I'm not really disagreeing with you that more Americans are fat than japs. There are also more Americans than japs in totality. I'm just pointing out that there is more to it than just diet. I mean you could argue that Japan must be a miserable place because their suicide rate is higher than ours. It's not quite as simple as we want it to be. I do think Americans could do a better job of promoting a healthier lifestyle, but I'd rather let people decide for themselves what they want.
