Have you ever heard of sumo wrestlers? What are they? Thin? Come on!
It is odd, though. You'd think with all the carbs they take in, they would be bigger on average. According to Kevin Trudeau's book "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know", the only reason anybody is fat is because of the chemicals put into our food by the huge corporations. The chemicals make us fat, and fat people eat more, therefore buy more food, making the corporations richer. He's got a point. America has the most companies, and the most fat people. And they're getting fatter, and the corps are getting richer. That's what I believe.

The type of diet they have from their country. Asians seem to eat healthy overall. The majority of Americans eat unhealthy foods full of fat. I also think that most Asians have an active daily lifestyle.

LOL at these answers! "in their country", like hello, Asians live in America too. I am not fat because I eat right. My husband who is also Chinese is 5'4 and 200 pounds. Far from thin, but he eats a lot of fast food.

You've never heard of Sumo Wrestlers!
What about Budda, he wasn't exactly a tooth pick!
Maybe it has to do with the ancient philsophy of the FEW (the rich and powerful) and the MANY (the pesants) or the HAVES and HAVE NOTS.

No they eat better - less processed or preservatives. Their diet is sooooooo unlike what you'll find at your local take out joint.
I'm reading Natural cure's now, and you're right. American's eat far too much processed prepared crap on a daily basis - and that one igredient is in almost everything we eat.

"metabolism".
Where do you get the idea Asian people don't get fat? Do a search on "china overweight kids". They've started eating western food.

I've seen overweight Asians, but you're right, on average they tend to be pretty skinny.

because ASIANS eat fresh foods and has an active lifestyle, they buy fresh foods from the market and cook it instead of buying or eating on fastfood chains.
