The WHO should follow Japans example and classify anything with a bmi over 25 as obese

japan has a really well developed fast/junk food and soda etc culture and yet everyone there is thin. tokyo is earth's largest city and japan is one of the great powers of industry and technology, and there's abundance and wealth there. they have vending machines on every block distributing unhealthy food. how is everyone so thin?

Because their "junk food" is actually healthy.
I've been there for two week and fuck, I wish my convenient stores had food like Japan. Here it's just hotdogs, hamburgers and pizza etc. In Japan they have all these rice based snacks like onigiri or even bento boxes. They have lots of ready meals with one day expiration date and my favorite was just fresh ramen ingredients that you just pour with boiling water and have everything in it fresh, not like these dried instant soups. You can easily buy bottles of just green tea instead of sweet soda drinks etc. It's hard to be fat in Japan.

lol, I played tennis at state level all through high school and was team captain, and I've been training bjj for 4 years. I'm unironically pretty jacked. and my BMI is just barely in the "overweight" category despite the fact my cardio is excellent. BMI does not take body fat % at all, it is only a good system for skinnyfat normies like you. For actually athletic people it is an irrelevant system.

They really just need to teach basic nutrition in school.

Pretty much everything I know about food I learned on my own, teachers never told me shit about basic metabolism. You talk to your average American they think carbs are what make you fat because retards don't understand that carbs at a basic level are just a form of energy your body can use, and any excess energy is stored in fat. Most people who are obese are obese because they don't count calories and they don't pay attention to portions. They're fat because they don't know how their body works, and don't want to know.

I mean the only thing inherently bad with junk food is the sodium content, and maybe the cholesterol. The rest is just fat, protein, and carbs, which your body needs to run efficiently.

Eating junk food doesn't make you fat. Eating too much makes you fat.You can eat a 600 calorie burger from McDonalds, or you can have a 800 calorie poached chicken and rice meal. You're going to gain more weight by eating the chicken meal.

Measuring body fat % is nontrivial, unlike measuring weight.

Stop being assburgers and deal with the fact that assuming average Joe bodyfat% BMI is a fairly.decent measure.
It's certainly better than IQ, which is virtually meaningless.

Have you ever even been to Japan?

>developed fast/junk food and soda etc culture

Their "junk foods are way healthier, eaten less frequently, and have smaller portions. They very rarely have soda. It is not uncommon at all for a Coca Cola vending machine to have only 1 or 2 soda options that people barely buy

>they have vending machines on every block distributing unhealthy food

Yeah a onions bar with fruit in it and a vending machine that has mostly fruit juices and unsweetened teas in it is SOoooooOOoooo unhealthy.... they have way more healthy options with fast food and in vending machines.

Holy shit, anons. Long ago I was told that if you were 1.83 m, your ideal weight should be 83 kg. If you were 1.70 m, it should be 70 kg, etc.
Turns out that was true. The max BMI you get is 25 at around 1.99 m and 99 kg.

In the 1.50 to 1.99 m range, you really should follow that rule and you will not be considered pre-obese by WHO standards.

>how is everyone so thin?
1. They sleep like 4 hours a day because sleep deprivation is seen as diligence even though it reduces their work efficiency to the point where 90% of their work culture is fucking around doing nothing.

2. Their actual, home cooked meals are fucking nothing. A tiny bowl of rice, 2 slices of ham, some friend eggplant and some beans is a normal dinner.

3. Being fat will ruin you socially and in a career so you can't afford to let it happen

4. They're usually so occupied there isn't much time to bother with food. Keeping busy is a big thing there, it's why schools run clubs and so many places expect you to work overtime.

t. lived in Japan for a year.
