They consume carbs on a regular basis but are seemingly never obese. I was in the Philippines 2 years ago and the amount of rice they eat in a meal is fucking mind-boggling, lol.

Are their obesity rates lower because they're more active? Or is it because of the portions? Or maybe I'm just making an assumption that obesity rates in Asia are lower?
This is post your plate not how much rice flips eat
