Widespread use of plastics

Tons of chemicals in plastics are known endocrine mimics

c.f. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/20/opinion/sunday/endocrine-disruptors-sperm.html

japan is among the top 3 producers of plastics in the world, including the endocrine mimic stuff. least fat industrialized peeps

nauru doesn't produce any plastics and doesn't use any more plastics than their wealth implies. fattest peeps on earth

maybe the dose-response is hosed or something something genetics. but the mining and other resource extraction seems a crisp point-source effect

if it was some huge complex of causes, it wouldn't have such a crisp beginning in the 70's, would it?

and there are gigantic differences between and within polities, 15% overweight in japan to 97% in nauru. if there aren't crisp causes and it's all a melange of muddled multifactorial things, why is it so crisply different? moreover, why's it so crisply different in manipulable ways, where japanese peeps who move to america regularly and reliably get fatter and americans peeps who move to japan regularly and reliably get thinner?

in japan I used to order the largest size gyudon available at yoshinoya, it was only 1000 calories. I basically never saw anyone else order the large.

the endocrine system determines your appetite. they have capitalism in japan too - if the japanese suddenly had american or saudi-sized appetites they would immediately go and make american or saudi-size portions available. it's a lagging indicator, not a determinant. they had sane-sized portions in 1950s america, too

Your latter point if anything seems to confirm it's a mishmash of environmental factors rather than a specific x/y/z is to blame thing, you have individuals that change the environment they're in a seem to "naturally" gain or lose weight in line with what matches to the general local population in their new environment. That could easily be explained by some combo of the food options and culture that encourages eating healthier/less calories and people moving around more in their day to day lives either through transportation differences or common local activities. Why it's not so "crisply" identifiable could readily be due to a mishmash of these things being hard to track. There very well could not be a "crisp" explanation ever and the best you'll ever see as wearable tech gets more and more advanced/common is that as obesity rates rise your average person is consuming more and moving less.

absolutely. and they weren't fat. you would have 270 lb peeps paraded around as circus sideshows

the ghrelin-leptin-incretin lipostat does its job well when it isn't being hosed up by pollutants. calories in minus calories out but the lipostat fucks with both calories in and out by like 1-5x depending upon endocrine set point

japan implemented both of those in the late 00's (really fat shaming long before and the metabo law, which includes collective fat shaming, in 2008) and they're still getting fatter. they aren't very fat compared to anyone else industrialized of course, but they're still fat compared to indigenous peeps - and gettin fatter

Sadly metabo law is not a direct personal fine for being fat. Absolute top tier fat shaming though, someone give the Japanese government a sixer.

bmi 24, previously 29

you may or may not be able to individually lose weight with diet and exercise or whatever, but we have not one example of a population of peeps losing clinically relevant weight with diet and exercise and keeping it off. all we have for examples for clinically relevant-sized weight loss is cases of material societal collapse (syria, venezuela) and endocrine treatments

there are 2 billion peeps who got fat over the last 50 years. you cannot solve a problem of 2 billion peeps by individualized alienated behavioral stuff
