Why are Asians so Skinny?

I would like you to please take a look behind me and try your best to spot any fat obese people in the crowd now can you see any thoughtful I mean you may see a couple of chubby people here and there maybe now this is something that really struck me in my recent trip to America I see I've been living in China for over ten years now almost eleven years and I recently went for a two months trip to America and one of the things that hit me like a ton of bricks it's just how many fat and obese people they are in America and I got me thinking it's not only America but other Western countries too I mean the same could be said for England places like South Africa Australia New Zealand you just seem to see very just thing to see a much higher proportion of fat people walking around the public so I thought I'd make this video to basically tell you why welcome to another video [Music] okay so sort of asking all these people like hey uh why y'all so thin okay I'm not going to get an answer short of asking these people all I can do is give you my observation so why are Chinese people well Asian people in general sinners and Whiston people well we're going to put it down to a couple of things and the first thing is walking you can see everybody around me is walking in fact I walk here to this place to film and it's a shot of three or four kilometer walk from my house and it's not a big deal because in a place like America or somewhere else you know you hop in your car you drive four kilometres away because well it's not convenient to walk there aren't very good for dead soon walkways and on top of that it's easy to drive it's cheap to drive everybody has a car here in China especially in the city driving is a nightmare nobody wants to drive because well first of all the roads are a little disorganized but the vast amount of cars that you find on the road coupled with this sort of selfish chaotic driving style that people have here tend to end up in gridlock and for me to drive here would have taken me about five to six times longer than it did walking you know people do walk a lot but it doesn't mean that they're really interested in sports much other than the occasional sort of haphazard badminton system that you see on the side of the road or the occasional little friendly after work basketball matches people have Chinese people and generals don't do a lot of sports in fact to have a video talking about the lack of sports over here in China feel free to go take a look however there is a bit of a trend happening these days with these gyms and fitness centers opening up so I thought I'd go and interview the owner of a local fitness center near my house and just find out exactly what the deal is with the whole sort of fitness team here in China oh hi beneath the lofty let me see those people to be the default so he does that you want lynching us on the mention and cheeky the debug complete playing with a dog ah lovely well hello Anita double-ended orange jumper and Comanche ones or system in DOMA this is a simpler so this is a package a beautiful piece of you know the Busan Incheon Armed Services ranch in Bergen - so lingo identical double and tama - ha ha whoo yeah yeah yeah pass on yes love it thank you very much thank you very good to meet you now the next thing we're going to talk about is diet first of all Chinese people don't eat bread and they don't eat dairy products now this helps a lot when it comes to losing weight because well they do sometimes have like a little sweet kind of bread cake thing for breakfast first in general they don't eat bread and of course no butter or no cheese no milk and all of this helps when it comes to losing weight however on the flip side Chinese diet is usually right vegetables at least on soffits rice vegetables and lean meat so see the fried up or steamed up north they prefer noodles and of course there's a huge amount of other proof that this general thing that people eat every day is right and this leads to a situation where people they can eat and get full but they don't store a lot of energy so most of my Chinese friends they have 3 square meals a day however if they skip out on one of those meals they feel incredibly relaxed luster they feel lethargic the stomach starts to hurt so basically you get a situation where they eat a lot but they don't put on a lot of weight that's the same time don't store a lot of energy now you may be curious as to what Chinese people think of their own body image my friend and fellow villager Seema has just made a video about this should be quite interesting go check it out on his channel Grom we Hal fail we also cigar tsukkomi panda now these are just some of the things that you will hear if you come to China and I'm saying Union have to be fat so people will call you fat I hope you guys found this video informative and maybe give you an idea as to why Chinese people and Asian people in general are a lot skinnier than their Western counterparts thank you very much for watching as always don't wait to see in the next video and as always you know the drill the heel [Music] [Music]
