My grandmother almost fainted seeing my niece go out for a run.

And turning that around, you know how frequently I think about women who reside in other countries? Maybe .00001% of the time, and that’s solely when I’m about to travel to said country and wanting to dress appropriately. Otherwise could not care less.

My immediate family lives in Western Europe, and my cousins live in East Asia. Everyone has a normal figure (AKA "slender" to American eyes) .
So when they see Americans on the news, or if a few of them visit the US, what shocks them to their core is how overweight kids and adults are here. Spillage is out in the open.
In most developed countries, it's perfectly fine to walk about in athleisure, or for older teens and young adults to wear short shorts and crop tops. But over there, precious few people will have tissue hanging out and wobbling. Here it does, and it makes the difference between unexceptional clothes and utter vulgarity.
I've lived in the US for 20 years, but I have to say I agree with that assessment.
