The developing world has about a billion obese adults. There were 250 million in 1980. The number has almost quadrupled. An overseas development group said a third of people are overweight. People have more money. They also eat more fast food and less traditional, healthier food. Changes in lifestyle, more processed food, and advertising have all changed what people eat. The group said governments should change people's diets.
It's not all bad news. Denmark has laws against some fats. Restaurants and food companies must be very careful. South Korea told people about the dangers of obesity. Korea's government told people to eat traditional Korean food. This is low in fat, with a lot of vegetables and seafood. There was a lot of public education. There was also a lot of training. Koreans know that Korean food is healthy. It is good for them.
