Also another problem like in the movie Wall-E is that fat people (those who are are fat-ISH) often don't anymore perceive themselve as fat, also many fat people seem to think they are healthy.

While in a given moment most obese people are not sick, obesity is far from being "optimal health", the young tend more often to think themselves protected, obesity after 40 is much more dangerous (and often at 40 people might be sick for other reasons).

It would be too long to list every effect of technology and lifestyle on modern health but here are some common other problems, often health issues do stack, come together, have back and forth consequences, sometimes the relation is one wayed;

In short our environnements don't help staying healthy, but well blaming them exceedingly is also a thing, there are cases of writers (writers tend to be realitevely knowledgeable) who didn't do any sport in 20 years, then blaming modern medecine in a whole book for their health problems. That is then a case of NeverMyFault. Related tropes are: NutritionalNightmare .

Interestingly some characters of older series that could be perceived as "almost obese" (Today are no more. Such as Homer from TheSimpsons who eats irrealistical quantities of food is far out from outstandingly fat.

This trope is sadly really a RealLife thing, and it was very well predicted, even if you look at the 5 last years in the past the difference could be seen by naked eye. United States had the fattest people for long, and it was rather common to deride, or insult Americans by refering to them as fat until mid 2010s, but it's no more true, some countries like Saudi Arabia, or Jordan have now fatter people than United States, many countries where obesity was very rare have it to have become common. And that one one would call: DidntSeeThatComing

* {{Film/SupersizeMe}} An american journalist decides to eat only from McDonalds for 1 month for an investigation, and uses Taxi as much as possible. In 21 days he ends up putting on 21 kg (42,5 pounds). He takes then 14 months to revert back to his previous weight.

A mirror tropes is NeverGetsFat , that can be played for the laught, it is useful in sitcom-like cartoons for example when food habits are used to define the character but not meant to be a part of the scenario. Homer never gains weight in the series in all but one episode

Also another problem like in the movie Wall-E is that fat people (those who are are fat-ISH) often don't anymore perceive themselve as fat, also many fat people seem to think they are healthy. Unsurprisngly in the movie Wall.E everyone is sluggish and fat, and nobody seems to care.

The movie WALL•E does a great work of forecasting a world with ubiquitous technology and sick and sluggish people everywhere

It would be too long to list every effect of technology and lifestyle on modern health but here are some common other problems, often health issues do stack, come together, and are synergic (in a bad way).

-Sight problems (overall overuse of screens, lack of exposure to daylight, eye strain from lack of pauses off of screen)
-Sleep problems (use of screens overnight or before sleep, lack of exposure to daylight)
-Weight (unlikely to cause sight problems, but can be caused like sight problems by excessive time spent indoors).
-Musclo-sketletal problems as De Quervain syndrome, more laconically: "Smartphone thumbs"

Basically each generation is fatter one after the other, not everyone is overweight in UK...only most of the population (by a slight fringe), overweight people are then equally split between obese and overweight

While a common tropes, it starts to fall out of use overweight people were OnceAcceptableTargets , but it would also alienate too many people.

While a common tropes, it falls out of use as it became much less acceptable to mock fat people, it'd also alienate too many people.

In short our environnements don't help staying healthy, but well blaming them exceedingly is also a thing, there are cases of writers (writers tend to be realitevely knowledgeable) who didn't do any sport in 20 years, then blaming modern medecine in a whole book for their health problems. That's a case of NeverMyFaukt. Related tropes are: NutritionalNightmare .

Today it's much less acceptable to mock fat people, it'd also alienate too many people. Brands understood it well, the average clothing sizes went up, what had to be found on internet in 2000s or 2010s or in specialised shops when internet was still not ubiquitous, is now easy to find in any shop.

Clothing brands also have adapted [[https://www.forbes.com/sites/didemtali/2016/09/30/the-average-woman-size/]], a study coming a few years before 2016 would give that the average woman was size 16 (roughly size 54 in europe), then in 2016 it is 18.

Older people tend to be fatter, but those older people had less

Anyway this trend is one that actually was constated over the last 70 years or maybe more...Obesity was 3 % in 70s in US, 8 % in 80s etc...it could also be noticed by looking also at the average weight.

Some countries however have better resisted the trend (Italy, Japan, Korea). But in those 3 countries the problem is also really noticeable, by naked eye.

Australia has started to try to tackle the problem with an anti-obesity plan. In spite of this often action taken against the problem is less than enough, and at best mitigates, or slows down this "epidemic".

-Weight


Also sleep problems, do increase weight, hunger, make physical effort harder. Also hunger increases weight, and weight makes breathing harder, and thus sleep less good, less sleep means more weight so less sleep, so more likeness of diabetes.

Of all of those lack of sleep is basically the worst: it increases EVERY disease. [[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27669980/

Also it is to be noted that sleep deprivation is the norm in developped and mildly developped countries, while very rare in under-developped countries it's the exception.]]

[[Supersize me]] was made around 2010, but now as of 2020 all countries in Europe and those bordering it (Turkey, Morroco, Egypt) were in 2020 (Around 20 % of obesity) fatter than were US in 2010 (US was at 20 %).

If you look generation by generation, while older people tend to be fatter (which was also the case in 1900s, but it was because of retirement).
