There can also be cultural barriers when it comes to encouraging people to lose weight, as some groups in the South Pacific believe that beauty is marked by a large physical size.
I don't see why the WHO or anyone else should try to change these people. They're obviously doing what they want to do.
They shouldn't forcibly change them, but offering friendly advice is another thing.
