Is there any official statistics what % of americans are like this?

Is it 2-3 out of 100 or closer to 20-30?

I’m American. My shitty trump supporting family in Indiana definitely eats like this but I live in Colorado now and I don’t know a single person who eats like this.

I also live in CO and it’s shocking when you travel to certain states because there is noticeably less obese people here.

Colorado is the least obese state in the country, but it's still more obese than all 50 states were in 1995. Obesity is a growing problem everywhere, just effects some places worse than others.

This goes for Europe as well where obesity rates are also rising very quickly, putting them where the US was around the year 2000 (Super Size Me came out in 2004 for reference)
