I am overweight and my back in in fine fettle!

Mate, you are a healthy, well-fed Westerner living in a country where over 200 Million people live on less than a dollar per day; you are bound to feel a bit chubby. You'd be slim if you lived in the States.
I tell you what though - you would be suprised the food some of these folks put away - every lunchtime at the canteen - they put away big bowls of rice, big bowls of noodles and side dishes and soup and steamed buns - a mountain of food (costs around 30p

) I can't eat anything like what they eat and I am four times the size of them!
There is some gruesome poverty here though. I am in the city (a third tier city) and it is not so bad but out in the country there are some real problems with malutrition for sure.
