« on: October 02, 2012, 10:58:50 PM »That only proves you wrong. The only yellow-marked countries I can see are small African nations and China. African nations are self explanatory, but China has over a billion people. It is incredibly difficult for a country like China to be able to consume the same proportional amount of resources per person that the United States consumes (hint we have about 311 million people versus china's 1.3 billion). People stuff their faces all the time in the US while most people in China live on amounts that we would call "barely enough".Not that it matters, but Japan is yellow range and the UK is lower than us by 10-20% depending on the area.
The main point I had with the comparisons of nations was that the United States was performing worse for reasons other than ethnicity, or development. The graph supports that. Even a difference of 10% is significant.

I'm not saying that genetics don't have any role either. With our modern medicine advancements, people with genetic problems have a much higher chance to live and reproduce. Being more prone to obesity is probably a big issue for a lot of people in the United States, but a balanced diet isn't some sort of impossible thing to achieve.

riiiiight america is the only one with a bajillion percent of fat people
Clearly the obesity problem in America is due to something other than development and ethnicity.

that's why everyone is skinny because it's so easy guys right am i right i'm right yep right rightThere are skinny in plenty of other advanced countries. Clearly the US is doing something wrong.

The only conditions where this is not healthy is when the difference is super big.You don't have to starve yourself. If you work as much as an "average adult" you only need 2000 calories a day to be perfectly fine. If you consume 1900 a day, then you will lose 100 calories in fat a day, only a few grams. You won't even be lacking any food, because your body already has it stored.

Losing weight is easy. It doesn't require exercise, just eat less.
People gain weight when they have a greater input of calories than output. Regardless of any genetic conditions, having less input than output will cause you to lose weight. The only conditions where this is not healthy is when the difference is super big.

They should use air as camouflage because air is invisible.
