a person has to do something physical or sacrifice something to lose weight, which takes effort, and quite a bit of effort for some.
In this case however, all the person had to do to drop ten pounds instantly was lie about it, and they were too damn lazy and too comfortable in their mass, to even put the effort into that. Its even worse than we previously thought, IMHO.
