Do thin groups (Asians or religious Jews etc...) eat a special diet that makes them skinny?

The only explanation I have for skinny Asians is that their culture humiliates bigger people so it's either lose weight or never get married, never have friends and get hated by everyone in your family. There is no food in the Chinese diet that I believe makes you skinny.

Aaaactually, for the longest time fat people in Asia (and Africa) were viewed positively, because only rich people could buy enough food to become fat. Large parts of the people had to content themselves with the stereotypical bowl of rice. This is probably changing currently due to the adoption of Western beauty standards.

If you look at Asian Americans vs Asians there's a major difference in weight because Asian Americans eat a lot of western and fasfoods. Asians in Asia eat a lot of rice, vegetables and fish and consume much less sugar.

Lol honestly i think genetics play a big role not just diet, they just seem to be smaller people genetically speaking.

Smaller because of their diet. It's like when GIs arrived in Britain during ww2 they were a big hit with English ladies because they were corn fed tall handsome 18-24 year old with money.
