Just spent another afternoon in Little India today, and I'm really enjoying comparing the culture to our own.
A big thing I noticed - there really aren't many "plus" sized Indian women, let alone much of a selection of large-sized clothing.
An even bigger thing I noticed - portion sizes are proper (we ordered sodas and received 16 ounces instead of 22+), most food is vegetarian, and sweets/confections are not loaded down with sugar.
The biggest thing I noticed - it's not a mere coincidence, and damn, Americans are fat when compared to other cultures. It's quite obvious that large amounts of red meat, sugar, and unnecessary portions are 99% to blame.
It reminded me a lot about my responsibility of my size.
And, it was quite inspiring to do something about it. I can enjoy wonderful foods without stuffing myself like a turkey.
