In 2023, among 158 million civilian employees on nonfarm payrolls, 30% had obesity and 34% had overweight, resulting in a combined economic burden of $425.5 billion (obesity: $347.5 billion; overweight: $78 billion). This includes excess medical costs of obesity ($115 billion), presenteeism (obesity: $113.8 billion; overweight: $46.5 billion), absenteeism from obesity ($82.3 billion), excess medical costs of overweight ($31.5 billion), obesity-related disability payments ($31.1 billion), and workers’ compensation payments ($5.2 billion).

In Australia, the total economic cost of overweight and obesity has been estimated at USD$ 27 billion (AUD$39 billion), or 1.9% of GDP in 2019. This is projected to rise to over USD$43 billion (AUD$62 billion) by 2030, and over USD$158 billion (AUD$228 billion), or 3.5% of Australian GDP by 2060.

Its not about weight.
Its about exercise and good food.

Ones upon a time i only weight 66.6kilogram
And eat fries, candy and chocolate every day, prime-diet
Bicycling uphill for 10min, made me feel i was dying
