Fake news.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: In America people regularly eat: 10 pound steaks, all you can fried chicken, seafood, pizza and super sized fast food meals. Americans are obese/fat because they simply eat too much meat and dairy. That freedom to eat what you want is making you all obese/fat and lots of health problems that are easily preventable by a change in diet. |
False.
| Dark_Lord_2008 said: On the other hand we have North African people that are slim and lean and stick to plant based diets. Most of the Olympic Gold Medallist from 800m to Marathon distances have all been from North Africa: Kenya, Ethiopia, Morocco, Algeria, etc. They mainly stick to a plant based diet and they are not obese/fat like many Americans and Europeans. |
Do some research on general health and well-being. Start with calories.

| Dark_Lord_2008 said: Paleo diets and other fad diets that push high consumption of meat/dairy in the long run only lead to obesity/fat and lots of health problems. Vegan diets reduce obesity/fat and reduce health problems. |
The largest contributor to modern day obesity is sugar/carbs.
Sugar/carbs tends to be Vegan.
Sugar/Carbs tends to be in everything we consume, drinks, fruits, vegetables, pasta, bread.
You should probably do some research and get educated... Entire groups of people live only on meat in the Arctic regions and have some of the longest life expectancies and healthiest lives in the world.
Then take a look at Sumo-wrestlers in Japan, they tend to survive on Carb-dense foods. (Sugar being a carb.)
At the end of the day though, doesn't matter what you eat... If you are in a caloric surplus, you are going to put on weight.
