Story #13: Obesity

I haven't written in a while in part because I have been busy with work and media interactions. Because this blog isn't about my professional life, I am not going to get into the details of all of this. BUT - I work in the obesity field and today I interviewed with a Singapore radio show. After hearing about this interview, my sister's friend asked, "Are there fat people in Singapore?" A quick Google search suggests that obesity is an issue in Singapore, but that perhaps they are doing a bit more on a large scale to prevent it. We always think of obesity as an American issue, but the response to this work suggests that it's a worldwide issue. It could still be due to the Americanization of the world. Who knows...
