90kg is waaaay above what an average person should weight. 70 kg is much closer to a healthy weight.

I guess obesity has the upside of making protein consumption of USians appear reasonable? Silver lining!

    90kg is about the average weight of a European man.

    I'm not sure. Unless you are 1.90m tall or very buff, 90kg puts you in the overweight category.

    It could also be heavy bones. Although I guess that wouldn't get you to a 90.
    Also, I think white muscles (fast-twitch fibres) would be have a higher specific weight (due to lesser capillaries), which could also make someone heavier without looking fat.
