In places like America it’s the ethnic minorities that are in fact fatter than the Anglos. In the UK, higher diabetes is found in ethnic minorities
The UK is ~80 % white, and the native population is v fat by global standards. I suspect socioeconomics and educational attainment are better predictors of obesity in the west than race.
@Kisame As you pointed out, it's middle class and richer women who tend to be in good shape. I imagine this is true across most groups in the west, not just anglos.
Anglos, on average, are richer than ethnic minorities.
When we look at obese Anglos, they tend be the ones that live off quick, cheap and processed foods that require little thought, labor or time. Fat Anglos aren’t fat because they’re cooking unhealthy foods for hours, they’re fat because they’re eating cheap quick foods and takeaways.
Processed foods are to blame for obesity across the world, not just in rich countries, and not just for Anglos.
The rich Anglos eat in the same manner that requires little thought as well but they’ll eat a quick salad for lunch instead of oven chicken nuggets or McDonalds takeaway and they’ll make sure they eat organic produce.
Agreed. Keyword being rich. The rich and educated eat better, and have lower obesity rates in the west. This is especially true for women
As someone has noted, Anglos are productive people that do not nap and therefore do not sustain themselves eating heavy foods that will put you in a food coma.
I'm not gonna comment on productivity, because that's a separate, complicated discussion, and I think your reasoning is too simplistic here.
Another point I want to add is that Anglo women are also economically productive. You want women who also work outside of the home to languish for hours producing high carb meals when she too needs to clock in at 8? Make that make sense.
¿Que? Where did I say that?
