If it isn't the big portion sizes that Americans eat that is the problem, then why do Asian Americans have much lower rates of obesity despite living in the same country? (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Going through thousands of years of malnutrition doesn't make you less likely to being obese, in fact its more likely to make you more prone to being obese easily because the body would be trained to retain fat in order to keep going longer for when there's no food around.

Yes it does. They evolved to be smaller, more compact, smaller breasts, weaker bones, everything.

That's why they are little. That's why your average Korean man is the size of a child. Because their entire race subsisted on about 900 calories a day for three millennia.

The Guardian made an entire article saying that the reason Indians have a diabetes problem is because of the 31 famines that happened under British rule which turned them "starvation-adapted" by developing a tendency to generate and store fat instead of burning it off.

While the Guardian was just blaming White people as usual, the idea that going through famine would make people more prone to obesity because the body would want to store fat more, makes more sense than the idea that going through famine would make people less prone to obesity.

The Guardian

Is not a credible organization in any regard.

Indians

Have a genetic lack of self control.

Nor is one generation comparable to three thousand years.
