As I go in stores in Texas, the majority of the women are "fat" and I mean fat, as in obese; I wonder how long their hearts can support all that fat. I see it as life threatening. I also wonder what they are eating and how much of it they are eating. My guess is it is starches, white potatoes/white pasta, white flour tortillas, etc., which turn into sugar quickly, plus eating fatty meats as they are cheaper than lean meats. As food gets more expensive, women get fatter eating cheaper foods as those above.
In general, men are more active than women, so they burn more of the calories of the same food. Here, I see slimmer men with fat women most of the time.
