[quote=Anonymous]OP, you're just an all-around shallow thinker if you couldn't figure out any number of ways your hypothesis could possibly be flawed before you posted it. How embarrassing for you.

Some other PPs covered a lot of it.

-You're comparing movie stars from the 70s and 80s to people you saw out on St. Patrick's Day 2022.

-People in the 70s and 80s were "way healthier," is that so? No smoking (which kills the appetite), no drugs, longer life expectancy? Fascinating conclusion.

-You were shocked that people gained a ton of weight specifically in 2 years, then compared them to people 40-50 years ago. Yes, yes-- you're saying we were already fat, and now have gotten even fatter. But really, you're just throwing everything in to draw your conclusion about the lazy, disgusting, low-class and possibly immoral fatness of the American public. You started out by asking if and how people gained weight between 2020 and 2022, and your conclusion was that Americans were much healthier in 1977. Hm.

-By your own admission and by implication, you have not been out and about that much in 2 years. Your memory may be failing you and your smaller circle of friends/media influence may have distorted it.

-Yes, the average person did gain weight during COVID, because they became less active, were more likely to be stressed/depressed, etc. Many even lost loved ones!

-Some people also... had COVID. And those who got it before having been vaccinated, especially, are more likely to have had their activity level and diet impacted by a more serious case of it-- either for a short time (but impact habits longer term) or for a longer time. I had a friend who needed months to regain her lung capacity.
