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

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).

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.)

That feels like a 2000+ change though.

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