Haha yea that's the thing with "data driven"... there's an infinite amount of data. Maybe they're wearing the wrong color socks. You need to already have a hypothesis/mechanism in mind to even collect the appropriate data.

My money is on "least amount of time to adapt to whatever is the factor (probably seed oils)" and now very high % of their food containing the factor. I do think these hyper obese cultures had a crazy swing from basically ancestral hunter/fisher/gatherer/tuber food supply to all-processed-food in 1 generation or less.

Whereas most countries in the West took 2-3 generations to make the same change. So they basically leapfrogged us.
