The sad thing for me is that young guys in the west have not much say in the whole process. They are presented with plus sized girls and have to make do or make do without. Hardly a choice. That being said rich men generally have thin wives.

I agree with what Simon says about the food on offer in the supermarket but people do not have to live on chips and sugar. There is a fruit and vegetable section. Again it is calories in vs. calories out.

I'm sure there are classes in schools where the equation is mentioned. Walking so many kms equals X calories, One super sized coke equals X + calories but obviously it is easier not to listen.

That being said there are even cultures where women are fattened up for marriage like prized animals.

We now live in a society where one gets a prize for participating because there should be no losers. Just because standards overall in everything seem to be dropping to include everyone, doesn't mean it is normal.
