      3. this seems maybe related to diet because western diets make people and animals fat or something? 4. but if you actually try to isolate which part all you get is noise also 5. poor people get fat more but "healthy" food is, in fact, very very very cheap

      6. related to 5, if you go to parts of europe where salaries are low and healthy food is even more expensive you get people in the same real income bracket who are less fat. So...is it...executive function?

      Lifestyle (Europeans walk more than Americans in average by a decent margin I think?) and cultural dietary habits (“poor people food” being fat vs. sugar rich) seem like they significantly confound this comparison

      we've already established that diets don't work and exercise doesn't work (at least not very well)

      I’m not saying “diets” as in purposeful modification of habit I’m saying “diet” as in your normal habits. Dismissing all dietary impacts on fitness doesn’t make sense Same for exercise: maybe trying to get fit doesn’t work but your normal life encouraging fitness does

      I've been watching people construct a bunch of townhouses across the street for a month, they spend all day carrying heavy shit around and climbing up and down ladders and they're all fat as hell

      Sure isolating to single variables is obviously not going to be properly predictive for what is almost definitely a many variable effect but I think your dismissal of monetary effects on the basis of a comparison to Europe is weak

      I mean we have massive evidence that poor people are heavier than rich people but why is it that if you compare real incomes, it's actually just people who are *relatively* poor

      what that's telling us is that it's not literally affordability of healthy food

      Wait fuck Is “don’t eat too much” a semi novel concept in human history that we’re not necessarily well equipped by default to solve I hate to ask but could “ability to change level of fitness / weight” be somewhat covariant with g
