Why are Americans (of all races) so fat?

Don't tell me it's the carbs. Oriental people eat mostly rice and noodles and you rarely see any obese people in China or Japan. There are good carbs and bad carbs. Cakes, pies, cookies, etc. are bad carbs.

Same thing in Europe. Very few really fat people.

I have my own ideas but it might offend some people so I want to hear your thoughts first.

One thing I will say is this, if the Japanese continue to Americanize their diet, and kids play with computers all day instead of being active outside, they WILL have the same problem. View more random threads same category:
