    Unless there is a corresponding study that says 18-25 year olds are more jacked than previous generations, your anecdote is probably not relevant.

      Garbage in, garbage out. If you do a complex mathematical equation, and one of the values is garbage, the output is also garbage.

      I don’t doubt that this generation is more overweight, but using flawed data and pointing at the lack of data proving the flawed data matters, doesn’t make it good data.

      What? Nothing in here is “in relation to other generations”.

      It’s simply stating they are “overweight or obese”.

        Other generations have a well documented obesity problem. I was trying to come up with some way that 18-25 was different.

        Overweight and obese are up in relation to other generations.

        That’s, like, a well known fact my guy.
