Is it biology or diet or lifestyle that makes certain races and cultures slimmer then other social groups?

Like overweight people are almost non existent in the Chinese community at my school. And they are as common as water in my pentecostal community.

Diet. 20 years back obese people were rare in my country, now 30% of elementary school children are obese. I don't think life style changed that much but food became definitely much more saturated with corns fructose and other stuff like glutamine.

I say it’s biology, diet and lifestyle depending on the person. Genetics could play a role as well as the other 2 but Idt race has anything to do with it.

lifestyle and diet. The further east you travel when actually in China, the more westernized the diet has become and they are starting to get fatter. When I was in Middle school there was like one fat girl and one fat boy in my school, I still remember their names. now in middle school most children are overweight, same race. Some races have a higher inherent intellect which leads to better impulse control and ability to delay gratification

To me, it is diet plus lifestyle makes that. Diet is the most effective one. Lifestyle comes after this. When harmful diet for their personal health follows a static lifestyle then it becomes a piece of cake to gain weight dramatically... Biological effect is slight on this. Some people are prone to get weight easier than others and some people have some diseases run in their family cause putting weight on as well.
