The phrase "first world problem" needs to die. It's nothing more than invalidation of real concerns and issues based on poorly calculated relativity, and a very dangerous mentality because it effectively promotes doing poorly to get simple empathy from people.

And people have been worried about getting big without getting weak, fat, or unhealthy for much longer than the first world even existed...

I wonder if there will become a time where globalization has evened out living standards for most of the non-wealthy, and "first world problems" become "modern world problems," and real problems like obesity become taken seriously, instead of derided as a reflection of "poor values."
