Look at how many out of shape people there are. I've been going to the beach a lot over the past couple of months. That's a place where you can't hide anything. It's amazing how many out of shape and overweight people there are.

Completely agree, and well said. It is a little shameful in regards to the obesity rate of the US compared to other countries. Public health needs to be a larger concern. I'd be interested in how many COVID related deaths are those of obese adults.
