Answer 2

I am Asian and I can say that Asian becoming obese are getting common these days. Not because they have lesser children now and therefore more to eat but a lot of parents are pampering their children to MacDonald's or KFC's kid's meal. More so if the meal comes with toys.

Currently a percentage of Americans are slightly on the obese side cose of the 'sinful' but delicious food that are cooked up like fried foodstuff and meat. Asians try to balance their meals with more vegetables and drinking more water and juices. Of course we do eat unhealthily like once in awhile, we indulge in a MacDonlad, Burger King or KFC meal (maybe once in 2-4weeks).
