General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)

Read a random definition: emphasis added

A quick definition of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT):

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is a legal agreement that was signed by 23 countries in 1947. Its goal was to reduce trade barriers and tariffs to help boost the global economy after World War II. The GATT has functioned as an organization and has completed eight rounds of negotiations. The most recent round, the Doha Development Round, began in 2001 and is still ongoing. In 1994, the GATT reached an agreement among 117 countries, which led to the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The WTO enforces the GATT agreement and currently has 164 members. The GATT has helped to lower tariff rates among participating countries from an average of 22% in 1947 to under 5% after 1994.

A more thorough explanation:

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is a legal agreement that was first signed by 23 countries in 1947. The purpose of the agreement was to reduce trade barriers and increase international trade, which would help boost the global economy after World War II.

The GATT has functioned as an organization, with eight rounds of negotiations completed so far. The most recent round, the Doha Development Round, began in 2001 and is still ongoing. In 1993, the GATT reached an agreement among 117 countries, including the United States, in what was called the Uruguay Round. This agreement created the World Trade Organization (WTO), which enforces the GATT and oversees international trade.

The GATT has been successful in lowering tariff levels among participating countries. In 1947, the average tariff rate among GATT participants was 22%. By 1994, after the Uruguay Round, the average tariff rate had dropped to under 5%.

For example, if a country had a 10% tariff on imported cars before joining the GATT, they would have to lower that tariff to a certain agreed-upon level in order to participate in the agreement. This would make it easier and cheaper for other countries to export cars to that country, which would increase international trade and benefit the global economy.

@babycat: I am sorry you went through that, eating disorders are horrible. I may be a gym bro because I work out so much and LOVE talking about fitness goals helping people reach theirs but I do not go so hard with the diet trends and all that. I eat a naturally healthy diet and take supplements like creatine in cycles nothing crazy and I think my body/fit is pretty hot and I am above standards in strong for my size.
you've fallen for the classic blunder

@jackfrost11770: I half ass count calories, only do it when I want justify eating a lot of cake or donuts. Outside of that it is just protein intake so I can get the growth I want
I know it's likely complete BS and largely disproven but the anecdotal reports of hair loss with creatine have prevented me from taking it lol
But I'm not trying to bulk so it's not a huge deal, been on the eternal cut

@triplethread: Like I would have to know your work out routine, your curves/curve goals if female and your body type and goal of it. If a little lower tum tum fat is bothering you, its natural and okay to have it there, it is more then likely a diet issue

@triplethread: If your only issue and thing you want to improve is that lower tum tum fat it is diet. Lower your sugar intake and cut sodium (or sweat a lot more) and after a bit you will notice a difference. You can do core daily so you core work outs and core engagement while doing cardio and lifting to tone the muscle underneather

They could just be genetically predisposed to fat accumulation there

You can still tone the muscle underneath and around it so it looks more how they want.
