that's not why we get fat

we get fat because of the american diet, priori to which people in the world were actually not that fat

the lack of fermented food, the epidemics of ultra-processed, ultra-rich and grotesquely fat and sugary food is why people have gotten fat, which is a relatively recent phenomenon (and which is not as widespread in culture that resist the American diet the most like the French and the Japanese)
