They do, just not everyday :P
Nah, seriously, it's hard to over-eat as much in poorer countries. But I think they do eat a lot of rice, fish/seafood and fruits and vegetables, so I guess their eating style is healthier indeed. Not that it's hard to have a healtier cousine than the USA anyway.
Also, lifestyle has a big influence. I bet they are a lot more active, working like a horse on a field and walking everywhere and all that, they're bound to be spending many more calories. Yeah, they all work on the fields. And no, I don't stereotype.
But I guess the smaller and less missigenated the country the more likely it is to have a strong genetic tendency, so that may help. That and maybe higher social pressure too, since really overweight people must be looked at much more like freaks around there.
Anyway, I'm drunk and I'm babbling, so I'll stop.
Oh, btw, the thread now gets orange when you're quoted. Nice :)
