Comment on A tragedy in one part
dingus@lemmy.world 1 day agoI don’t think I buy the diet thing at all.
In the US, it’s commonplace for people to “get a tan” and people in general are not as protective over sun with the use of sunscreen or long sleeves/pants.
In many Asian countries, whiter skin is more desirable. People are a lot more diligent in wearing long sleeves and pants when spending time in the sun and etc.
The sun will age you a LOT.

That doesn’t really explain why this effect seems to have been observed in europe and australia as well, though. Tanning is definitely a thing there, too
