There are more SSBBWs here because there are more people, 15m in metro NYC which is more than most entire states. Percentage-wise there are way fewer than most — we're 88 out of the 100 largest cities.

No idea wtf you're talking about with unions and vegans. We have the same issues as every other city in the country, though not nearly as bad as some. Here the obesity issue is limited to certain communities, mostly PR/Dominican and black people. T2 diabetes costs the city $2b+ per year in healthcare so it qualifies as a crisis. There's a lot of fast food here like everywhere but we have fewer outright food deserts than most. The city has made a serious effort to get people closer to fresh fruit and veggies and subsidized it with vouchers (even beyond EIC/SNAP) but generational habits are hard to change.
