yes, we do. it's not rocket science. sedentary lifestyle + huge amounts of cheap calories, esp. cheap carbohydrates. the Japanese are much skinnier than the US because the eat ~1000 calories less than the US. much of Asia and the ME are skinnier due to poverty and climate -- easy to be thin when you live in a sauna. and they're rapidly catching up to the US; America just got there first, and hard.
