67.5% of adults in Latin America are overweight or obese, report says - UPI.com

Obesity is a leading threat to public health in Latin America and the Caribbean, undermining well-being, productivity and sustainability of health systems.

Title. One of the big issues with Latinas is:

1. Enormously high rates of obesity/overweight. Most of the countries that are decent to live in like Chile and Argentina have near American levels of obesity. In fact, I think in cities it might even be worse-these countries have lower rates of obesity because a lot of people in slums and rural areas are too poor to be fat. In America, rural and lower socioeconomic people have the highest rates of obesity.

2. Tattoos. A lot of women in countries like Brazil are rocking full sleeves. I personally find it very unattractive when a woman is covered in tattoos.

3. The rates of fatness are higher in women than in men in LA.

"The World Obesity Atlas 2025 projects that by 2030, about three in four adults in the Americas -- Latin America, the Caribbean and North America -- will have a high BMI: 73% of men and 75% of women. "

4. Obesity rates in America seem to be leveling off or even declining, presumedly due to the influence of GLP agonists. Meanwhile, Latin American obesity rates are skyrocketing. There is a very real near future in which America has lower rates of obesity than LA and much of SE Asia because those countries are too poor to afford GLPs.

i don't understand this argument, as just as many men are now out of the dating pool because of the same reason

if you have 100 women, 100 men, and 50% are obese, you end up with the same ratio
its not like all women are obese, and all guys are fit

exactly like this, and I hate to bring it up because people say it's "incel coded" but its absolutely true. Most men don't want a fat girl, but most men are also desperate for any type of girl so you have fatties that have ton of attention and now all you have to do is be skinny in america and you're automatically a 7

Because women tend to have higher obesity rates than men…
