Maybe so, but Americans are also some of the tallest people (especially compared to those who eat much less). I'm not saying this is necessarily for the better

Maybe so, but Americans are also some of the tallest people (especially compared to those who eat much less). I'm not saying this is necessarily for the better or for the worse, but it's not easy to just say "you should eat this". Recommendations for diet change - remember when it was "don't eat fat", then "don't eat sugar", then "don't eat either"? Who knows.
After all the diet recommendations and panics about obesity, I still think most of us know what healthy eating is.
- ianai 7y agoI heard somewhere that anybody 6’ tall or above has back problems. Anecdotally, this seems plausible enough to me. Meanwhile there’s been a decades long marketing campaign to sell people on eating all the animal fat and protein they want with the dubious promise of weight loss and that always being healthy. Also decades long increases in cardiovascular diseases and death.
- oh_sigh 7y agoI'm over 6' tall, upper 30s age, and have never had a back problem. I also squat and deadlift frequently, which a lot of people don't do.
