CMV: America has gotten so fat that overweight people are viewed as average weight and average weight people are viewed as skinny

Ok went down a bit of a rabbit hole the CDC says that 73.6% of American adults are either overweight or obese. At first I was like this percentage doesn't make sense. Then I started to think that I'm probably just so used to looking at people that are a bit overweight my perception of what's skinny healthy overweight obese is probably warped. I'm also aware that bmi doesn't automatically mean healthy weight and doesn't account for muscle mass so that could skew the results a bit. But still 73.6% is a huge number and I really don't see musle mass being the lone cause for this.

Edit: for the title people who are overweight are viewed as being a healthy weight and people who are skinny are viewed as being underweight. Saying average could make this post have a completely different meaning.

Edit: for background my BMI is 22 I have several people say I'm too skinny and should gain weight went to the Dr there was 0 concern around my weight this is what led to my thought process that maybe I'm just so used to seeing overweight people that it doesn't even register as overweight in my mind anymore
