I have a read an article here in yahoo (i think) about how asians already have certain types of diseases (e.g. cancer) that have been linked to "bad western habbits". If this is true and can be proved factually, can asian governments sue the american government? please explain why or why not.

The US government cannot be directly sued for cancer or other deseases. Manufacturers of food or services that causes cancer are responsible and these entities are the proper parties of a suit.

No, because they chose those habits on their own. No court would allow it. Free will caused the consumption and distribution of the products, not government intervention.
But, I agree. I'm here in Thailand now, and everyone is thin, save a visit to the internet cafe where you can often see one or two fat persons playing video games eating Lays potato chips and drinking coca cola.
