Not controversial at all. Caricatures and generalizations in art as a method to show different nationalities, cultures, etc. is as old as art itself. Calling such things controversial is to call art itself controversial.

Take that picture you posted of the "stereotypical american" and have it dropping bombs on Syria while shouting "America, Fuck Yeah!" and there'd be a general understanding of what you're attempting to express. Does it ignore that the majority of Americans are not obese, and some 30% are not even overweight? Sure! Does it ignore that there are plenty of Americans who don't eat burgers (or meat at all), or drink? Does it ignore that 37.2% of Americans are not white? Sure! But does that mean that your picture is "victimizing" Americans? No! It's just you using art as a means to express your view on America.

Art is art. Do I care about Dr Seuss books? Fuck no. Do I see statistically accurate generalizations of chinamen eating with sticks as controversial? No. If people would just stop being pussies, this topic wouldn't have come up in the first place.


The majority of adult americans are overweight.

More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese. In the United States, 36.5 percent of adults are obese. Another 32.5 percent of American adults are overweight.
69% :huh:

Who said the majority are not overweight? Seems I directly said "the majority of Americans are not obese, and some 30% are not even overweight".

Learn to read before making stupid responses that don't even address any points. FFS.

30% of your country being healthy is not really a thing most people would brag about.

According to the way "overweight" and "obese" are measured (BMI), nearly every bodybuilder and professional athlete is not only overweight, but obese. You don't have the first idea what "healthy" is, let alone how to read weight class numbers.

BTW, I'll just leave this here for you to think about, floof:

In 2017-18, two thirds (67.0%) of Australian adults were overweight or obese (12.5 million people), an increase from 63.4% in 2014-15.

Being a bodybuilder or athlete does not mean you are 'healthy' when you still have a obese BMI. It may be prefect form to be optimal in a sport, but its in no way 'healthy' for your cardiovascular system to carry all the extra fat/muscle.

The entire point is that BMI is a useless way to measure health. An athlete with a perfect diet and workout regimen who is six foot tall and weighs 265 pounds, and has a body fat percentage of 4% is not only healthy, but far more healthy than those who fall within the "perfect" weight zones for that height. Yet their BMI would show as 35.9 (Obese).

Health has far more to do with diet, exercise, and lack of recreational drug use (including tobacco and alcohol) than with arbitrary height vs weight numbers. This is not even a question, it's known and has been known by health experts worldwide for as long as the BMI scale has existed. The only reason BMI is still referred to is it's the only "easy" way to statistically calculate how nations are doing as far as general health goes.
