No, it is a result of our prosperity and a lack of back breaking work. BTW, the big guy (not MM) is from Mexico.

I believe that is due to quantity.

Phew! Russian men are built like s**t brickhouses. And those cheap, tight suits don’t hide that fact.

I hope you are not claiming a causal relationship between the two. If you are, you should provide some evidence.

Our obesity problem has much more to do with us having a higher standard of living (more and higher calorie food available, even for the poor) and much less physically strenuous lifestyles than in past generations. More calories and less exercise inevitably leads to obesity.

Another major factor has been the obsession with reducing dietary fats. Because reducing the fat content of food also reduces the flavor, food suppliers make up the difference with sugars. But while consuming dietary fats help trigger a sense of satiety and fullness, consuming sugars trigger cravings for more sugar.

Mexico currently exceeds the United States in the percentage of population considered obese. However, obesity levels have been increasing in most industrial countries over the last few decades, even in places like France. However, the obesity problem does not stem from GMOs but rather from the switch to the high carbohydrate, low fat diets popularized over the last 40 years. The worst carbohydrates came from processed foods, including white bread, pasta, and dessert products. These are the ones that are the cheapest to make and to sell. Vegetables and fruit are inexpensive but most vegetables require preparation, something people, especially single people and those families with both spouses employed, find difficult. The link of fat to heart disease, popularized in the Framingham study from the 1960s, proved to be inaccurate. However, the low fat mentality is still out there.
