Why 4% Of Japan Is Obese Compared to America’s 42%….

I hate the locker room health and fitness threads because there's only a few of you that actually know what you're talking about but everybody got an opinion and think they know the answer

i rarely see fat people in uganda as well, because most people walk alot and eat fruits and veggies and not alot of frozen foods

Landing in Mtl vs landing in DC is night and day difference

The amount of fat people in America is ridiculous

It got worse last 8 years

It's the suger
Suger is proven to make fat

Yep, especially in fast food. The sugar is what makes people addicted to mcdonald fries or addicted to the bread that chik fil a uses.

Quality of food and fitness (walking more). Most US residential areas are not walkable. Toss in the quality of food which is shyt.

It’s diet, you don’t need to eat three damn times a day, most people eat big ass dinners and go to bed which means they don’t burn the calories off, all the sugar. It’s a lot of shyt that Americans do wrong when it comes to food.

He’s not lying about Hawaii

It’s crazy big out there

I can’t tell u the first week of each month and im in the grocery store and the food stamp folks have carts full of sweets, 3 cases of 12 pack coke/pepsi, microwave dinners and other shyt and the 8 year old kid is ready to block for Barkley

culture

Bingo.

More active and the food healthier. Lived there 2 years. I mean you eat a big ass bowl of soba and it’ll fill you up for a while and later you eating some vegetables and whatever meat and you full as fukk but gained no weight. The lifestyle in every way is healthier. I didn’t even see people running like that. But they don’t mind walking and riding bikes either.even the sweets and soda drinks they have are like no calories. They are a more advanced society

Genetics + strict immigration

America breeds obesity. If you have a child with a fat person your child is more likely to be fat.

US food is genetically modified trash, then pumped full of salt and oils for flavoring..

Bingo.

Hell you got McD's with labs, coming up with shyt specifically designed to be addictive in terms of taste.

Hell open a bag of Salsa Verde or Spicy Doritos. Easy to not eat it....but once you start, half the bag gon be gone. If you're high, make that 80%.

Americans probably spend more time intentionally working out than any other nationality. We go out of our way to jog, lift weights, hike etc., but we are still overweight.

HOWEVER......lettuce also consider that Japan is extremely racially homogenous. Asians have less dense bones than whites AND Blacks. While they're definitely healthier than us...they also can't carry weight the way we can. Short limbs, porous bones etc., make them smaller by default.

Biggest issue in America is processed foods and car culture. We only get exercise when we intentionally workout. Most other places, they get exercise just doing mundane shyt like grabbing groceries or walking to Grandma's house.

i knew this Japanese youngin she would get off work then get in the kitchen and cook for hours daily. they don't do too much processed but it's swine in everything.
