Fat. And apparently that often ill-used word describes a large percentage of American youth today. For example, Army Times article included this: "According to the latest Pentagon figures, a full 35 percent, or more than one-third, of the roughly 31.2 million Americans aged 17 to 24 are unqualified for military service because of physical and medical issues. And, said Curt Gilroy, the Pentagon’s director of accessions, “the major component of this is obesity. We have an obesity crisis in the country. There’s no question about it.”
I can attest to this at least where we live, because as I look around town I see an awful lot of people, especially young people, who look, well, fat. Sorry to have to use that word, but it is what it is.
