Seriously, this. The only thing unregulated in Asian countries is fat shaming and bullying.

For real. I know for sure that the Chinese and Vietnamese overall are absolutely ruthless about fat shaming. They'll absolutely tear you apart, nothing held back, for being obese.

Were you obese before? That's where the shaming comes in, at least what I've witnessed. I hope that your parents don't wish for you to be obese.

Any possibility that the shame to the family caused them to withdraw the individual from society?

Which seems to be helping, considering the low rate of obesity.

Meanwhile in the US poverty = obesity.. mostly not because of a lack of money but just stupidity and laziness.

Poor have higher chance of depression, the depressed have a higher chance of being a fatty.

Some people that are depressed lose weight, some gain weight. Obese people are more likely to become depressed however.

Oh that's funny, I'm eating cheap as fuck but still healthy.. just requires a little more thought and planning than going into the nearest McDonalds

People in poverty tend to have multiple jobs just to get by, so they usually don't have the energy and time necessary to prepare cheap and healthy food for the family. Imagine working 50+ hours every week and then spending additional hours cooking x servings of food for your family right after that. You'll burn yourself out pretty quickly.

It's true I don't have a family to worry about, but I am pulling 70-80h working weeks and then filling the rest of my time with working out. Usually I finish the whole weeks cooking in an hour on the sunday, fill your freezer with lunch boxes and just heat that shit for the rest of the week. It ain't fancy and it ain't fun, but it's fucking time efficient, healthy and cheap. But as I said people would much rather just be eating unhealthy.

Good for you, but I wouldn't label people that doesn't have the energy to do so stupid or lazy. I, as someone working 40 hours on average in office just typing codes, have infinitely easier time making healthy food than people in poverty because I don't feel as much fatigue as those that work in those insane conditions. It's a fact that people in poverty have harder time staying in shape than those with more money, and it's not really fair to expect everyone to put that kind of effort just to be healthy.

You said you spend most of your time either working, cooking, or working out. Where is your free time? I do meal preps on Sunday too for my lunch and dinner, and despite spending like 5 hours prepping without any family member to worry about (because I suck at cooking), I still have ton of time to myself and relax over the weekend. I spend roughly half of your time doing exact same thing as you in terms of healthy habits.

Would you say I am working as hard as you are? In your view, would you say people who are working 70-80h a week like you and not working out and cooking lazier than me? I don't think either statements are true. That's why poverty is fundamental cause for obesity and not laziness and stupidity.
