Fatbodies In The Usa, Argentina And Japan

[Joe]

This is a cross cultural comparison of overweight and obesity in Argentina, Japan and the USA.

Observations

1. Americans get fat and obese at a young age and stay that way.
   
2. Argentines start getting fat around the age of 25-30 and max out at 40.
   
3. Young Japanese are fatter than older Japanese.

Conclusions

1. The American diet is centered on fast food which emphasizes fatty and sugary foods.
   
2. The Argentine diet is centered on bread. A high carb diet is easily burned off by a growing body but not by a mature body.
   
3. Young Japanese indulge in American style fast food often. Older Japanese not so much.

Dis clamor: Although I have a degree in Anthropology there is absolutely no scientific basis to these conclusions.
