The UK does not have any extreme outliers and we don't have data that granular for the UK. Scotland is over 8% of the UK population vs West Virginia being less than 0.5% of the US. Also Scotland is not an "extreme" outlier, it's just a little lower.
The place cited was not a country within the UK, but a city or a region within a city. So basically, the worst place in the UK in terms of life expectancy. I'd say that is even more granular than the US. The US only has 50 states, how many cities and towns does the UK have?
I'm not angry and you cannot discern my emotional state through an internet comment section. Accusing someone of being angry is typical Redditry. Shame on you.
Will you stop taking offense at every little thing?
Inb4: YOU ARE ASSUMING I TOOK OFFENSE! Give it a rest!
Also this BS "oh wow, that escalated quickly my guy! I'm calm as a cucumber but you are clearly in poor control of your emotional faculties!" little game you're playing.
Not playing any games.
Me being polite on the internet requires me to expend additional energy. I'm willing to spend that energy on people arguing in good faith. I shut it off when they are not.
You have no idea if they are or not. I'm interested in this topic, but you seem to think that it's me trying to bash the US. Like I told you, if I want to bash the US (which is very easy), I'll do it openly.
I just did a 1 minute google search and it is not data that is easy to find. No web site wants to tell me the BMI data in the US broken down by ethnic group, so I can't even begin to make any comparisons.
More than 2 in 5 non-Hispanic white adults (42.2%) have obesity.
I've had this debate before on Reddit, I've done the deep dive and posted proof. I can't find shit from my old banned accounts and I can't re-google it. Maybe I could if I spent an hour on it, but I don't want to.
