What's the obesity rate of Springfield?
>>150756319By zombie simpsons In-universe logic? Because Homer is slyghtly obese compared to the rest of the cast and yet he has constant jokes about weighting tons
>>150756319At about 90% at the minimum. Majority of the character we see were either fat or obese. The kids and babies included.
>>150756523Honestly, I wouldn't doubt if they had a joke about Homer's fat cells being denser than anyone else's. So even though he's thinner than the fattest residents he's technically fatter.
>>150756319abundant
it never occured to me that apu was fat, i always thought he had puffy pants
>>150756701I'm 90% certain if you're male in the Simpsons you're at least overweight.
>>150756715from the top of my head the skinny/fit characters i can think of are flanders, moe, lenny, carl, skinner, chalmers, willie, smithers, mr burns, sideshow mel, lionel hutz, louie, legs, troy mcclure, rainier wolfcastle, professor frink, cletus, otto, reverend lovejoy, the lawyer, dr nick, the very tall man and duffmanand even then most of them still have bellies that they've been sucking in
>>150756319america>>150756523Homer's BMI is 32 and easily into clinical obesity, most of the people in the OP are morbidly obesewhen the Simpsons started about 1 in 4 americans were obese and about 1 in 40 were morbidly obesenow it's more like 2 in 5 are obese and 1 in 10 are morbidly obese
>>150757246It's even crazier than 1.5 billion people will be obese by 2030
>>150756319Not high enough. Still no episode with fat marge.
>>150757280There's one and technically two. First one is a future episode that shows her fat, she looks terrible. Second is when she turns into a Homer clone, even worse.
>>150757898>First one is a future episode that shows her fat, she looks terrible.That was a fantasy sequence, not a full flash-forward episode.
>>150757246Theres no way in hell that Chief Wiggum is morbidly obese, however.Despite all the "lol cop bad" jokes they like doing with him, he wouldnt even be able to do shit in the very rare 1% times where he actually does something competent.The comic book store guy is def morbidly obese, Fat Tony isnt called Obese Tony for multiple reasons and he never seemed to be morbidly obese.Apu, the pirate guy, the Bee guy, and etc. arent fat enough to be considered morbidly obese, and if anything, apu is slightly thinner than homer.Krusty is as fat as homer.The school lunch lady background character was like pretty chubby leaning towards fat iirc but def not morbidly obese.Point is, there are far more chubby/fat simpsons characters than morbidly obese characters but because homer is the baseline for fat jokes they just pretend that 90% of the citizens in springfield are comically obese when there are far more skinny/"thinner than homer" characters than obese characters in the simpsons
>>150756319That episode said Springfield is the fattest town of the world, so I guess the rate is pretty big
>>150758256Homer is obese because he's 6'1" and 240 pounds, therefore the rest of them are at least obese, and where they're significantly wider, morbidly obeseWiggum is even shorter than Homer, his BMI is over 9000
>>150756571>>150757280With the newer generations being raised on Krusty Burger, those numbers are bound to only go up.
>>150758371We saw the effect it had on Nelson in one episode.
>>150757280>>150758229SIMPSONS *DIDN'T* DID IT
>>150758229>>150758229People need to realize that weight settles differently on different frames. Some people just won't look right.
>>150759003It wasn’t meant to look right in the first place.
>>150756319Obviously not high enough so long as they deny Mindy her deserved weight.
>>150757280Al Jean hates fat women, mystery solved
>>150756319They are fat, huh.
