People in the western countries are much larger than Asians. You can easily find an obese person across the street or in a grocery chain, hawking on fatty food products. We Asians are not excluded from the curse of obesity but compared to Americans, we are wey higher on the Safety scale. The food we eat is definitely a factor. Americans are more exposed to fast food and high calorie diet. Us Asians are more into natural and home cooked meals. This is why weight loss supplements are very in demand in the US. There are lots of weight loss products available in the market but I think people should not rely on these. Proper diet is still the best way to lose weight.
If only I had video surveillance equipment installed in our house, I would simply pin point the person who broke into our store and took some of our money. Actually this incident happened millions of years ago (and by the way we were able to determine who the thief was) so I would like to emphasize that I am no longer bitter about it. I just thought, if I will get a new place, I might consider using surveillance systems for security measures. That is if I have enough money to pay for the equipments and the installation. Lol.
