Firstly, I would absolutely love to visit these places but have not made it yet, one of the biggest reasons being the food! I would certainly agree with Jive Lad that the different eating habits have a huge impact. A very good friend of mine from Uni is from Thailand and you could always tell when she had been spending time eating our cuisine compared to her own by how much she weighed!
My Dad went in a hot air balloon late last year and he weighed 16.5stone then!
If you could see the foods that canteens can serve and still abide be these rules you wouldn't be saying that!
Schools can only make so much difference without the support of home and family, eating habits are a diffcult thing to change even in younger children!
Comfort eating is also a big issue, eating is a very psychological thing! If we could just follow our inbuilt instinct I am sure the problem would begin to improve! Unfortunately this instinct seems to have been overidden by advertisments etc!
