Xiao Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Being huge has become the "new normal" in Thailand that it is hard to shop for fit blouses and dresses. They have the tendency to sell "pregnancy" clothes in many places in Thailand. Go to the bra section in a supermarket to see the cup sizes they sell: those sizes were not available 13 years ago.

Thais source of fat comes from cheap processed cooking oil. Artificial vs natural fats Sugar is a bigger problem than fat is in obesity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increase in cup sizes of bras has poor correlation to obesity. More related to the activities of Silicon Valley, Yanhee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWillOz Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 In this modern world of advertising, people have completely lost touch with the truth of things, like how to maintain weight. There's just so much mis-information out there that the overweight people will never find their way back to health. Let's hope they don't get to the situation, like Australian women, where they actually think fat is healthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old "apologist" record is really and truely worn out. Can't you come up with something new, original and witty all in your own? Looking around, I don't see that many overweight women here. Maybe I'm living in a part of Thailand where the women avoid fast food, excessive amounts of alcohol and generally take care of themselves? Yes, there are overweight people in the land of smiles, but it most cerytainly isn't a serious problem.(yet) and it most certainly isn't even remotely close to the obesity issues a lot of people in the West have.

Wise up to the facts, ie Thais are the second fattest in Asia. If the thread is too negative for your thin skin then avoid it, dont live in denial.

dtaanic Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Wille i agree that it is sad to se Thai people becoming fat and especially no education and government information campaigns to teach people how to live healthy and remedy to the problem.

You only get fat by eating more than you burn off through exercise and lifestyle. ??????????????? Putting fat on is indeed a genetic factor in races that lived in places where food was not always plentiful. They put fat on in times of plenty to survive when it was scarce. My father was slim till he died in his 90s, while my mother, who ate the same food ( she cooked it for him ) became fat. Some people have a higher metabolism than others and can eat the same food and do the same amount ( or less ) of exercise without getting fat as someone that does get fat. I know people like that.

True, and we can blame the Americans as it's all American chain restaurants that introduced bad food and American soft drink companies that introduced sugar water to Thailand. When I arrived some years ago a fat Thai was unusual, but now it's as common as rice. The real pity is the obese kids that will suffer for it. Even the countryside is not immune- every shop is full of saturated fat and sugar loaded snack food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
