poll - which one is "fat"?

Which number identifies the figure which is the border between normal and fat to you?

This was not an enormous study - 69 African American women were recruited from a low income neighbourhood of Chicago, with a mean age of 38, all of whom had at least one child. African American women were chosen because they have the highest obesity rates of any demographic group in the USA. The mean BMI of this group was 32, which is classified as obese

But the researchers found that the only sizes they thought were "too fat" were the last two drawings - numbers 8 and 9. So the women were not concerned about being overweight

Skewed views.

#1 for sure. Still can't see the internal organs.

 

[SKORPI0]

5 would be fat, 9 is morbidly obese..

 

[zokudu]

I would start calling 7+ unattractively large, but 5 & 6 aren't skinny by any sense of the imagination.

 

[Jeff7]

A bit after 5.


So where's the men's scale? Is that one on a scale of Alky to 9?

 

[amdhunter]

They asked 69 Black women, who had kids, from the ghetto...which was fat?

The poll takers must have been as retarded as the women who thought 8 and 9 were the only fat ones.

I'm gonna go with 6. 5 is Technically getting there since she has a bit of a belly, but 5's not unhealthily heavy. Still I wouldn't be repulsed by a 6, though it could go either way once we get on toward a 7.

Unless the point was to quantify opinions that were previously only known qualitatively. That's how science works.

[Ronstang]

They all have kids....so somebody is fucking them....so they don't care

 

[MustISO]

Number 5 and above is what I would consider fat all the way to obese

 

[ThatsABigOne]

After 4 is considered fat. 1 and 2 are anorexic.

I don't like the word "normal" in that context. In present day America "normal" is fat.

1 and 2 are too skinny, borderline anorexic.

3 and 4 are what I would consider as attractive and probably healthy body shapes.

5 is just a little overweight

6 is overweight

7 is very overweight

8 is fat

9 is obese.

1: Auschwitz
2: Auschwitz with a little meat on the bones
3: thin
4: normal
5: heavier side of normal
6: chubby/acceptable form of fat
7: fatty
8: landwhale
9: Jabba

OK, this is a bit confusing... A indian news website, links a guardian.co.uk article about a study done in Chicago?

 

[phucheneh]

Stupid drawings are stupid. #3 has the bottom of the ribs showing, but #4 has a belly.

Regardless, anyone who doesn't think #6 and higher illustrate fatties is clearly delusional.

 

[xaeniac]

Voted 6

They have a good point, but BMI is a flawed measurement to begun with.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I'm going with 6. I think it's mostly because the paunch start getting noticeable on that one.

 

[dighn]

5 is getting curvy. 6 is fat.

 

[jlee]

Yeah, that's where I ended up too.

 

[Humpy]

5 is fat for sure. Essentially a whale.

3 has nice thigh gap but tits are too small.

I'll go with number 4 cause she looks like she knows how to suck a dick.

 

[Captante]

Voted 4 by mistake ... thinking I should have gone with 5.

 

[Tiamat]

6 is fat, 5 is borderline.
