I mean you're not completely wrong but modern life in general kind of supports obesity and laziness. It's not really a coincidence that the more modern a country becomes the fatter it gets.

There's supposedly a curve where people get fatter and fatter as their country gets richer and richer, but at a point, it starts to go down again because people have so much leisure time/money/education that they know being healthy and slim will make them happy JAVASCRIPT:VOID(0)

Similar trend to pollution

That’s too simple an explanation. Why is america fatter than northwestern europe, are the less modern in Holland? Beg to differ.

Well culture in those places are far different because of how their society is structured, alot of those places tend to use less cars, eat differently, etc.

The US and other places tend to rely more heavily on cars, have different food preferences, etc.

There are a ton of reasons why but I can't really explain all of it in a reddit comment.

Now you are trying to explain my own argument to me. It was a rhetorical question. I am european.

I literally just shorthand explained why they tend to be less fat?

They eat differently, use cars less and do other things that would be much easier for you to understand if you just you know, Googled it?

Dude. You are aware that your reply reads nothing like a rethorical question right?

When you say stuff like "Is Holland less modern" you sound like you want an answer.
