No offense intended 😃That’s why I showed the picture of the chief . He didn’t do any physical work .
Also the smaller pig eats more calories than the larger one.!
As far as calories go the important factor is not the amount consumed but the amount burnt off. And not burnt off by exercise. The regulator of metabolic rate is the thyroid. Any thing that lowers thyroid function slows this rate.
Think of it this way the amount of money in your bank account is determined more by your rate of spending than your rate of earning .

Ok, but that brings us full circle doesn’t it? Your initial assertion was that the difference between the 2 pigs was purely due to what they eat. Now you’re saying that the amount of exercise is the main factor?
If you remember my initial response was that their diet is not the only thing responsible for the difference.
If you had a comparison of pigs of the same breed who had the same amount of exercise but were fed different diets and you had a similar result to your initial picture that would be an honest comparison.
Likewise comparing the Samoan guy from 150 years ago with someone from today is not an honest comparison because there are so many uncontrolled variables.
The reasons for the differences are multifaceted and nuanced.
