Europeans have more abdominal fat than Africans and Amerindians

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

Peoples living in colder areas need to stock more fat than those living in hotter places since they are burning energy to keep theirselves warm during winter. That just makes sense.

BTW I don't know why Native Americans from Mexico tend to get diabet and obesity easier than the other Native American peoples

The concept that being lean means being beautiful and healthy is fairly new in most human societies. Being fat used to be celebrated in the past. Now it is sitgmatized.

Natural selection. The geographical landscape and weather conditions are completely different, people who were capable of storing more fat had more chances to survive. Before the Industrial Revolution most Europeans were already steady farmers for centuries meanwhile there are still Africans up to this day that lead a semi-farming\nomadic hunter-gathered lifestyle.

Talking obviously about Africans from the African continent because Africans living in Europe and in the Americas are a different story. I have noticed that some are prone to be muscular but a staggering amount of them apparently store a lot of fat as well (women in particular). Morbidly obese people that I tend to see around here are almost always African descents.

White diets corrupt our natural physical tendency to be lean.

Yes, because fat was associated with people eating enough and able to afford a lot of food such as meat. It was associated with nobility and sedentarity, meaning that they had a comfortable social position and no need to burn calories outside to work in fields. Hard work was associated with poor society, the ones who had intense physical activity.

Now that's the opposite, sedentarity means you're having a "no life", staying too much at home without any interesting activity or social life. Fat is associated with low quality food rich in calories and shit like industrial ones because they are cheaper and poor people can afford it despite it's ruining their health. Healthy foods is expensive when you think about it. Organic food, fresh vegetables and fruits, it needs a good salary to buy it from stores unless you grow them by yourself.

Traditional European dietary costumes are a lot more healthy than African ones. You are talking about fast food chains. No one is forcing them to eat there.

European shit doesn't stink as much as African shit.

Europeans seek extra carbs and fats. Africans just want enough carbs to survive and have vitamins.

There are nutritional reasons behind this obviously.
