Yeah, I don't see obesity in Capital like I do in my city in the U.S. but I do see plenty of overweight people. Especially kids, more and more. Just take a walk today and look for them. They certainly don't hide at home.
If you don't know to look for something (like overweight people), you may be blind to it. If you're one of those who drools after the hot skinny chicks with hair down to their butts who all dress the similarly or the hot men in business suits, you probably won't notice the fat folks, or really any diversity in general. Reminds me of a student who went to Los Angeles and came back and said all the girls were blond. Anyone who has set foot in LA know that's not the case, but there were enough blonds that he only focused on them and didn't notice anything else. If you don't want to notice fat or ugly people, you don't have to.
Also, I will take free water in restaurants over free soda refills any day. So unnecessary. I used to work at a movie theater back in the U.S. and so many huge people would come back to the counter with their giant cups for refills of soda. Some would even leave their movie to do so. Why????
