You've got it all wrong....
Really it's very simple...
Type A = Will always be able to eat whatever they want... and NEVER get fat.
Type B = If your not Type A then, like me, that's to farking bad. For the rest of us, the rule of Calories in - calories burned = Weight loss/gain. It will always require effort to lose/maintain your weight. It does not matter what you eat. Just follow the rule. However, if you value your health, you'll eat things that are at least nutritious for you. And maybe if you like energy or would like to burn it a bit faster... you'll exercise, as this does boost your metabolism a bit. No amount of exercise is going to make you skinny if you continue to eat whatever you want! If your hungry all the time and/or have a big appetite, you can even do one better and eat things that are low calorie and filling, like vegetables and fruits. That way you at least feel full at the end of every meal.
These rules apply to everyone that is not Type A. Though Type A should be warned that just because you CAN eat crap does not mean that it's ok. It will catch up with you, some day.
Now I know I'm going to hear from someone that disagrees, but thats because your either fat and don't want to do anything about it, or your 'skinny for life' and have no experience in this regard.
I'm shocked that it got this far. I've worked in international forwarding for over a decade, and have done more heavyweight shipments to Brazil than I can count. The laws for importation of almost ANYTHING is strict as hell. In almost all cases import duties and taxes must be paid for upfront before the shipment will be released from Brazilian customs.
I have a feeling that if arrests were being made at CISCO there were also people in customs being taken down. Brazil is kind of a paradox in this regard. They have the strictest of import laws, but their system is damn corrupt.
It would also not surprise me if this was nothing more than a money grab by the Brazilian government.

Why is it that it's always assumed that they crossed via a land bridge? Just because there was a ice age then?
This is what drives me farking insane about some 'scientific' research. THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE ARE REPRESENTED AS FACT!
If you don't know how they got here.. because there is NO way to know.. than SAY SO or don't say anything @ all. Just state what you have learned.
Just because something has been repeated often enough does NOT MAKE IT TRUE.
