The 'Fat American' meme is a staple of internet culture that plays on global stereotypes regarding American lifestyle, dietary habits, and large food portions. Often featuring exaggerated imagery of oversized meals or individuals in patriotic gear, the meme serves as a vehicle for social commentary or self-deprecating humor about consumerism and health trends in the United States. While its origins are rooted in long-standing international tropes, it gained significant traction on platforms like Reddit and 9GAG where users compare local standards to American 'supersized' equivalents. Today, it is widely used to joke about the absurdity of mass consumption or the sheer scale of American infrastructure and food culture.
