Taiwan has an obesity rate of >20%. Not quite 35% or whatever the USA is, but still kinda high.

Actually obesity in the US is the norm now.

Preventive healthcare should be pushed more. But remember when Michelle Obama said kids should eat more vegetables?

Jamie Oliver did a show in the US and kids didn't even know what some vegetables were. Jamie showed them potatoes, tomatoes, carrots they may as well been alien the kids didn't have a clue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGYs4KS_djg
