I don't think you've eliminated the likely hypothesis that overly processed food and GLP-1 use are significantly more prevalent in America. I don't think anyone

I don't think you've eliminated the likely hypothesis that overly processed food and GLP-1 use are significantly more prevalent in America. I don't think anyone would argue that these things don't exist at all in other countries, but we can still talk about degrees.
- rootusrootus 9mo ago> we can still talk about degrees And yet Europeans in this discussion are going out of their way to play the America Fat game without acknowledging how much fatter Europeans are than Asians.
- Y_Y 9mo agoAh but you see that's unfair, because Europe has much better beers than Asia.
- rootusrootus 9mo agoThat is certainly true. But now I feel like we need to talk about beer in America. Because as much as I love a real German beer, the variety and quality of beers we have to choose from in America is pretty astonishing. At least it seems that way in my bubble (and it certainly helps that I live in an area of the PNW that has a high per-capita number of breweries).
- ethbr1 9mo ago> the variety and quality of beers we have to choose from in America is pretty astonishing That feels like a 2000+ change though.
- lII1lIlI11ll 9mo agoYes, I still enjoy weissbier sometimes but currently mass-produced German beers can't hold a candle to all the incredible US craft breweries that popped up during the last two decades (Monkish, Other Half, Evil Twin, etc.)
- danielscrubs 9mo agoI think most europeans wouldnt mind agreeing to that most Asian countries are eating healthier, and their bmis will reflect that.
- carlmr 9mo agoNobody did, please don't derail the conversation. I did even acknowledge that Germans aren't that slim.
