To a certain extent Rob. I am not sure you have seen the kind of ads that are mentioned here, but those ads for slimming are in no way related or targeted to a healthy lifestyle. It is just to comply with the idiot pretention of being more attractive when weighing less than 8 kg or alike.YF wrote:You could look at it two ways:
(1) The increasing westernization of the east is bound to create an obesity epidemic such as that found in the US.
(2) Is there anything wrong with encouraging healthy living and a healthy diet? I think this could have a significant impact on the overall welfare of society. Even if the main motivation is vanity, mayb the ends justify the means.
Someone once told me: "You know you are in the US when even the asian girls are fat" -- this is not a jok either. I noticed a big moving from Canada to the US. I also heard something this summer about immigrants moving here, and within a single generation the "traditional" diet is repalced by the american diet and there is a 20% increase in body fat.
The fact of the matter is that we are not engineered to be fat, and I think that can have important health consequences. Think about it: do you think Syou would have seen someone like Star Jones (The View) living 10 000 years ago? Hell no. Call it "thyroid" problems or whatever, its just not a healthy physical state.
Just my $0.02 (As usual). Still lurking around
