What is the historical origin of Americans being so fat? Countries like Japan or France don't have similar rates of obesity, even if you only count white Americans. Are Americans just hedonistic dumbasses?
1. Corn
2. Latino immigration

Yes
But actually i think a lot of is has to do with the health department encouraging carbs and discouraging natural fats, when actually high carbs and low fat meals are extremely fattening.
Shit food and genetic predisposition to build up fat, expecially in the minorities (black, pacific natives) because their generation got selected in a scarcity environment.

There's no such thing. It's entirely diet and lifestyle. They sit around all day doing fucking nothing but eating massive amounts of sugar which almost instantly converted to fat.
High Fructose Corn Syrup and Videogames.

That's what unrivaled prosperity does.
I bet there were a ton of Romanfats during the Pax Romana too.

You're literal retard. Injuns for example can't process sugar properly because they evolved without being accustomed to it, introduce them to a normal white person diet and they will bloat up like balloons.

There is no such thing as a genetic predisposition to being fat other than the genetic predisposition of shitty willpower and self control

Nope. They eat too much of it because it's like a drug to them, but it doesn't make them fat, they just have too much.
Getting fat is literally only possible if you eat more calories than you burn, it's basic physics.
You cannot get fat any other way than eating too much, now stop believing the bullshit your sister told you about diet pills and tummy fat.
>sugar is 4 calories per gram
>fat is 9 calories per gram
Something tells me it's the sugar, goyim :^)
Obviously, it's also the sugar that's causing all the heart disease, cancer, steady increase of auto-immune diseases, strokes AND SPECIALLY diabetes.
Aaand it's not like over consumption of isolated fat, protein and animal foods has got nothing to do with that.
