I'm sorry I'm a bit insensitive, this isn't my experience at all.

Me and all my friends are in better shape (most of them left big city to go to a more rural area), all of them now cook (i might have influenced this). my brother and sister are too, two of my cousins went from 35+ BMI to 30 BMI, the rest are still in shape. It might be because of the environment, or the country. It is easier for me to be outside, we have outdoor gyms 8n most cities, sometime with gym trails. My point is the experience is very anecdotal, and can be great for some and a disaster for others.

I've heard that autistics people in the US suffer from wearing masks. My psychologist (specialized in functional autism) told me that most of her patients feel the same way I do, or better, even those deeper on the spectrum.

Again, I'm not saying you're wrong, but you are generalizing too much, and maybe too US-centric.
