What's the public perception on obesity in your (home) country. I put (home) country because a lot of us are immigrants to the US. I am a first generation Chinese American myself. Back in the Chinese world, obesity is considered to be shameful. Fatties are publically shamed and humiliated. There are ads, television, and government campaigns to combat obesity through sensible eating and daily exercise. However, obesity is slowly on the rise since a lot more people are working office jobs and eating lots of junk food.  When I first came to America, I was a smallfat child. I was pushing borderlining obesity status in China, but it's nothing compared to other American kids. Over time, I was able to lose the weight, but Americans just keep getting fatter and fatter.  What about you and your culture?
