"The average American woman weighs 166.2 pounds" Wow! I weighed less than that when I got out of high school.

Me too. However I have gained weight each year and I am now past the average.

I remember touring some colonial homes and looking at the beds and the clothes, etc. back when I was a boy. I was astounded at the smallness of what I saw. I’m wondering if the average size of Americans has grown overall.

You can thank the govt’s food pyramid for the expanding American.
Feeding high calorie carbs to activity restricted individuals is how we used to fatten beef cows. And it works every time.

I don’t know.
I think Americans are taller than they were in the sixties. Women over six feet tall used to stand out. They don’t now.
I don’t think people can be taller without weighing more.

Much of the additional 30 pounds is amyloid plaque and sawdust in the brain pan. There is no other explanation for two Bushes, a Clinton, and an Obama as President, with yet another Bush and another Clinton being serious contenders for the Presidency.

Thank lack of personal self-control and super-sized meals and drinks.

But don't you dare engage in telling a morbidly-obese woman that she should exercise more and eat less.
The feminists will shriek at you over "fat shaming".

166 lbs is how much a man 5 feet 11 should weigh to be healthy. For the average woman about 5 feet 5 that’s about 40 lbs overweight. Sorry.

Spend a half hour in Wal-Mart some day and it will make a believer out of you.

Is Obesity a Disease or a Moral Failing? It's an outcome of eating too many calories.

It’s because of “fast food” and more spare time.

Maybe we should all start smoking again. It would help with the weight.

I blame the fatness of Americans on antibiotics. Farmers have been giving antibiotics to meat animals for about 50 years, knowing that it would make them bigger and fatter. Now, it’s messed up out gut flora and we get big for the same reason.
