[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Millennial is 1981-1996
Gen Z is 1997-2012
Gen Alpha is 2013 to 2025

The very oldest millennial would have had to have had a kid before 31 to have birthed a Gen Z kid. Most millennials have Gen Alpha kids. Gen Z is mostly kids of Gen X.[/quote]

Gen Z is also the most ethnically diverse generation. I’d like to see the obesity stats by race and SES.[/quote]

SES is key I think. I go to a very diverse school and don't see a correlation with race. All of the kids from richer families are thin.[/quote]

+1 it’s a low income and rural thing. You don’t see much severe obesity in DC, even in poorer communities. I live in Arlington and I very rarely see someone who is morbidly obese. Back home in my small town in NC? You can’t go anywhere without seeing it. [/quote]

You and I must go to very different places in DC and the closer suburbs. I see legions of fat black teens and especially 20 some things in the district.  I see very fat Latino, children, teens, and young adults in the district and Prince Georges County.

I see roly-poly Asian kids around Rockville when I shop there. And I’m not sure their parents country of origin, but I’ll just say children whose families immigrated from the Middle East. The teen boys, especially plump in Fairfax County.

PP was right. Go spend some time at a large mall.  Get away from the private school corridor on Wisconsin Avenue in DC.
