I think the deal is, there's a genetic component. If you look at the dictators &c of these countries, you'll see a few very large persons. Clearly, you can have all the "fat genes" there are, but if you only get 200 calories a day, you're not going to gain much weight.

My only question is if it is gene related. Why is it only the wealth countries that people seem to have this gene? If you get a chance take a trip to south east asia and notice how the gene does not appear much there.
