    Wouldn’t most need to be over 50%?

      “obese” doesn’t include the ones who are only overweight. If you add those up, it’s over 70%

        What’s crazy to me is that most people think I’m “skinny,” but until a few months ago, I was actually a few pounds overweight, and I could still stand to lose a few pounds because I’m right at the border between normal and overweight for most BMI calculators at 24.5-ish (haven’t done an actual medical BMI/body fat calculation though). I’m tall w/ a 34" waist, which is near the lower end of the pants sizes when I go to the store.

        So when you go out looking at people, just understand that the “normal” ones may also be overweight.
