I have lived in Nepal for over 3yrs and I am a bigger built person. Everywhere I go I am stared at and asked questions. "What is your weight? why are you so fat? children are worst mainly among the uneducated they would call out 'molti molti' meaning fat. I was certainly pleased that I lost weight as travelling in buses was no fun. The people here are so small and me being big boned it is hard to sit with anyone else on their narrow seats. I do regret allowing myself to have got this size. You have to look hard to find a person overweight here not because of money there are wealthy people here but because of our lack of exercise and think nothing to eat a bar of choc or have a cake for afternoon tea where you hardly see anyone eating inbetween meals here.

Simple fact is "FAST FOOD" is the root cause of all evils. The health system is becoming burdened on account of this industry and adding to our tax dollars. People would be more active and healthy if the society on the whole only promoted such foods. Can these fast food providers profess that they utilize a healthy cooking medium?? Yes they contribute towards a number of charities but lead to more severe health problems by dishing out crappy foods.
