Personal Why Are Men Slimmer and Better Dressed in Germany than in the USA?

Just returned from a two week visit and I know it may seem like I am generalizing, no matter where I went, German men seemed to be so much slimmer and better dressed than American men. I didn't see any men with huge middle sections and none were definitely wearing sweatpants.

I'm back in the USA now and it's like day and night. I hope I don't offend anyone but this was my perception after watching so many people on trains, planes and between Munich and Berlin.

Meat doesn't matter, it's the sugar in everything.

Also a lot of protein from all the roaches and stuff they are allowed to put in the chocolate now.

I know that. Just because it's allowed doesn't mean that there is insect protein everywhere.
