> we can still talk about degrees

And yet Europeans in this discussion are going out of their way to play the America Fat game without acknowledging how much fatter Europeans are than Asians.

Ah but you see that's unfair, because Europe has much better beers than Asia.

That is certainly true. But now I feel like we need to talk about beer in America. Because as much as I love a real German beer, the variety and quality of beers we have to choose from in America is pretty astonishing. At least it seems that way in my bubble (and it certainly helps that I live in an area of the PNW that has a high per-capita number of breweries).

That feels like a 2000+ change though.

Yes, I still enjoy weissbier sometimes but currently mass-produced German beers can't hold a candle to all the incredible US craft breweries that popped up during the last two decades (Monkish, Other Half, Evil Twin, etc.)

I think most europeans wouldnt mind agreeing to that most Asian countries are eating healthier, and their bmis will reflect that.

Nobody did, please don't derail the conversation. I did even acknowledge that Germans aren't that slim.
