I understand it would be based on BMI, but the threshold for obesity varies per country. I remember the health ministry in my country increased the threshold for obesity from 24 to 25 in an attempt to decrease the obesity numbers.
Eventually, BMI only works for “regular” people and not for “sportive” people or “athletes” as muscle is heavier than fat. (A body builder may have a BMI of 26 with little to no fat)

Sure, but what constitutes obesity in the U.S.A.?

- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 2 months ago:
Exactly. You don’t join it for workplace perks, you join it for protection against unfair practices.
You have your fire insurance, your car insurance,life insurance. To me, a union is a work insurance. Always have been unionised and I always will be.

Also, at the end of the chain there is a male terminal exposed with live current. Could cause a fire I guess.

I believe zero motocycles offers some options, but they require you to use a cellphone as dashboard if I recall correctly
- Comment on Anon rides a bike 4 months ago:
I’d go full on a motocycle if I found a good electrical one, got the loan for it, get a drivers license for it.
- Comment on Anon rides a bike 4 months ago:
I’m in the market for an electric motocycle that can travel highway speeds and gave a span of at least 200 km for commuting.
Needs to be privacy friendly though. So no apps or accounts. Just a key and a simple dashboard.
- Comment on Anon rides a bike 4 months ago:
While I like to cycle, I also like to go places. Where I live, some places are just too far to get to by bike (I don’t have a shower at work and 70km one way is a decent ride).
To me a car provides a considerable amount of freedom. A bike provides me a different kind of freedom.

- Comment on How are seedless fruits grown, if they have no seeds to carry their seedlessness attribute? 4 months ago:
I did nothing of the kind. You’re trying to provoke me by saying so.
I provided monsanto as an example next to other producers in the industry.
- Comment on How are seedless fruits grown, if they have no seeds to carry their seedlessness attribute? 4 months ago:
I never claimed or wanted imply to be an expert. I worked with brilliant minds who were. My account here is a recollection of what was explained to me by them. Not an opinion. I honestly don’t even have an idea if it’s biased since thiis was my only source of information.
- Comment on How are seedless fruits grown, if they have no seeds to carry their seedlessness attribute? 5 months ago:
Your information is way off. Bayer bought the glysophate business from Monsanto. BASF bought the cropscience business from Bayer. The seeds are in production.
I mentioned genetic engineering on top of crossbreeding. Yes there are many ways to achieve a goal. But a business is going to opt for the one with the fastest results.
- Comment on How are seedless fruits grown, if they have no seeds to carry their seedlessness attribute? 5 months ago:
the plants are cross bred for generations. Each time the seeds of the plants with the best desired properties are kept.
the seeds can also be treated (see "feminizing marijuana seeds) with chemicals to produce certain traits.
the producers of these seeds (like monsanto, bayer, basf, …) have large R&D groups where the dna of the seeds can be further tracked and modified if required.
these producers have large green houses just for breeding the plants and collecting the desired seeds.
these seeds are patented. The plants produce fruits to specifications. To protect the intellectual property, patents and business, they are made not to produce further offspring, so the farmer needs to buy the seeds year after year.
another trait that’s being developped in the plants, for example, is making the plant immune to glyphosate, allowing the farmer to wastefully spray the herbicide on the field. It will kill all plants except for the desired crops.
source: used to work in for one of the above mentioned companies in the cropscience division.
