re: Why are Hispanic kids in the US all fat?

Because they are American.

That’s everything you need to know about our shitty food. You can’t help but get fat here and you can’t get fat if you try in Europe. We are poisoning ourselves.

Not everyone likes to hear it but it's 100% true.

It's not just high fructose corn syrup but preservatives and additives etc etc . . .

I lived in Italy for 8 years. When I arrived, it was shocking coming from the US that almost no one under 60 or so was overweight.

However, when I was there, they relaxed--under Berlusconi-- a lot of restrictions for processed foods and large discount supermarkets popped up in every working class neighborhood. Full of stuff that had never been common (or cheap) there from frozen fried chicken cutlets to preservative filled sandwich meats, cheeses, mayos, jellies, breads etc. . .


It was honestly within a year that you started to notice a lot of overweight kids that had never existed there.

I just got back from Galveston and Houston today from a wedding weekend, My wife and I were discussing the same thing. Impressive and not in a good way.

I see a lot of chubby Indians but they’re not usually obese.
