Thank lack of personal self-control and super-sized meals and drinks.

It’s because of “fast food” and more spare time.

In Viẹt Nam in 2003 one did not see obesity or even "a little bit heavy" or even trim as we Americans might have thought it, except in Hà Nội and Sài Gòn and there it was only the occasional bureaucrat. In 200̃ I was surprised to see the first overweight child I had seen in VN, and that in a small town. By 2011 heavy was everywhere in the cities and a few percent in the small towns. Last year it lookd like Anytown, USA. The upper teenager cohorts have gotten taller pretty rapidly and boys routinely are taller than their fathers, same for girls and their mothers with a noticeable number of girls taller than their fathers. Diabetes has exploded in the country where 10 years ago it was an uncommon malady of the ruling class who were the only ones who dabbled with Western meals.

Heck go to a beach and see fat women and men wearing nothing but g-string swimwear....

I’m ashamed to say I’m one of them. I went from boxer in the twenties to now 47 and over 300 pounds. Good grief.no I could give lots of excuses but I’m a conservative and I’m the one to blame. And that is the truth. been eating lots of fish the past month and lost about 16 pounds.
