> That not a lot of Africans are obese
I don't think that's accurate. Eye-balling this[0], northern African and South African women are more obese than most European and US countries, and although men seem less obese, when you look at it overall, over 50-60% of adult South Africans and northern Africans are overweight or obese, compated to 75% of Americans. Obviously cherry-picking a bit here and ignoring western and most of sub-Saharan Africa, but I don't think "not a lot of Africans are obese" stands up as an assumption.
