Asians are more healthier than europeans (europeans, americans and Canadians, since we all came from some place in Europe at some time, so generally, white people.)

Because Asians eat more fish, rice and vegetables. They also eat less than Europeans. Europeans eat more cows, pigs and chickens and less vegetables, a lot more wheat... And a lot of desserts that are unhealthy for us. Europeans also store more fat because of the colder weather. Also, asians have less diseases than europeans, like cancer and that stuff. That's also because of their diet. *Watched a documentary in the summer on this subject.*


That explains the size differences! Chubby asians are a cause of European advancement in Asia (fast food chains).... Now I really want some sushi. T_T

Yeah...I can't resists chips. they're to die for...AND they're everywhere!

I really do wish they had slightly larger sizes or something, it's really depressing when you see all the cute things they have. Man, I wish I was a normal-sized asian, haha.

Despite the fact that asians eat healthier food, i honestly think it has to do with genetics aswell.

I'm skinny as a twig =X..and trust me...I'm VERY unhealthy. I don't really exercise unless you count running to class exercise xD..I eat junk food a lot..on the regular (so bad i know but i can't help it..I think i'm addicted to eating xD). Haha jk, but i know for sure I'm not very healthy. Although I have gained a little weight, still look pretty stick skinny >.< In the past i've tried to put on a little weight..unsuccesful. I think generally asians have a higher metabolism based on what a lot of people have told me, since many of the asians I know just can't seem to put on weight easily =/

Not saying this is true for everyone though.

I agree, but Asiajam can't do anything if the sizes aren't made. We're lucky they are even up for sale so cheaply!!

But I'm pretty small built up top, but I have muscular legs, and I always have to buy a bigger size!

so lately, i've been gaining a lot of weight and i can't stop. usually i have a limit and can control how much i eat and can diet easily, but i'm too hungry. garrrrr my mom says that it's because i'm growing. i hope so, but whatever it is is taking forever and is making me fat. BLAAH~

i think most clothes asiajam sells would fit me (the dress i won did), and the stuff i bought from yesstyle fit as well (a lot of their shirts seem to be kinda baggy/long actually)...
I'm sure for others having bigger sizes would be beneficial (and perhaps a better size chart, like one that compares sizes from differnt countries..), especially for things like skirts (which i myself am afraid of fitting into).

Yeah...with the whole blame America thing, I'm an Asian living in America, and let me tell you, that might be the case...because when I went over to Taiwan, the diet was drastically different and I lost like 3 lbs in a week...then gained it all back when I came back to America. Don't get me wrong, I still am really skinny, and can fit into all the free-size stuff, but I've noticed that clothes that are "Plus Sized" are just maternity clothes over there.

Chances are...the chubby Asian girls in the minority over there probably have to get their clothes tailored to their size. TwT;;; And a lot of them are short too. >:O When I was over there shopping for clothes, I found that many of the dresses were...barely appropriate for me, because most girls were around the 5'0"-5'3" height, whereas I was 5'6". T__T I bought this gorgeous dress, but realized I'm still growing...in about 2 years I won't be able to wear it probably coz I'll be too tall by then.

I think this is true for the majority of Asians. My friends at school who are Asian and have either big breasts or are chubby/fat, I've found all have some European blood in them (grandparent).

Huh...I was looking at some of the asiajam stuff today, and realized, I can't wear a lot of the skirts for the COMPLETE opposite reason. The waistline is too big, and if I wore it, it'd fall down to like...enough to look skanky. Dx Really sucks, coz I liked some of those corset skirts....(measured my waistline, it's too big by like 2 inches).

[Edit]

Oops, my bad, didn't measure the widest part of my waist....blargh...

The skirts do look really short though....@A@;;

[Edit2]

...oh, the part I measured to be 28 inches was my hips....wow. These skirts are too big for me...but I guess the waistline being 28 inches is okay, coz it just means the skirt will just fall down to my hips, which isn't that bad, it'll be like the skirt is longer...looking at least.

true, but do you mean Europeans from europe...? or more the western countries? since the world is getting more 'american'
people are getting fatter by the minute. there are so much snacks here and everywhere you look.. there's a MC or a Burger king. O__O

it's a huge fact that people just get fatter since there's more and more fat food for sell. people don't care much about the things that are inside food. and ofcourse red meat. here in holland we now have some funny products that taste like meat... but they are made out of milk ^__^

even when Im not mega fat (I feel chubby yet).. I also don't fit in some things from asiajam. like skirts XD my hips are soo weird.

some asian stores carry more western sizes. but even then.. they still are a bit tiny from time to time. you just have to be lucky I guess when it comes to asian clothing.

Uh, you can't just lump white people from all over the world together. Europeans have VASTLY different diets than their American counterparts. Sure, they aren't as healthy as Asians perhaps, but they do remain the middleground.

European people have incredibly smaller portion sizes in home meals as well as fast food and chain resteraunts. That's healthier. Most countries also favour cycling and walking in Europe, whereas America is stocked full of SUVs and whatnot.

It really ISN'T the same, despite the fact that we've come from the same roots.
