For example, if you look at the Indian subcontinent, then you tend to notice that the average Indian person just does not hold as much skeletal muscle as naturally as the average human in the world, and nor are they particularly prone to rapid obesity.

But what you have is a situation where many folks who are genetically Indian or from related region of that world, South Asians, they tend to exhibit higher than expected rates of simultaneously low muscle mass. and relatively high body fat levels.

So like in clothing, they present as totally normal, but then you do a body fat exam and they're like at 33% and they're 32 years old and pre-diabetic, which is quite rare for most folks. And so we can say like, so what is it about Indian food? I mean, fundamentally Indian food is only one scientifically confirmed thing to do with this. It's like maybe the tastiest food in the world.

It's just better. Indian food is just better. If you've never had Indian food, you'd never really eaten until you've had it. And so, but like, you know, it's not just the food that's doing that. That's a lot of that's genetics because if you fed, you know, Northern Europeans, a ton of Indian food, they would have lots of muscle mass and body weight.

They would be gigantic way over fat, but they wouldn't be skinny fat to that same extent. And so if we over index on the differences between nations or peoples and thinking, oh, it's the social and cultural factors, which do play a role, say a minor role relative to genetics, genetic genetics plays by far the biggest role in that.

Now, Drew, to the point of cultural differences, and some of these are genetic differences expressing themselves as culture, some of these are purely cultural. Let's take a quick think, you and I, as about how different that is. Could you imagine an American corporation coming up to Linda, the overweight secretary, and going, Linda, the corporation needs you to lose weight. Lawsuit! National news!
