The Nihilistic worldview is the deciding factor. They believe in nothing, other than their own self advancement.

That said, there is a seeming correlation between overweight people in the US being Nihlistic as such. But hardly all, seeing as over half of the population is overweight now. Half of white people, equal for men and woman, higher for all minorities, but especially for their woman, with the exception of east asians, which are generally fit.

It takes an immigrant 7 years on average to become as overweight as the average American.

Information on weight demographics from the NHIS, the last paragraph from Harper's Magazine.

The Gulf States are some of the only societies with more overweight people than the US.
