We need mmore round women and men with diabetes and high blood pressure, more men and women who walk with difficulty and labored breathing.
In Viet Nam if you stay out of the French restaurants and eat only local food you can eat your fill of the most delicious everyday fare in the world and you will not get terribly round. If you abjure the rice- it's easy- you will stay healthy and slim. If you do that and excercise and/or lift weights, you will be muscular and trim. It's kind of like the Atkins diet plus rice.

My sister is living in Japan. She loves the food there because it has carbs but she's losing a lot of weight. I've had Vietnamese food before. Reminds me of West Indian food, also very spicy and asian.
