-- James Donald:
Used to be that in the third world most people were skinny, so fat was a status symbol. Now diet books are outselling cookbooks, and Rubenesque women are everywhere out of fashion.

Uh, where? In China? In India? Indonesia?
Yes.
ANd despite the economic advances of, say, China, outside coastal regions acquiring enough calories is still a challenge.
A challenge that these days most people meet, and a distressingly large number of people more than meet. iIt used to the be that the third world was visibly getting less skinny. Now it is visibly getting fatter. I could post statistics, but better still, you should look through the photos posted by a chinese introduction agency. Search for Indonesian and Chinese. They are not as fat as us westerners, but they are still too damned fat. --digsig James A.
