Obesity a worldwide problem

A recent study twenty year study of weight gain has received some coverage in the British press. The findings reveal that over 20 years the average weight of the population has increased by sixteen pounds. Further, it seems that rather than weight gain being the product of lazy people lacking will power, an approach the media and many of the moronic public have taken in their attempt to stigmatise and persecute the overweight, it is more the case that gradual changes in eating patterns, and what is available on shop shelves, over a long period of time, increase weight.

There seems to be a culture in many countries, such as Tonga, USA, Malaysia, Philippines and Korea to name a few for people to eat more unhealthy foods.

The speed at which Koreans are becoming fatter is quite alarming and while there were a few chubby kids 10 years ago, it is now becoming a regular occurrence. At the same time the girth of Koreans is expanding, changes are occurring in shops and you can almost see corresponding ballooning of Korean bellies as new foods are introduced. It is quite clear that obesity is a product not of sloth and ill-discipline, but the western-style diet which with its fried chicken, pizzas and burgers, has already made an impact on the Korean peninsula.

Local foods in many countries are gradually being usurped by imported high sodium, high fat western food. where local supermarkets used to have one frozen food chest cabinet the contents of which were not very enticing, mostly mandu, pork cutlet and ice cream. The amount of frozen food has tripled and now can include numerous microwave able options such as black noodles, spaghetti Bolognese, garlic bread, curry and rice etc.

Imported canned food, along with those enormous slabs of chocolate, almond, fruit and nut, Belgian white, Milky Bar etc, are now commonplace in Malaysia and growing in the Philippines

How the average person becomes 16 pounds heavier over 20 years ago ,(and the average weight is still increasing), is not rocket science. Along with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle and the many changes in what is available around us, the pounds gradually accumulate. The Big Mac and Whopper, former bulwarks of the fast food industry are now pathetic little things, dwarfed by subsequent generations of super and mega burgers. Burger King's, triple Whopper with cheese packs 1250 calories, Hardee's 2/3 pound Monster Thickburger contains 1320 calories along with a massive 3.20mg of sodium while the humble cheese burger has psychologically shrunk to the size of a coin and seems a positively healthy morsel by comparison.
