i read your link, i live in India.. it comes under southasia so even though its not as strict as japan with respect to obesity, but even here obesity is made fun of, relative to rest of world here also obese people are very less in population and anyone who tends to gain fat joins gym, restricts carbs and reduces their weight.. Its given a serious priority to become thin. Infact what i am saying is actually true for the cities(developed part of india), while the villages are pretty poor so forget obesity, most of them are malnutritioned.. well that was another issue.. but related to obesity, yes no one wants to be obese here.. i have seen my obese friends hitting off the gym and loosing like 30-40 killos in 6 months. So yeah thats it.. i personally dont mind obese peops, i mean everyone should acknowledge their body shape and its always not possible to loose weight(coz of metablism issues), but obese or not i do agree that everyone should exercise and eat healthy food for longevity.

yeah that saying goes here too lol... and no, most of the vegans have converted to non-vegiies already... here the lack of obesity is basically due to peer pressure to reduce weight and healthy food intake. Infact you can loose weight even with a chicken only diet, just make sure its oil free (roasted or boiled) and that its chicken breast(as the leg portion has a lot of fat)

Fat people are always the goofy, slothful, idiotic, lack of self control type in any show I've seen. Sure, there's not a show or people who who just blatantly say "Down with fatty.", but most definitely understand that they ARE judged in a negative light when they're obese. It's being a dick that's the problem. YOU know, like insulting people who chose to be with someone who's obese and being amazed that not everyone thinks like they do. While I do agree the mentality has to certainly change in the West, it's not ok to encourage/coddle unhealthy behavior, but there is no need for degrading treatment.

Vezax, you can loose weight with any diet, even based upon oils (see Keto par exemple) xd Some might do it better, some might do it worse, some might be better for the body, some not as much, but in the end it mostly comes down to the calorie balance and hormone levels xP Passing that, fat intake is extremely important for the proper functioning of the body! (but eat your goddamn veggies ppl, please do ;p)
