Isn't obesity in India linked to ghee, condensed milk, and sugar consumption.
Surely there must be some way for a human being to limit the amount they eat, the same way an animal does?
It's very easy to get obese, but it's not something that happens overnight. There must be some kind of feedback system that can stop it early on. I'm not saying anything can be done for those who are overweight now, but to stop those in the future, i.e. the kids now. China with its one child policy is facing childhood obesity for the first time, proper fat little kids, who've been spoilt by parents and 2 sets of grandparents.
If there are cheap preventative methods they can only help.
I also think food is getting better. I remember not wanting to finish meals, or being a much fussier eater. As a child I remember thinking this tastes like sh!t, I'm not eating this. I can't remember the last time I didn't finish something because I didn't like it. Boiled potatoes at school would be regularly left by me, but I can't remember the last time I was served boiled potatoes in this country.
